Monika FuchsJanuary 8, 2012The tasting menu was the best foodI had during my last stay in Ottawa. I also enjoyed the nice atmosphere in the restaurant and the great service. Perfect place for a perfect evening out.
Geoff TrimpolFebruary 5, 2014Awesome vegetarian resto. Their Tapas plate is yummy. The marinated dehydrated kale chips were almost as good as the apple butter tofu...
Caroline VermeeschSeptember 29, 2014I had the gnocchi with lemon and the dessert sampler. Very delicious, but i found the portion a bit on the small Side.
Brian CarrollDecember 16, 2010The tasting menu and the wine pairings are an adventure. You don't have to order the tasting menu in advance, but DO MAKE RESERVATIONS! Silver medal kitchen with superb (vegan) fare.
Metro NewsApril 8, 2010Enlighten yourself with a vegan but flavourful meal. Try apple miso tofu skewers and the crunchy mushrooms. Zen even has true vegan wines made without animal-derived filtering ingredients. Read more
Awesome service and food. Great flexibility for dietary restrictions without compromising the quality.
Ehma JohnstonOctober 26, 2013Gnocchi and Thai curry is awesome - make sure you order the tapas if you're sharing :)
Jason LawrenceApril 20, 2013Tasting menu was a treat. Hit the extra step and get the wine pairing. Delicious.
Jeff @ moreOttawaHomes.comOctober 27, 2012Great spot for lunch as well, but its only open on Thursday and Friday during the week.
The Country VeganJuly 29, 2013This place is unbelievable! You must do the blind menu with the wine pairing.
Anita MacApril 3, 2013Food was amazing. Spoke to chef...mouth watering to try tasting menu. Next time.
Lauren SimmonsMarch 18, 2013Sure, it's vegan, and the brunch is hearty, but the service is pretty lax.
