Dining at this Westboro gem is a mixed experience, ranging from heavenly dishes to potential dietary mishaps in a carefree atmosphere. The unique outdoor setup and delicious food make for a pleasant dining experience, although special attention is required for dietary restrictions. This funky spot captures the essence of hippie chic while delighting customers with fresh, creative plates at reasonable prices.

I've been many times and loved every visit. Just a comment on the Korean cauliflower wraps from Jul29/22 crazy amounts of salt, and no lettuce to cut it. Really imbalanced. Etc. A friendly comment. Love your spot. View all feedback.

If you have a specific dietary restriction, be cautious when dining at this restaurant. They do not pay careful attention to preparing food that deviates from their standard menu. During our lunch visit with six people, one member of our group was vegan. We ordered the Curry Bowl assuming the tofu version was vegan, only to discover it contained chicken. Our pleasant lunch turned into a nightmare experience. If it ha... View all feedback.

Before our trip to anywhere, I always look up the most unusual or unique places to eat. When we were visiting Ottawa we were pointed to Bite This, which started as a food truck, turned into a static location, and we're all better for it. Myself and my son popped by while passing through town. Made a special detour to make this happen. As a vegetarian myself, I had to find out about their crispy Korean cauliflower tacos, which had a fantastic peanuty flavour and real crispy bite to it. I wish I had bought more. We would definitely return, load up on tacos and take a deeper dive into the menu. I should also mention how quick and friendly everyone was. We arrived mid afternoon on a July weekday to find a pretty good crowd of locals outside, which is always telling. Definitely recommend. This was probably my favourite thing we had during our entire stay in the capital region.
Delicious sandwiches, second to none. The serving is a little small but it is so tasty. I had the Mongolian beef and my wife had the chicken sandwich with peanut sauce. Both were excellent. The wait was less than 5 minutes. We'll finally return!
Spur of a moment dinner brought us to this great find in Westboro across from The Superstore. Food truck with a lovely outdoor patio type feel with an extended roof for al fresco meal. Beautiful plants, pots, unique outdoorsy picnic tables and benches. Hippy feel with reggae music quietly playing. Extremely tasty food. We had 2 noodle bowls. Both on the special board. The Dan Dan/spicy egg noodle and greens dish with crushed peanuts, tasty pork and bean sprouts. Very saucy and delicious. Did I say filling too? Partner had the Pad Thai and loved it. He felt it wasn't enough food so he ordered a Polish sausage at the end. It came perfectly grilled with cooked onions. He smothered it with gobs of sauerkraut, peppers, relish, mustard. It went down just fine! Don't believe they have a alcohol license but no matter, the drinks looked really good and fit the place. There was NOTHING not to like about this place. It was also not busy...so that was also a bonus (6:30pm Wednesday)
This is a highly recommended quick take-away meal, with seating outdoors. Food is superb and delicious and inexpensive. Tacos and comfort food, ice cream, freshly baked desserts. Easy to take after work. Hours are somewhat limited but when they are open, come on by and try them out. A very pleasant treed, outdoor picnic table look. Staff and great.
I love this place, the staff, food and ambiance make this place really fun. The food is always so fresh and delicious! I love the variety and creativity of the place! Its so great to get such good food at a fab price!

We love this place. When we have out of town guests, we always drop by. They love the food and ambiance. Hard to believe a little place like this can have that but when we visit, we're swept away to another place with the decorations and the staff. We are foodies of a sort as our chef daughter has shown us a whole new world of food and yet we (and her) keep coming back to this place. The great combinations of ingredients just explode in your mouth. Keep it up!!!
Absolutely love this place! Everything on the menu is amazing-Fish tacos are to die for!
Great food, friendly service, and a great patio! Cheers
Best food in ottawa. Quaint outdoor seating area. So many choices and the best cauliflower wings!
Awesome lunch here today. Not far off the Sunday Bike Day on the Parkway. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

The Marrakesh Express sandwich was absolutely delicious! It paired perfectly with the local Kitchesippi 1855 amber ale. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating and has a unique food truck atmosphere in the Westboro area. There are also several vegetarian options on the menu, including dishes made with tofu.
If you have a specific dietary restriction, be cautious when dining at this restaurant. They do not pay careful attention to preparing food that deviates from their standard menu. During our lunch visit with six people, one member of our group was vegan. We ordered the Curry Bowl assuming the tofu version was vegan, only to discover it contained chicken. Our pleasant lunch turned into a nightmare experience. If it had been a nut allergy instead, the consequences could have been fatal. I recommend thoroughly checking your meal before taking a bite at this establishment.
The Bombay Bowl was JUST THE BEST. Rich sauce with perfect spicing on rice with pakora spinach on top. Mmmmmm. Thanks
I absolutely love this little gem of a restaurant/food truck. I've been eating here for years and have always been satisfied with the amazing food and fast service!! Definitely worth a try.
Great food! Everything on the menu is good. A must try for sure
