Ottawa has its local legends, and one of them is Golden Palace’s egg rolls. Hand made, fresh, crispy, open ended, packed with flavour, and served with golden plum sauce. These rolls have been an Ottawa favourite since the restaurant first opened in 1960.
What started as a simple weekend treat on Carling Avenue has quietly turned into a Canada wide obsession. Fans ship them home, line up for special sales, and even share memories online. The rolls have shown up in some unexpected places, too: they’ve been used to fill the Stanley Cup during celebrations and are now a staple in the lounge at the Canadian Tire Centre during Ottawa Senators games.
It’s easy to see why they’ve captured hearts. Whether it’s nostalgia, a perfect crunch, or just the pure joy of a simple snack done right, Golden Palace’s egg rolls are more than food, they’re an Ottawa tradition you can hold in your hand.
From family dinners to road trips, to seeing them in the buffet at Sens games, these egg rolls prove that sometimes, the simplest things travel the farthest and leave the biggest mark.
