A Little Bit of Everything
Strolling through Ottawa’s colourful and aromatic Chinatown district can certainly leave you more than a little hungry. But, how can one possibly choose between the likes of Thai, Vietnamese, Cantonese and more, especially when they’re all just steps away. It’s easy, don’t choose at all. Just pop into Mekong, where they specialize in a variety of Asian cuisines sure to satisfy all your taste buds.

Airy Atmosphere
The intimate dining room can seat 50 people in its two storey loft interior. Take a seat on one of the long benches and relax while waiting for your food. When the weather permits, dine outside on the sunny patio and keep an eye on the bustling streets and stores while you eat.

Dinner or Lunch
If you stop by for dinner be sure to try their rice paper shrimp rolls, and ask about their daily specials before deciding on any of the items on the menu. For lunch, try one of their rice or noodle soup dishes with a side of spring rolls. No matter when you go, take a look at their wine list to find the perfect complement to whatever dish you choose. This is a busy spot, so make sure to reserve your seats. Call, or take advantage of their online reservations, just point and click to make sure there’s always room for you.
