50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ottawa

“On my first trip to Ottawa, I was happy to find a vegetarian place with vegan options here. I tried the Indian platter and was amazed by the curries and fresh salad. I liked the portions too! Would love to come back again for their other dishes.“

“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.“

“I am absolutely delighted! Pho Bac is unequivocally the finest and most authentic Oriental Cuisine available in Ottawa. Tucked away, it is a hidden treasure that one truly needs to experience firsthand to fully appreciate the centuries of culinary expertise that have been lovingly passed down. The staff is truly exceptional, ensuring you are wonderfully cared for from the moment you arrive until your departure.

We had the pleasure of enjoying the most flavorful Chicken Pad Thai and the Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai we've ever had. Today the chef suggested we also try her specialty Pho Bac Special Pork and Shrimp spring rolls, which were absolutely mind-blowing; the flavor combination was unlike anything I've had before. When I said I could have died and gone to heaven, I was serious!

I'll be back next week!“

“Absolutely delicious inventive food, lovely staff and an intimate romantic atmosphere. Endless drink menu with plenty of unique options, all the food was so fresh and had some different flavours you don’t always see and prices are pretty fair for the quality and service. Get the focaccia with brown butter for sure and then honestly you can’t go wrong with anything that sounds good to you! We’ll be back for another date night for sure!“

“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.“

“Best service good quality“

“Drinks were more expensive than I expected, but good. Me and my friends were there for only about 3-4 hours but we felt like we were being rushed out towards the end, despite paying and still actively using board games. It wasn’t like we were hogging a table and just chatting.“

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

“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!“

“Hungry Human menu item are delicious and very filling. Easily splitable and you pick two sides. I skipped breakfast and had the item for lunch. I will be full till 6:00 pm at least. Very good.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Truly authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Have tried many dishes, and each one did not disappoint. The staff are amazing and friendly. I highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“I love their spring roll and in my honest opinion, it is the best I have ever tasted before. Everybody should try. The ingredients are fresh and there is no greasy after taste. Their spring roll is amazing!!!!!!“

“As always, a fabulous experience from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. Love supporting this family run business that has been a fixture in my hometown for over 30 years. 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! ❤️🥂“

“The service was top-notch, and the fries were incredibly tasty. I want to extend my gratitude to Lou Jr. for his thoughtful gesture of freshly cooked fries and hot dog. I'm absolutely planning on returning for more! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Probably the best Mexican food in town!“

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

“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! 🍕🔥“

“Visiting Ottawa from England and just wanted a quick snack on a Monday night. This place was near, popped in ordered a Shwarma and got to say one of the best I've had. Very tasty and lucky the people of Ottawa. If you haven't tried get down there!“

“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 :)“

Her incredible attention to detail and heartfelt communication created an atmosphere that felt special beyond words.

Our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and I can't wait to come back again soon to relive that magic.“

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

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.

“service incroyablement chaleureux gluten free offert & qualité prix impressionnant 👌 avis d'une québécoise un peu perdu parmis tout les restaurants à Ottawa 🥰“

“Food was great, and everyone was happy with their orders.

Just the restaurant was very cold inside, and we had to move to a corner that was a little more protected from the cold AC. Also, I’m not sure why, but there were quite a few flies around, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the food.“

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

“Food was absolutely amazing. Best Pho I’ve ever had. I have had experiences living in Montreal, New York City, and now Ottawa. This place serves the best Pho out of all. The broth is just so amazing. The staff are super nice. I would highly suggest the Vietnamese Ice Coffee as well!“

“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!“
