The Chopped Leaf - Cochrane

Always friendly staff, great lunch options. My go-to if I'm running around.

If i could give my meal zero stars i would. The lettuce was extremely old and wilted, the chicken was dry, and never have i seen such extreme lengths taken to minimize a good amount of sauce on a meal. Very overpriced for what small portions you get and service was sub par. Do not waste your time ordering from here.

The Local Review in Cochrane's favourite community paper, The Cochrane Post: rating: Dine-in, takeout, delivery.I don’t usually eat at chain restaurants and this was my first time ordering a “bowl”. I decided to review this business since so many people told me how good it is.And they are right!Easy parking, pull right up out front – Miss Betty and I came over on the e-bike and it was nice to have a bike stand right out front. Clean, open and bright with lots of booths, tables and windows. When I arrived just before noon, there were a few people seated, a couple of people picking up orders and just one person in front of me.Easy to read menu with photos of dishes that are available as a wrap, bowl, sandwich or grilled quesadilla, with lots of add-ons like guacamole and extras like soup. They also have the really good and guilt free potato chips, the deluxe “heathy” chips from Hardbite with less fat and calories and just as good as regular chips (and only 3 points on WW – if you know, you know! .Mihir was working alone, he’s very fast, knows the menu well and gives excellent recommendations.I went with the Harvest Bowl. SO GOOD. Fresh, tasty mix of savory and sweet on warm brown rice that’s so good and almost tastes kind of creamy, with nice variety in flavours and textures, crunchy fresh veggies and pecans. Satisfying portion, just right, excellent value. I’m happy to recommend.

Lettuce was not fresh. Poor quality chicken is used. Toppings were scarce.

Quite Expensive and not the fastest service. They don’t have much competition around for healthy options though so that might be part of it.
