The Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ottawa, Canada
"The Green Door is a staple on the Ottawa vegetarian scene, having served high-quality buffet-style food since 1988. The range of dishes on offer varies but is largely based around seasonal availability and the restaurant’s close relationship with its local suppliers. The hot food options often include a variety of vegetable-based curries, noodle dishes, pastas and quiches, with the self-serve style meaning you have the option to try many different cuisines and simply pay according to weight."
"The Old Ottawa East neighbourhood, located a five-minute drive from downtown Ottawa, is home to the beloved Green Door – an Ottawa staple since 1988. Follow your cravings and choose from the many savoury and sweet dishes served in the pay-by-weight buffet, like tofu broccoli stir fry, quiche and avocado salad. Dishes are all labeled to indicate which are organic, vegan, gluten-free, or contain dairy, egg, gluten, wheat, nuts, soy, or sesame."

What more can we ask for?"

"This is an excellent museum to visit if you’re interested in the natural world and visiting this museum should be high on your list of things to do in Ottawa with kids. The handsome heritage building has wings on four floors packed with museum exhibits like dinosaurs, polar bears, birds and other creatures. If you’ve seen the movie “Night At The Museum”, this is the closest museum in Ottawa to the one in the movie."

"Looking for a high-end eatery with Canadian fare at the forefront?. Look no further than Erling’s Variety in the Glebe neighborhood. Depending on the season, this family-run restaurant serves up everything from venison and scallops to blueberries and root vegetables."
"Attracting a young crowd not dissimilar to that found in some of Toronto’s trendiest haunts, The Belmont is a casual bar serving well made drinks and small plates of delicious food.

"Choose the Belmont for a casual, fun Mother’s Day dinner for a fusion menu of pork and shrimp siu mai, tiger prawns, Cornish hen, a cheese and charcuterie board, or opt for a Belmont combo like the Family Dinner with a big salad, lettuce wraps, herbed roast vegetables, shepherd’s pie, and apple crumble."
