50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ottawa

“What a lovely place! Very welcoming and friendly, with super delicious food and a great selection, including awesome desserts! We were starved, so had a lot of food, including starters/snacks and dessert in addition to the main meal, and every single item was great. If you can, try the chocolate mousse cake! The best.“

“We get to gether for family gathers every month or two and the sevice is always great and the food is fresh and plentiful and great tasting variety. our server this time was BUU and she was funny and fabulous.“

“Oooh so delish. Pick your pleasure.“

“On average we get take out from Sula Wok once per week. We love the food and the vibe of the place. (Sula and her gang are also very nice to deal with). I really like the traditional Pad Thai. Recently, Sula asked that I try a slightly new version of the dish (apparently less fishy). Sula asked that I let her know if I liked it or not. While I thought the taste was a little different (maybe not as spicy or “fishy”), I still loved it and will be ordering it again.“

“Found this place on google when searching for banh cuon in Ottawa. This place did not disappoint. The banh cuon was delicious. My girlfriend and i got pho, a vermicelli bowl, banh cuon and spring rolls. All of it was so good. The coconut shake was really good as well. We will definitely be back again.“

“Fantastic food, very pleasant and helpful staff. All round great experience. The menu was full of great stuff and it was hard to pick something as we call could have chosen anything. Super helpful with wine choices too. We were a group of 5 and it was great. Definitely recommend“

“Went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. A very delicious widespread of food! We were not disappointed. Amazing customer service, cute drinks, and yummy food. What more could we ask for?! One of our favourites was their unique dinner for two, fried chicken pizza and salad! Very filling, a good contrast, and not greasy! We will definitely be back!“

“Great vegetarian and vegan food“

“Great time overall, we had the fish tacos and pizza, let me just say the pizza was WAYYYY better than I anticipated like one of the best pizzas I’ve had in the city??? Idk how that happened. Their lava cake was moist and hot- amazing too tbh. For the amount of tables and seats in the place, it gets so full and the number of workers is so low for the amount of customers it gets rly hectic. Ur servers are great at explaining the games, and just being there if u need them- there’s just not enough of them on a busy friday night!“

“Great place great food and nice service 🍲😊❤️“

“Don't sleep on their doughnuts! There are some great doughnut choices in Ottawa but my favourite ones are the ones they sell here, at their storefront. They have lots of options with many yeast-style, and I find alongside the regular flavours, they change it up depending on the season.“

“Been coming here since I was a kid. Whether you come every week or skip a year or five, the familiar faces always welcoming you back. This makes Louis the best restaurant and the best pizza in Ottawa. Thank you for making it feel like home. Meat lovers, fries and the best gravy in Town.“

“Probably the best Mexican food in town!“

“Highly recommend! I was hesitant at first because I had no idea what the majority of menu items were. I was completely blown away. I am a very picky person, but the menu and how the food was explained in full detail, no matter the question by our incredible waitress was the first sign this is the place to be! A huge thank you to the waitress especially, the staff as a whole and a huge high-five to the chefs for clearly putting your all in to every single menu item. I was fortunate enough to run in to one of the owners and give my nothing short of positive feedback. He was so grateful and humble. Keep it up all! Would recommend to anyone. Will be back!“

“Best service good quality“

“A truly special place, Best indian food in ottawa. Prepared and served with love. It is rare to feel so good after eating that much food! You can eat this food daily.“

“The Manx pub is a great place. Not very big, lots of atmosphere. Food is great, large portions and reasonably priced 😁 *****“

“Visited Montana's 13th November 2022 with a group of 7 other people. The atmosphere was good, enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and conversation, followed by our server taking our meal order. She was very efficient and ensured all our needs were met. The order took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, the food was just warm. We explained to the server who was apologetic, the food was heated to our satisfaction, and enjoyed by all. We were visited by the Manager In order to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, following the issue we had experienced. She very kindly told us she was giving us a reduction on the total price as a sign of goodwill, and also provided free dessert for the group. I would say that was an excellent show of hospitality on the part of Montana's, and we will definitely be arranging future visits.“

“Amazing food at good prices! Makes the drive downtown worth it.“

“WOW great food, great atmosphere and most of all our server Kady was phenomenal! Very respectful, kind, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. Would definitely recommend this location in Ottawa and ask for Kady!!! 💕 🍹🍸“

“Had a fabulous lunch there while visiting family in Ottawa from Nova Scotia over the holidays. I was wearing a Green Bay Packers hoodie as I do, being a fan and shareholder. One of the two guys serving and running the bar gave me a thumbs up and said they were big Packers fan. The food and service was outstanding, and when the bill was presented to our friend as he requested, he was informed that they weren't going to charge for the coffees for the Packers fans, lol. Simply awesome - highly recommended whether you are a Green Bay Packers fan or not :)“

“We received a gift card from a family member for $100 USD as a Christmas Present and were excited about enjoying a meal at this restaurant. The gift card was purchased directly from Joey's, not a 3rd party. We went and everything initially about the restaurant was very enjoyable. The food was very good, the service was attentive and we enjoyed our experience until the cheque arrived. When we we presented the gift card (electronically) our server went to speak with a ⁶manager and then returned to inform us that the $100 USD would be honoured in Canadian dollars. $100 USD is worth $144.50 Canadian dollars according to google when checked today. We paid the bill and tipped the service team 22% and left after effectively having $44.50 taken from us and our family member in what felt like to us, theft by conversion. The manager in question did not come to follow up after our expressing our disappointment JOEY's is already a very expensive restaurant. Further, the gift card information indicates that Joey's has US based restaurants. I'm quite sure that Canadian dollar gift cards are not accepted at par in the US. This ruined for us, what was otherwise a positive experience, through what felt like to us, an act of corporate greed and impersonal profiteering. After this experience we will not be back and sadly, I cannot recommend JOEY's as a place for anyone else to dine at. Any company that sells a gift card directly and then fails to deliver full value is patently dishonest, in my opinion.“

Basil and family - you never disappoint! A great place to celebrate my last birthday of my 40’s (shhh, I kept that quiet). Cheers to you all! ❤️🥂“

“Absolutely exceptional! I tried the Bank Mushroom pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. I’ve lived in Ottawa for over 10 years, and I can honestly say I’ve never had pizza this good here. Everything was perfect — the sourdough crust, the fresh ingredients, the flavours, and the balance of every topping. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into each pizza. Definitely one of the best pizza experiences I’ve had. Highly recommended! 🍕🔥“

“Excellent food and friendly service. Thanks for making our trip to Ottawa that much more enjoyable!“

“Awesome breakfast. Best in Ottawa“

“My husband and I were in search of a quick dinner on our way to a soccer game when we stumbled upon Shinka Sushi Bar. Little did we know we were in for an exclusive sushi experience in the dining room. The staff were very accommodating to ensure we could get our food in good time so we could get to the game on time. Our rolls, tempura and gyoza were exceptional, and we loved the atmosphere. My only regret is that we didn't have enough time to do this place justice. We'll be back the next time we're in Ottawa!“

“Had the best time hosting our group party here! The vegan and glutenfree options were fantastic! 🍲“

It was my first time at this restaurant and judging by the service and the food, I will definitely be eating there again.“

“Love hitting Koichi on a rainy day or in the colder months. We ordered the vegetarian shoyu broth with tofu and egg noodles, and the curry chicken broth with chicken cutlets. Both delicious - and enough for two meals if you wish 🌟. Service is friendly and efficient. Arigatō 🙇‍♂“

If you are craving for wanton soup and dumplings in peanut sauce.

This place is must a try.

It's a bit crowded when we visited last January.

Friendly staff and good food.
