Old Ottawa South’s Vietnamese Favourite
The residents of Old Ottawa South have discerning taste. They know their neighbourhood, they support local, and they seek out quality. Vietnam Palace ticks every box: independently owned, family-run, and consistently excellent. Our 671 Google reviews and 4.3-star rating speak for themselves — but more importantly, so does the food.
Just a quick drive north up Bank Street to Somerset, or a relaxing OC Transpo ride, and you’re in our dining room with a bowl of pho steaming in front of you. It’s the kind of meal that makes the trip feel worth it every single time.
Pho After a Canal Walk
There’s something perfectly fitting about a slow-simmered bowl of pho after a long walk along the Rideau Canal path. The broth warms you from inside out, the fresh herbs brighten the bowl, and the tender beef melts into the noodles. It’s restorative in the truest sense.
Our pho options range from the simple (Pho Ga — chicken) to the indulgent (Pho Dac Biet — the house special with all the cuts). All broths are made fresh daily, simmered for hours, and served at the perfect temperature.
