50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ottawa

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

“Lovely space in the golden triangle. Menu was really interesting and is seasonal i think. There is no a/c , but there was plenty of fans and a bit of a breeze going, the cold beer and glass of chilled white wine really helped. Service was lovely.“

“We loved our dinner here tonight!! The place is super cute and cozy. I love that it’s small but does not feel crammed. The staff is so friendly and it feels like you’ve known them for a long time!
We shared the tartare with fries, then we got the puttanesca pasta and the pork chops, which were all delicious, but the fried (if I remember from the menu) bread pudding with raspberries and chocolate was just mind blowing. I need to go back and order 10 of those. We will certainly come back!! :)“

“Went to Citizen because my sister said that she had been there and she was excited to share her experience with us. It was also a birthday celebration. We were warmly greeted when we walked in and were seated in no time.(We had made reservations earlier) The menu was simple but offered a wonderful variety of dishes. Two of us had the Piri Piri Chicken and my sister who likes vegetarian foods had the Cauliflower plate. Everything tasted amazing. We didn't do desert because we were very full after dinner and we are not really into desert and no one was in the mood to share one so we decided to skip.“

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

“Excellent food and service.“

“Having had a delicious plant based meal, this is the place to go for 100% vegan and homemade food.

Ideas for your visit
- check out the specials on the wall
- check the ingredients because they have them (if you have allergies)
- have great conversation with those around you

Note: the bathroom is down the hall. Cutlery is real and it cuts well.

I would recommend it.

Dietary restrictions: I asked for the ingredients list and I was able to determine which soup to have based on my dietary needs. Thank you!!“

“I loved my shrimp dish, my husband enjoyed his cod fish. One of my sons has the chicken and he liked the spice level he chose. My other son ordered the duck which he liked but there were slivers in it. The desserts were amazing. I really like your new restaurant ❤️.“

*** Not a dan of the mixed bathroom if the urinals are all open and stalls are not from floor to bottom. Felt unsafe and the dudes with us felt weird about it too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible yes.
Not the bathrooms though.“

“Great service and great brunch experience!“

“Had a good time trying pizza nerds after hearing a lot about it from friends. We were 3 people and shared 2 pizzas - each of us had 4 slices which was optimal. Arlington - donair was delicious and I highly recommend! Argyle - steak was alright, we changed from the tomato sauce base to white sauce which they were able to accommodate. Their donair and chili garlic dips are a must try! I suggest dining in as it’s best when fresh out of the oven.“

“The verdict: Great pub feel. Dim lights and people of all sorts and classes out to eat a great pub style meal. Food portion meets the price.food came hot and was definitely full of flavor! Staff was on point and very friendly... So The Manx, you get a 9!“

“I discovered this restaurant about 3 months ago and since then, im addicted to it! This place has amazing good food. The Bun Bo Hue "spicy", lemongrass soup is my favourite. I eat it at least 2-3 time per month. It is sooooo flavourful!!! Then, I've tried Bun Cha for the first time yesterday and I fell in love with this plate too. So fresh, so flavourful. I can't wait to discover more of their food. And, the service is amazing, employees are super nice. Love this place“

“Great food and the owner is always very nice.“

“Charming outdoor seating, friendly staff and eclectic menu.“

“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 staff and the food is fantastic! A must!“

“Great vegetarian and vegan food“

“量大味道又超级好，值得推荐“

“Bar Lupulus continues to be the best place in Ottawa (and one of the top places in the country, for that matter) to get rotating craft beer and amazing rotating selection of cocktails and wines. The food is not "pub food" it's high end and eclectic which makes the experience all the more amazing. The service is world class and the staff there have been there many years and know the menus inside out and upside down and never let us down with a suggestion. Over the last year they've started to host "tap takeovers" from top brewers during limited weekends and have fun with the menu offering more traditional style pub food (but elevated).“

“Oh My Grill is a great spot for a relaxed lunch. The food portions are generous, and both the shawarma and poutine were tasty. It's a perfect place to enjoy a hearty meal in a laid-back setting!

Parking: Oh My Grill offers limited customer-only parking, so it can take a bit longer to find a spot. If you don't mind paying, there's convenient paid parking right next to the building, making it easy to access the restaurant.“

“Cory was wonderful and accommodating to our party of 6. Came in on a Friday and gave solid service and had answers ready.

Kid-friendliness: Treated the child with us like anyone else, giving her a feeling of independence.“

“I’ve had pretty much all the pho in Chinatown and this pho is better than all of them. Doesn’t taste like it’s full of filler. Not overly salty. Generous and balanced portions of noodles, meat and broth. Most of all it tastes fresh and like the broth is clean. Def recommend!“

“Had a night impromptu dinner and had a nice experience. Our server Arabella was super nice and very helpful helping me navigate the payment method as we had a gift card that evening. And must say the burgers are the best ad with 1.99 upgrades will keep us coming back! Great job!!“

“Love coming here on a Wednesday for wine down. Unfortunately they’ve taken that away which is a huge bummer. David was great and so was the manager Serena! Thank you for adding to the experience despite the wine down disappointment. May have to start chasing wine down elsewhere.“

“Great service. Food was excellent“

“delicious food! and great service. We got several appetizers and different katsu dishes and everything was great; super fresh tasting food and really good flavour. Only thing I'll say is the quantity/dish sizes are pretty small for the prices, but overall will come back for sure!“

“I went to Miss Molly's for the first time with my wife this weekend. the food was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable. These people definitely take pride in their food and their service! We have found a fantastic new (to us) diner. We love this place!!“

“Reasonable price. The portion is smaller than other places, which is more suitable for Asians in general.
The owners are very hospitable.
Free candies here are a must after having your meals.
Banh canh cua gio heo is tasty but a bit oily from the fried onions.“

“I want to thank the whole family of the restaurant, kind and responsive. They helped me in a difficult moment of my life. They provided assistance. I am very grateful to Catherine Ronald Marilyn for their kind hearts and decency. Also the large team of workers for their support and delicious food ❤️❤️❤️Sincerely, Natalia.“

“Probably one of the best patios downtown.
The food is very good, from their chicken wings to their burgers which are not greasy, to the delicious poutine and fantastic salmon, you can't go wrong here.
There is a large selection of beers and mixed to choose from which are not available at other pubs.
The one huge plus was the service we received. Valerie our server was so pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and excellent in every way.
She watched over us to make sure everything was to our liking and provided us with recommendations that proved to be perfect.
The service, patio, and food make for a great experience.“

“Amazing fresh noodles, quick service for those starving or in a hurry. I love how they make the noodles fresh. Tried the egg rolls as well, usually I add a lot of plum sauce to them, these were fantastic as is and crispy exterior with soft meat and cabbage on the inside. My first time here, will be back.“

“The food is amongst the best I have had and the staff are really good and friendly on a cold night I was given tea while I waited and was not charged for it because I am a frequent customer to the point that they know my order.

Vegetarian options: Very good

Dietary restrictions: Understanding and accommodating“

“We had a wonderful lunch here today. The service was excellent, very fast and responsive. The lunch special (fried spring rolls, pho, can of soda) was a very good deal. The fried spring rolls were very hot and fresh and tasted wonderful. The pho (one of us had beef and chicken, the other just beef) was delicious with loads of meat and noodles, plus bountiful sprouts, Thai basil, and limes.“

“Their scones were really good! We tried different favours like orange and cranberry, lemon and popperseeds, vanilla and cream, cheddar and scone of the month -peach crumble. They were all so yummy!

We also tried the "salmon sconewitch" and it was a refreshing experience!

Staff was friendly and helpful and we will definitely recommend this store to our families and friends.“

“Lovely Vietnamese restaurant with friendly staff and quick service. I got the rice dish with 3 choices of toppings, beef, chicken, and egg quiche. Usually this is a fixed dish at Vietnamese restaurant but here you can select the toppings you want, from 2-4 toppings out of a list.

The food was really good, chicken and beef was tender and flavorful. The egg quiche was soft but i felt there was not a lot of meat in it, lots of noodles though. The portion was really big and the dish was priced reasonably

Vegetarian options: They have lots of vegetarian options

Parking: Street parking, not sure how many available

Kid-friendliness: Has chair for kid

Wheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible“

“Excellent food and vibe. Perfect date night for me and my wife!“
