50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ottawa

“Risotto. Gnocchi. Lions Mane. Beet tartare. Go.“

“The food and service are always amazing and well worth the price. I enjoy the lighter atmosphere at Citizen, however, the Town dining room has a more intimate setting. Town/Citizen has become a staple in my circle for celebrating important events and milestones!“

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Corner Peach. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable but this does not get in the way of good humour and natural charm. Every staff member we interacted with made the experience that much better and the food was perfectly portioned for a dinner for two. Really impressed with the service, especially navigating a gluten and dairy free menu“

“I went to the standard to enjoy a patio on Canada Day. The Waitresses were all wearing masks and respected physical distancing. our table was sanitized. We drank out of pineapple, which was over the top in a good way. I had fish tacos, which were okay but they were a little bit liquidy. my friend had a chicken burger with just the right amount of crunch. it was the perfect patio and the perfect drink in the perfect food on a perfect day.“

“Everything is delicious. Quick, friendly service too!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“We accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant 2 years ago when we visited Ottawa and we really loved this place for the food and vibes. We went there yesterday again on our Ottawa visit because we wanted food without onion and garlic. Only place in downtown Ottawa where you can get this kind of food is Peace Garden Pushpa who owns this place was kind enough and prepared paninis for us without onion and garlic by modifying the recipe to accomodate our request. If you have such special request please call them a day early. We got the food as take out and enjoyed it on the way back home. If you are looking for great vegan food with home cooked taste, you should visit Peace Garden !!“

“Oooh so delish. Pick your pleasure.“

“I recommend everyone in the world to try this Mandarin restaurant. They are really nice workers especially Bill and Sam Reyes. Thank you for the amazing foods and desserts❤️! hope to come and see you all again 😊🫶🏻 from Us Montreal customers“

“Authentic taste!! Good for people who would like vegetarian food ! Also would love to relish maa ke hath ke swad jaisa food !!!!”””“

“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.“

“My family enjoyed a take-out meal last night from Sula Wok. I would describe it as incredibly tasty, evocative flavours, large portion sizes and generally a fantastic gastronomical delight! The chicken samosas were the best I have had anywhere in Ottawa, in short - awesome. The mango-ginger sauce for the samosas was also exceptional. My entrèe was the Tibetan Fried noodles with tofu. The portion was generous and carefully prepared. The spices were delightful, the vegetables were fresh, plentiful and throughout the meal rather than just placed on top. Every bite was delicious. Thank you Sula Wok for the best take-out meal I have enjoyed in years! I highly recommend this restaurant. It definitely deserves a five star rating.“

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

“Great vegetarian and vegan food“

“Taco 🌮 Tuesdays are a great deal. Chicken or beef, both are delicious. Everything is very fresh. The tortilla soup is epic, it's my favourite. They are easy to find, have ample parking, as well as picnic tables if you want to eat there. Fast, efficient, and the food is made by a man who is as talented as he is kind.“

“Excellent service & food 😍⭐“

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

“Visited while on a trip to Ottawa, so glad we did. Staff are super friendly and accommodating, lots of games to choose from (although we brought our own from a recent purchase at Imaginaire and they charge you less if you bring your own games so, bonus!). We didn't have any food but the cappucino I had was fabulous (and a great portion size). The nerd trivia upstairs on Monday seemed fun, although not our topic (Star Trek not being either of our forte). This is a great place, highly recommended.“

“Best pizza in town, everything is done fresh everyday. They also have the best coconut cream pie. Best staff every, they treat everyone like family compared to those chain restaraunts Support local everyone“

“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.“

“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!!! 💕 🍹🍸“

“fresh ingredients and friendly staff! definitely going back- the whole menu looks delicious!“

“Excellent food, great service and a very cozy atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Bar Lupulus – Elevated Flavours in a Cozy Corner of Wellington West Had a wonderful evening at Bar Lupulus. The meal was creative and full of flavour—each dish offered a unique twist and was beautifully presented. While it's a little on the pricier side, it never felt over the top—well worth it for the quality and experience. The service was excellent: warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about both the food and the impressive drink list. The only downside was that it was a little noisy, especially as the evening went on—something to keep in mind if you're hoping for quiet conversation. Still, the lively atmosphere added to the charm, and we'd absolutely return for another night of bold, delicious food in a stylish, bustling spot.“

“We had the Hawaiian pizza and goat cheese pizza for our first dinner at this restaurant and they were amazing! Delicious light crust and delicious toppings, we thought we would need takeout containers but we were wrong! 😅

The White Russian and Ashton cider were also very yummy. Ashton is a dry cider, quite refreshing!“

“Sansotei Ramen is always a great spot for comforting, delicious ramen. The broth is rich and flavorful, noodles cooked perfectly, and portions are generous. Service is quick and friendly, making it an easy go-to when you’re craving a warm, satisfying bowl.“

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

“The absolute best of the best!!!! The cocktails were delicious, the tartar was out of this world, the bread, the main meal… so very satisfied!“

“Had dinner here last night and it was a great experience! The food was delicious. What really stood out, though, was the customer service from Matthew took excellent care of us. It’s always a pleasure to dine somewhere that values both good food and great service.“

“Walked in for a quick bite not expecting much. Walked out with the only disappointment of not ordering more! The best samosas I’ve ever had. They are a must have. Plus the people are so friendly.“

“Dispute being full and having high ceilings w/ hard surfaces, it wasn't very loud, which is makes enjoying the food much more enjoyable.

The coffee is delicious, it's always such a treat when a restaurant has an actually good cup of coffee.“

“Great service and great brunch experience!“

“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.“

“The food was hot and fresh.
Waitress didn’t bother to bring items she said she would. Specifically requested an orange slice for my grandson, never arrived. Promised me cotton candy at the end of my meal. Never arrived. Went to pay because after 5 minutes of us all standing up and packing up the baby, still has to go inside to pay. That’s when my friend slipped on butter from a a knife that was on the floor, staff reaction was oh. And looked the other way!
Still after standing in front of my waitress ( the one who couldn’t care less about the accident the orange, and the cotton candy. Why would she care about my friend almost breaking her neck on a knife that was sitting on the floor ( I picked up their dirty knife) in between her at the cash and her coworker eating food at the table in between us then whoever the manager or the gentleman that seem to be working that day also said he was gonna go back and get me some cotton candy and never bothered to bring it out. Finally, we just walked away will never be back but hey, the food was good. Yes, I still tipped them. I shouldn’t have, but I did.“

“This quaint little Vietnamese restaurant at the tail end of Chinatown is my go-to place for Vietnamese food.
Lovely atmosphere filled with various species of plants and aquariums.
Don't limit it to just Pho, this place offers other amazing dishes.
Most notable dishes are:
- Hanoi style vermicelli (special)
- Pad Thai
- Satai spicy beef soup
- Porc wraps (appetizer)“

“I was in downtown and wanted to have a really good wonton soup and I saw this restaurant has good reviews so I decided to give it a try. The soup was AMAZING! The restaurant is very clean. You need to order and pay, then your order will come. Mine came after 1 min. The broth is very tasty. You have all the sauces you need in your table. The soup is huge so I couldn’t try any other thing in the menu because I was so full, but I will come back to try more 😋😋😋😋😋 the price was great too 💃🏽 Love it ♥️“

“We have been ordering regularly from Ali at Oh My Grill since we discovered his amazing food! From chicken and filet skewers to gyros to falafel wraps - and the greek salad - OH MY GRILL!!! (OMG!!!) everyone in the family can't stop raving about the freshness and flavours! THANK YOU for making every meal we order from you sooooo very good!

Vegetarian options: Our teen LOVES the falafel wrap and she is soooo picky!“

“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! ❤️🥂“

“This is one of the best restaurants in Ottawa! Very welcoming staff, excellent quality and portions with affordable cost. Add to this the location, availability of parking, and the cozy atmosphere. 10/10“

“量大味道又超级好，值得推荐“

“This family run restaurant is a hidden gem. I have tried many Pad Thais and this restaurant has the best Pad Thai I have ever had. This restaurant is most accommodating in helping my son, who has gluten and soy sensitivities, find things he can eat. I wish they were closer to me because I would frequent their establishment much more often. Definitely a place to go. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Went with my girlfriends in the evening! Had appetizers and main dish. Delicious and served fresh and warm! The Pad Thai and Pho is excellent! Try the deep fried bananas with a drizzle of honey and topped with crushed peanuts!“

“Great food, family business, real nice people that care.

Parking: Sizzling platters a must!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair accessible
Free parking
Excellent soups ie. Hot and sour.“

“Awesome breakfast. Best in Ottawa“

“This was a great experience and delicious food. We visited twice during our family vacation and we were amazed by the quality and amount of food provided. If I lived in Ottawa, I would take the whole family at least 1 a week. Just fo and prove me wrong.“

“Saw this combo pic on the reviews and wanted to give it a taste. It was pretty good. A little odd together. The meat was tender and savoury. The crispy spring roll was very good. Luckily the fish clear sauce saved it as the noodles don’t have any flavour to it so you have to dip them in the sauce to get flavour. I would go back but I’d want to try a different dish.“

“not much sashimi selection but if you like salmon, Kuiadore's is remarkable, fresh, buttery and tastes like salmon. Went there for lunch, had 2 different bowls of ramen, beef rib and Tan Tan, again delicious. Got to back and try the yakitori and the other dishes on the menu. Loved my first try here. Sservice was helpful and cheerful. Everything on point. Plus the decor is kind of cool, in a kitchy, pop, fun style.“
