The Bowl - Ottawa, Ontario

The bowl at The Bowl is fine. Brownie was super delicious. Is one menu item enough to keep bringing me back? Probably not. And I also find it super weird that the owner replies to almost every review on here. Like, I get it, you want to engage with customers, ... but it's a little overboard. Read more

If you are a vegetarian or a vegan there is no need to think twice about going for a bowl. It is a satisfying meal for under $10. Even my non vegetarian friends don't mind going here for lunch. The place is small and tend to get ... crowded at some times but taking a bowl to go is easy and they travel well. Read more

I really like this place. It's pretty interesting; they only have one item on the menu, and it is a vegetarian bowl. You can to some extent customize the bowl's contents (like asking for a vegan bowl, or for no avocados and extra salsa), but that's mainly what they offer. ... They also have locally made tortilla chips, and some pretty good brownies too. Basically though, you come here just for that main dish. The single dish offering is ok though, because it's actually quite good! Not your typical bowl at all, it's like a fusion bowl, but everything just works great together. I really like it. Service is nice too (probably as fast as most fast-food places), and the actual set-up is good too. Being able to eat outside in the summer is a definite bonus. Read more

Crisp, clean and casual environment with friendly service! The food is healthy, unique and amazing with such a great flavour profile. My wife is a Celiac vegetarian and this is her new favourite place to eat. They can do vegan bowls as well! Everyone should try The ... Bowl!! Read more

Definitely a unique concept but one that could take off for people who want a reliable, healthy option for lunch and have a calorie or nutrient goal in mind. You can always substitute between ingredients should you prefer not to have one or the other and they'll happily increase the contents ... of another ingredient in the bowl. The owner is super nice, and enjoys chatting with guests to get their feedback. I give it 4 stars because of personal taste preferences but I would go back for sure and I know what I'll ask for more of next time! There are also some drinks you can buy including local kombucha. They also were selling avocado black bean brownies. I sampled one and couldn't tell that it had those two ingredients. That's a great option for vegans. All in all great low price lunch option in a nice spot in Hintonburg. Read more
