Pho Near Vanier Ottawa — Vietnam Palace Restaurant

Vanier is one of Ottawa’s most culturally diverse and community-driven neighbourhoods — a place where real food matters and authenticity is valued. If you live near Montreal Road, along the Vanier Parkway, or close to Richelieu Park, you’re in luck: Vietnam Palace Restaurant is just a short ride away at 819 Somerset St W, Ottawa, ON K1R 6R4, and it’s been serving Ottawa’s best Vietnamese pho since 1989.

Vanier Knows Good Food — And So Do We

Vanier’s residents come from all over the world, and that means the neighbourhood knows what authentic cuisine actually tastes like. You can’t fool a Vanier crowd with mediocre food. That’s partly why Vietnam Palace has become so popular with the east-side community — our Vietnamese food is the real deal, and people who know flavour can tell immediately.

Our pho broth alone takes 12+ hours to prepare. We use traditional Vietnamese techniques — roasting bones, charring aromatics, toasting whole spices — that create a depth of flavour you simply can’t achieve quickly. Layer in fresh rice noodles, your choice of beef cuts or chicken, and a basket of fresh Thai basil, lime, bean sprouts, and sliced chili, and you have a bowl that competes with anything you’d find in Ho Chi Minh City.

Quick Access from Vanier and the East End

From Montreal Road in Vanier, Vietnam Palace is accessible by OC Transpo bus or a quick car ride along the 417 West or through downtown. Many Vanier residents come for weekday lunch — it’s a meal that fills you up without weighing you down, and our menu has enough variety to come back multiple times a week without repeating yourself.

Heading out from Vanier Parkway? You can be at our door in under 20 minutes most days. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout to eat near Richelieu Park on a warm evening, we’re here for you.
