    The 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.

    Awesome vegetarian resto. Their Tapas plate is yummy. The marinated dehydrated kale chips were almost as good as the apple butter tofu...

    The 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.

    I had the gnocchi with lemon and the dessert sampler. Very delicious, but i found the portion a bit on the small Side.

    Enlighten 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

    Gnocchi and Thai curry is awesome - make sure you order the tapas if you're sharing :)

    Sure, it's vegan, and the brunch is hearty, but the service is pretty lax.

    Save a little room for a chocolate truffle at the end of the meal. Best in town.
