Sacred Garden

The Sacred Garden is among my top five favourite sit down restaurants in Ottawa. This may not ring true to everyone, but if you’re a vegetarian, this place is marvelous. Everything on the menu is not only vegetarian, but the meat, chicken or seafood that’s normally found in the Thai dishes is replaced with extremely authentic faux meat. Even the «shrimp» look and taste alarmingly similar to real shrimp. I’m the type of vegetarian that still craves the tastes of my omnivore days, so if you’re looking for a meat flash from the past, I’d recommend this establishment.
For non-​vegetarians, the food is still worth the trip. I usually get one of their specials or if I’m looking for a dependable favourite, their Pad Thai is wonderful. The staff is also very friendly and always willing to offer suggestions.
It’s best to make a reservation to be safe because this place can get packed.
