Can't imagine why I haven't discovered this wonderful place before. Location probably. Close to Wilfrid Laurier University (food near the universities is usually not very good, although it's often cheap) and off the main drag.
Anyway, I'm glad a friend took me there and I've been back a couple of times since. The food is creative, tasty, clean, and inexpensive. Last visit by two we had curried lentil soup that is loaded with veggies and yummy - certainly made on the premises. Shared a grilled chicken sandwich, also veggie heavy and with a yummy sauce they call "Power Sauce."
If you're looking for a 12 ounce sirloin stay away but if you want healthy, interestingly flavoured grub this is perfect.
On my visits servers have been great and the place has been packed. Reservations for lunch at noon a wise choice.
I never thought I would find a place like this in Waterloo! It is simply amazing. The food is the strong point here. Everything has the perfect combination of flavors and they're not afraid to add some spice! It's a simple, unassuming restaurant that always has a creative menu. Highly recommended.
This was probably my fifth trip to Raintree and I am yet to be disappointed by their food, ambiance, or service. The food is fresh and cooked properly and they have a great selection of drinks (made on site) and desserts. As others have noted, the venus dip is AWESOME. I like taking others here as there are a lot of choices that are "safe" for vegetarians, vegans, and people who can't eat wheat.
This time we learned our lesson by making a reservation for lunch. With the high scoring we went in with high expectations. The owner was nice and kind, and very busy.
We ordered cajun and mediterranean chicken wrap with venus dips. the dip was very nice, the wrap was salty and tasty, lots of ingredients as well. The portion may not be enough for big eaters
It probably isn't perfect, but I'd visit again if I want a light lunch with good food.
