"First opened back in 1988, the Green Door has been serving vegetarian, vegan, organic, and gluten-free food since well before it was cool. Options like cheddar and broccoli quiche, spanakopita, and red lentil patties are always made from scratch and laid out in a self-serve buffet. The dessert selection is especially popular, with an array of tasty cakes, pies, and cheesecakes, as well as gluten free and vegan options, all available for preorder." - Joel Balsam, Tim Forster, Eater Staff

Fresh, healthy, and full of flavour! Loved the variety of vegetarian options at Green Door. The moong bean salad was a standout — so delicious! Great spot for wholesome, feel-good food.

A great restaurant with a unique concept. Buffet style, you plate your food options and pay by the weight of it. Food is amazing, very rich flavours and big variety of desserts, salads and main dishes. Busy place (because of the good food) Highly recommended place to have a good meal, try it and I’m sure you will fall in love with this place.

Excellent food, very well set up with the buffet and clearly labeled for allergies. I got a bit of almost everything that was vegan and it was flavourful and hearty: I will definitely return! The price is high but it's nice for a special night out. The lentil patties were particularly amazing.

It's been close to 20 years since my last visit but still just as tasty as I remembered it. What warm and inviting place to spend a lazy afternoon with family.

Buffet by the weight first of it kind for me. Totally vegetarian restaurant. I found salt to be less in main course meals (maybe because of vegan salt) but singapore noodles had an overdose of ginger. Overall a good place and cozy vibes. Better than going to places which serve soya and cauliflower. Do give it a shot if you are in the town

All of the food was very clean and the pay by weight buffet was a great option for different dietary restrictions and portion expectations. Everyone enjoyed the food immensely. The way the tables are labelled "reserved for a party of #" is very misleading and it took us a minute to figure out the seating during 'self service time.' There wasn't really an approachable way to ask for water, cutlery etc. if the table wasn't set for your party. The service was friendly at the cash out, but was lacking otherwise. In some ways the 'serve yourself' style was at least efficient and we didn't have to wait long for our party to eat. They had some good looking take out options in their freezer. Overall this spot was a great place to eat when away from home.

Self serve salad bar and hot items and they are a vegetarian restaurant. But I don’t think that’s what brings people in. It’s the snobby, pretentious atmosphere. $15.86 for a few small broccoli florets, 3 cubes of beets, 3 pieces of avocado and a spanakopita. Yes, I knew the price per kg, but seriously.

The food is good… that can be said. Unfortunately not an actual buffet, it’s pay by weight and I do consider it a pretty expensive place, around $30 per plate on average and I’m usually left not fully satisfied and wanting a second. Would kill for them to offer an actual buffet, even if it was pricy. Please consider it, owners? Always the same or almost the same selection of food items every time, I wish they’d offer new and more interesting things rather than what they always have on rotation Plates and 2 person tables are simply too small, cutlery is weak too. Very crowded and cramped around the buffet especially. Just an annoyance every time
