The most amazing food that I ever had. The texture and look fantastic. Fabulous ambiance.

Wow! What a GEM! This place is my absolute favourite vegan / vegetarian restaurant in ottawa. The venue is a jungle-like setting, flourishing with abundant exotic plants and trees all year round, which creates a deeply recharging and relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious. There hasn't been one menu item I didn't absolutely love. The glory bowl is one of my personal faves. Their sauces are also delectable :) Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a bit hard to find because it's inside a commercial building. Just behind king eddy's diner. But that's what makes it so special and quiet. The women who work there are always so peaceful and radiant. They tie the whole thing together. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

A hidden gem found in the time square building with amazing food. The restaurant is so inviting with all their beautiful plants surrounding you (it doesn’t even feel like you’re in Ottawa, let alone an atrium in a mall!) The menu is geared towards being vegetarian and vegan friendly but don’t let that scare you away!! The food has got to be one of the best foods I’ve had in a while. Everything was tasty, delicious, and hearty. The staff were very warm and welcoming too which makes so much more memorable. Looking forward to coming back here soon!

Absolutely blown away by the sheer beauty of this delightful restaurant and the pleasant customer service by Deva Krupa and Pushparani! Thank you for reminding me of the elegance of my Indian roots! To the person that's reading this, if you are or ever are in Ottawa, please do visit @peacegardenottawa located in the Byward Market area, which is a wholesome vegetarian treat for your body and soul! @ Peace-Garden

The address is Clarence Street, but it's actually *inside* that building, with a second entrance off Murray Street. A small sandwich-board sign may be outside. The eatery sits in the atrium/lobby of the office building, complete with greenery and light streaming in from above. The menu has many vegan or veganizable items, including a soup of the day. Some gluten-free items. Samosas, bowl meals, salads, etc. I enjoyed the Glory Bowl. Dessert squares and other treats. Chilled and frozen items to take away. It was very busy at 1 pm on a summer Thursday, and it’s best to not be in a hurry. It’s a small kitchen and just two staff. It's run by the Sri Chinmoy organization, and there is literature available about meditation. Also for sale are woven baskets, cards, etc.

Let me start by saying that I am not vegetarian, and yet I have to admit that the food was absolutely delicious! The glory bowl was outstanding and the berry smoothie great. Nice ambience and great service.

The ambience and the food, touches your soul! the best vegetarian food you can have in a peaceful setting. Thali platter and mango lassi must try!

Peace Garden is nestled inside a quiet shopping center (with air conditioning!) surrounded by plants and unique seating arrangements. The food was phenomenal!!! The glory bowl was some of the best vegetarian food we’ve ever had. It was mind blowing. Definitely recommend for vegetarians looking for something different.

Excellent little hole in the wall spot... warm, homey, beautiful plants, excellent food !!!! So happy we tried while visiting Ottawa. 👍👍👍👍👍

What a wonderful place with excellent food and the most accommodating team!! Loved 🥰 everything so much! Highly recommend it ❤️🙏🏼

Five million birds of peace Five million thoughts of hope Five stars for the food (sweet potato burger had such a good texture) and chai (richly spicy and warm on a cold day) Five stars for the serene atmosphere of what may be Canada's most devoted Sri Chinmoy fan club, who I didn't know existed until today. Five stars for the fun fact that apparently Sri Chinmoy gave John McLaughlin the name Mahavishnu and then that guy went on to make some of the greatest jazz fusion works of all time with Mahavishnu Orchestra. TIL!

OMG a must visit! Authentic vegetarian food made with so much love and care and I can't say enough good things. The veggie burger and the bowls are divine!! I promise to myself to have at least one meal here every time I am in Ottawa.

I had the sweet potato burger & cream of tomato soup and my partner had the vegetarian lasagna. Our meals were filling and full of flavour. The smoothies were delicious as well.

I like this spot. They have achieved a beautiful grove atmosphere within an otherwise dull office building. They have nice combo deals like soup and pie or daal and potato methi + their chutney is to diiiieeee for. Their soups are delicious as well, nicely packaged too in a coffee cup. Speaking of coffee, that is nice too. Service is always very pleasant, and friendly, and I like that they are operating for a religious mission, rather than simply for profit. I only wish that they would use higher quality oils, like coconut or olive or ghee/butter.

I will definitely eat here again on my next visit to Ottawa. Thank you. Everything was delicious even my kids aged 5&8 very much enjoyed their meal!

It really is peaceful to be here. The service is calm and friendly. The food is delicious. We liked the vegan Curry and the chocolate Banana Cake!

I got the honey and ginger lemonade and it was fantastic. My stomach wasn’t feeling good and this is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect amount of fresh ginger and honey. Staff were kind and friendly :) Building is under renovation but it’s nice and air conditioned in there.

We ordered vegan samosa platter, it was average taste, good place for vegans.!!

The garden itself was under construction when I was there (12. October 2023) but they still had their restaurant open. Loved the dressing of the salad 😍

Don’t miss this hidden peaceful garden, believe me, it’s not just a name, it’s peace and health. The food is good, close to Indian texture. I tried Curry of the day this time.

Such a special place! Great food to accommodate any dietary needs. I especially recommend the soups, the chocolate mousse cake and the hot carob honey drink or the cold ginger blast drink. They have fresh juices and smoothies made on the spot, daily specials and lots of vegan and gluten-free treats. The staff and owner are so amazing! They have an extensive collection of spiritual literature that you can look at while you eat so you can feed the body and the soul. I always feel good after a visit to the Peace Garden.

Dining under a canopy of greenery; The Peace Garden offers the most delicious vegetarian, vegan gluten-free options in ottawa. I guarantee you will utter the name of a certain deity while you enjoy the oh so delicious Glory Bowl. This was only my first visit and I enjoyed it with the best slice of vegan gluten-free chocolate cake I've ever eaten. Will definitely return again and recommend this restaurant to you as well. OMG enjoy.

Beautiful ambiance and personable service…gracefully blended the ethic Indian cuisine with western touch ❤️ Simply loved it

I am in love with this place. Great food, amazing ambiance and excellent service. If you are a vegan/vegetarian and in Ottawa.. you have to be here. I enjoyed the potato burger with salad which was delicious.. I just loved the service.. they are extremely nice and humble. Next time when I am in Ottawa I am definitely stopping by.

This was my 2nd luncheon at the Peace Garden & both times were absolutely delicious. Their food is so fresh & made with great care. Can't wait to return.

Very beautiful place, the staff is extremely nice. The food was amazing. Really fresh, the curry was at least as good as in India. The deserts were good, banana bread being my personal favourite. I would 10/10 recommend going there and dine-in because it is super quiet as you sit on the patio, which is inside, with lots of plants around. Truly a hidden gem

Amazing food, zen ambiance and smiling hospitality :-) This is one of the most amazing places to try out. Not sure if this is a hidden gem! Will definitely be returning back!

The vibe of this place is very peaceful and outdoorsy even though its indoor! Really loved the setting, the delicious and nutritious food, and the owner gave us such a good service! I recommend the mango nectar smoothie 😉

Absolutely delicious food and service....Must stop for vegetarians and vegans. We will for sure visit this place if we come back to Ottawa.

They serve Sattvic food. Food is very nice and tasty.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant hidden away in Byward market. I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination but we really enjoyed it.

Food is delicious! First time having a sweet potato burger, loved it. The owner is the sweetest lady and the atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

This place is tucked away in the Byward Market and once you happen upon it, it's like a tranquil paradise in the middle of a busting downtown core. The food is vegetarian, fresh, delicious, and has good variety. The owner is really nice. They also have art, inspirational cards you can take for free, and lots of plants around the seating area which makes it feel like you're in the middle of a jungle or forest. It's a very relaxing experience and the food lives up to expectation every time. Highly recommend coming here for lunch next time you're in the market.
