About Sidedoor

Sidedoor is a popular restaurant in the city, known for its unique and flavorful food. The menu features a variety of Asian-inspired dishes, including the well-loved braised beef and the fish and duck tacos, which many customers praise as excellent. The restaurant is tucked away in a courtyard, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with a clean and open vibe. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff are welcoming. The patio is shaded and offers a nice place to dine outside. Customers appreciate the generous portions, especially the Gnocci, Russet Fries, and the Bento box, which is filling. The Vietnamese crepe is highly recommended, and the hangar steak remains a standout dish. The Best of Sidedoor tasting menu has received praise for its exquisite flavors and beautiful presentation, making it perfect for special occasions. The dinner experience was described as extraordinary, with many dishes being delicious and impressive. The donuts for dessert were tasty but felt slightly less special compared to the rest of the meal. Some customers enjoyed sashimi and praised the overall flavors, with one noting that even friends from out of town were impressed. However, some dishes like the Vietnamese pancake and certain salads received mixed reviews, partly due to being too salty, especially the kimchi and pesto on the dumplings. The menu can be unclear about ingredients like pork belly, which was disappointing for some. Despite a few issues with salt levels and some less favored dishes, Sidedoor offers a different dining experience with tasty options. The lively atmosphere, including events like wedding receptions, adds to its vibrant ambiance.

I was here tonight, party of 5 and every single thing we ordered was superb. 5* I would highly recommend Sidedoor. Our waiter Jeff was excellent.
Will definitely be going back.

This last week end, me, my wife and my parents decided to come over to Ottawa for a week end vacations.

I literally called Sidedoor first, to reserve on the terrasse (we dont have vaccine passeport), and THEN reserved my hotels, 2 rooms for 2 nights, for over 750$ of expenses.

We literally came to ottawa to eat at sidedoor, considering everytime we tried going it was full and not possible.

I got told on the phone that the terrasse was first come first serve,yet...read full review

Amazing food and service! Can’t wait to go back!
