    Still the best vegan restaurant in Ottawa. It is a busy place, called at 3pm to reserve seats for 7, they already fully booked. Upon our arrival, they managed to arrange our seats promptly. We ordered wholesome hot bowl and peaceful falafel wrap. Everything is delicious as expected.

    Cool 2-level location of this amazing vegan restaurant! Cool minimalist (and comfortable) furniture... beyond-compare customer service! Yay!

    Probably my favourite vegan restaurant in the Ottawa (now West!) area! If you haven't checked it out to try their Korean cauliflower-wings or their take on the kale-Caesar-salad or even their Royale-with-cheese nut burger... well... you're missing out! Fantastic selection of freshly-pressed juices and smoothies, too! You CAN'T be disappointed!

    Amazing food, clean little restaurant. Very busy, we made reservations and it went smoothly. One of the best vegan places around.

This store has a few tables, has beautiful local artwork posted on the walls, offers a 10% discount on your first visit, and uses healthy bases with real fruit. I was also really excited to discover that they had a vegan pea protein powder free of artificial sweeteners, which I could add to my drink. We ordered two drinks and were really happy with what we received. THE DRINKS: Ginger Snap - My fiancé ordered the ginger snap without spinach and he really enjoyed his drink. It featured apples, banana, mango and ginger and it was full of flavour. It was sweet and tart and definitely a must try! Drunken Monkey with spinach: - I ordered the Drunken Monkey with vegan protein powder and spinach. I found my drink lacked a bit of flavour (they scoop the fruit into the cup before blending and a big chunk of fruit created a big air hole, which I think is the reason my drink lacked flavour) but I was really happy with the whole ingredients used and the added protein powder. The service was a little slow but the employee was really nice and I enjoyed looking at the artwork on the walls. Would We Return? Absolutely because I like the clean ingredients used and the ability to add protein to my drink.

    If you are looking for a light and refreshing drink to get then this is the place to go! I love how…read moretheir smoothies are not too sweet. The smoothies are just the perfect level of sweetness. Also, everything is real fruits which I am a fan of. Not to mention, the workers are so friendly and nice.

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Best Coco location ever! I got so…read moremany toppings in my drink and they did not skimp at all. They had to give me a second cup with the rest of my taro slush because the first cup was filled with toppings, lol. The Long Version: Took my mom here and treated her to an epic drink: Large Taro Slush with tapioca pearls, sago, crystal pearls, coconut jelly, grass jelly and tea jelly. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have fresh taro (which is on their menu but was crossed out) or red bean (Coco doesn't carry this topping, which is too bad) because I would have added those too. Haha. The drink came in 2 cups because it was too epic, lol. One with all the toppings and a little bit of the slush and one with the remainder of the slush. We took it back to my parents' house and poured everything into a large bowl and mixed it up and repoured it into the glasses and we ate it with a spoon. My mom shared the drink with my dad and I (I knew she would, so treating her to the epic over the top drink wasn't entirely selfless, haha). It was reminiscent of those Taiwanese desserts. It was so delicious!! Staff were courteous and efficient. The store is very big and clean with lots of seating. They had a little shop inside the store that sells cute little Asian knickknacks like stuffed animals, stationery, keychains, stickers and things like that. This location is in the Kanata Centrum. Lots of free parking. (202)

The 2 of the 4 TV screens where the menu would be were not working. They only had the top drinks and the drink of the day. But once you get to the counter, there is a full list of drinks. Drinks were great and refreshing They didn't have any structure of where to line up so when we got there there was a crowd and we had to ask people if they were in line.

    Update after another visit:…read more I decided to give D Spot another try tonight, hoping for a better experience than my first visit. While the food was much better this time, the service unfortunately still left a lot to be desired. We came as a party of seven. When we walked in, the person at the front desk didn't even look up or acknowledge us. We basically had to wait for him to finish what he was doing before being greeted. What surprised me even more was that more than half the restaurant was empty, yet we were still asked to wait because they were "busy" and couldn't seat us right away. After everyone had arrived, we waited over 15 minutes before anyone came over. We asked to order drinks first, but were told they'd come back to take the whole order instead. They never did. Another server eventually took our order, and one of the drinks was still forgotten. The tables and seats also weren't very clean. There were crumbs and even hair on the seating, so we ended up wiping everything down ourselves. On top of that, there were fruit flies around our table throughout the meal, which was pretty annoying. To give credit where it's due, the food itself was good this time and we had no complaints about what we ordered. Unfortunately, the service and cleanliness still didn't match the quality of the food. Original review (1 year ago): My experience didn't leave the best first impression... To summarize, my rating is mainly for the beautiful decor inside and the comfortable spacious seating. The desserts were average, my request for adding blueberries turned out to be blackberries, and the crepes were surprisingly crispy rather than soft. We arrived about an hour before closing, ordered two crepes, one waffle, two drinks, a hot dog, and poutine. Our server was friendly, but we were surprised she didn't have to write down our order at all. To our disappointment, all desserts were served first, only to find out about an hour later our poutine and hot dog were never entered into the system. When we asked if they were on the way, we were told the machines had already been shut down. (The only things we thoroughly enjoyed were the drinks.) We stopped in for a late-night snack and dessert as I'd been wanting to try this place every time I passed by after the movies, but it turned out to be a bit of a letdown.

    Had fun coming here for the first time! The menu is huge and mostly made of extravagant sweets but…read morethere is one page of dinner food. All of the food we had was really good and the desserts were deliciously sweet without being overly sweet. We only took one picture of our food but we had two meals and two desserts and two drinks.

    The Short Version: Small casual vegetarian restaurant…read moreinside an International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple. Very affordable and food tasted good. The Long Version: I feel like many large urban cities have a restaurant called Govinda's that is inside an International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple (these were called Hare Krishna temples when I was growing up). This one is in Ottawa. I've been to the one in Toronto. And I know there's one in Montreal, although I've never been there. All these restaurants are of the same concept. They serve vegetarian food, it's usually a buffet, and the prices are very affordable. At this Govinda's the all you can eat buffet is $14 or $12 if you're a student (need to show student card) or a senior (65 or over, I'm assuming if you look young for your age they might ask for ID, lol). The takeout price is $10 and you get a tray with a little bit of everything. I got the take out tray. The takeout tray contained white basmati rice, pasta salad, green salad, daal, a kidney bean curry, some stewed cabbage, and a piece of banana bread. It was quite a lot of food for just $10. And what I really liked about it is that the curries were not oily at all. I find a lot of curries way too oily but these ones were great. The lentil curry (daal) and the bean curry were very flavourful. The stewed cabbage was good too. The green salad had romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tiny pieces of bell pepper. It came with a creamy salad dressing. A bit too much salad dressing for my liking, but it wasn't too soggy and the dressing wasn't too oily. The pasta salad had some tofu crumble in it. It was okay but had a strange medicinal taste to it. The best part was the banana bread. It was a little crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Very delicious and not greasy at all. The dining room is small and feels like you're at a friend's house in the basement. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Some people are hesitant to go to these restaurants as they think those belonging to the temple may try to "convert" them. This has never happened to me neither in Ottawa or in Toronto. Be advised that you must remove your shoes and leave them in the boot trays in the foyer before entering the restaurant or the rest of the temple. So don't wear your Louboutins or Jimmy Choos, LOL. And make sure you wear matching socks with no holes in them. Haha. This location is on a residential street and in the University of Ottawa area. All other customers during my visit were students. I feel this place is a hidden gem. It serves healthy, delicious and inexpensive vegetarian food, so I'm a huge fan. Street parking only. Review #52 (2026)

    I'm not normally into vegetarian food, but this is a great spot to go as the weather gets cooler if…read moreyou're around uOttawa campus trying to eat on a budget. This is hearty food with plenty of lentils, pasta, rice, chickpea salad and delicious curries like their paneer curry. There was also some delicious banana bread on the side for dessert. Next time, I'm going to get their zucchini pakoras. Remember to take off your shoes once you get inside. The lady is very nice. I believe it used to be buffet (get your own) style but now she portions things out for you. You will be full for the entire day for $15.
