Canadian Restaurants near Kanata, ON

“I came here today with my family and I honestly couldn’t believe Matt’s service…it was absolutely fantastic!!! I don’t usually go out because I really don’t like people but Matt might have just changed my mind on that. At least for Montanas. I can now say montanas will be our go to night out place, and hopefully we always get Matt. I’m sure everyone else is great tooo but Matt is definitely our pick.“

“10/10 experience. If you have opportunities to be served by Winter then consider yourself lucky.

She is so knowledgeable about the menu and she was without a doubt one of the best servers I have met in a long time. Outgoing personality, joyful and friendly.

It’s been a long time since my husband and I went out to enjoy ourselves and she added to our overall experience.

We will back. Hopefully we can sit in Winters section again 😊“

“This was our second visit in 2 weeks. On both occasions our waitress was amazing. As a former manager and operating partner of both Kelsey's and Montana's I have to say that listening to our waitress talk with her tables, and in particular the professional approach to a food allergy at our neighbouring table was note worthy. She handled it with so much knowledge and care. I hope that home office appreciates the level of service that exists in those 4 walls.“

“Kind service, great pool, great golf course“

“I was mostly impressed with the atmosphere and interior look of this restaurant, also I have to mention my server was amazing ... she overheard me mention to my date that my birthday was just 2 days ago ... next thing I saw was a beautiful slice of cake coming right at me. I would definitely go back to this location.“

“Awesome food, great atmosphere“

“A beautiful dining space in the Clubhouse and on the patio overlooking the golf course! Great food and service! We had a group of 20 people and the food was quickly prepared and, by all accounts, delicious! I had the Mediterranean salad ... yummy! They have specials for happy hour, 3 to 5 pm“

“AMAZING WEDDING CATERING! We are just back from our honeymoon in Nassau, and as we organize our new lives as Mr and Mrs, we can't stop talking about what the Royals Restaurant did at our wedding. That evening, the chatter was surely talking about the food. And guests are still talking about it. The meals were outstanding. The Pesto Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers & Goat Cheese, the Roasted Sirloin with Yorkshire Pudding, the hors d'oeuvres, just to recap a few.... were thoroughly enjoyed. With Chef Derrick carving the beef, he definitely finished off the buffet line in style. Plates were full, and then enjoyed by each guest. The flavours were simply succulent. But it was not just about the food. Melissa and Lindsay were at the venue far before the guests arrived. The place settings were precisely arranged ensuring that everything was lined up. The stemware and cutlery were perfect. Their management of the setup was amazing. The staff supported all the guests so professionally. A big thank you to Melanie, for operating the bar with class. To all the staff in the background, our sincere thank you as well. From the first minute that the catering trailer showed up, to the last minute when Melissa & Lindsay left at 1:00am... we were thrilled that the Royals Restaurant were a part of our wedding day. Many thanks to you!“

“Absolutely amazing experience. Everything tasted great and the great service matched the food. Chef Blackie made us feel like royalty but he had the same candour with every other table so I guess it's just his way. We did the tasting menu. Can't wait to try the regular menu. The esthetics of the restaurant was also very refreshing with ample parking to compliment.“

“Amazing delicious like home made food, takeout from Uber was packaged perfectly“

“Excellent food, excellent service! Just enjoyed a beautiful buffet with a wonderful selection of international dishes, plus scrumptious desserts! The hostess, servers, and chefs were very courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend checking out this gem!“

“This place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just dropping by for the view. The marina is well-kept, and the sunsets over the water are gorgeous. I like how the clubhouse has decent food and a casual patio. Downsides? It’s not super beginner-friendly unless you’re joining a program, and parking can be tight during events. Still, it’s a solid spot to unwind by the water or get out on a boat.“

“Visited Montana's 13th November 2022 with a group of 7 other people. The atmosphere was good, enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and conversation, followed by our server taking our meal order. She was very efficient and ensured all our needs were met. The order took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, the food was just warm. We explained to the server who was apologetic, the food was heated to our satisfaction, and enjoyed by all. We were visited by the Manager In order to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, following the issue we had experienced. She very kindly told us she was giving us a reduction on the total price as a sign of goodwill, and also provided free dessert for the group. I would say that was an excellent show of hospitality on the part of Montana's, and we will definitely be arranging future visits.“

“I’ve been coming here for 10+ years, and it’s one of those places that never disappoints.

The food is consistently great, beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right touch of elegance without feeling overdone. It’s the kind of place you can truly settle into and enjoy your evening.

What stands out just as much is the service. The staff are attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes all the difference. A special mention to Chris, who is hands down one of the best servers and bartenders I’ve ever come across. He has such a natural charm and a warm presence that really elevates the whole experience.

It’s rare to find a place that delivers this level of consistency across the board.“

“Nourriture excellente et prix raisonnables. Notre serveur: Cameron, était d’un grand professionnalisme et rapide. Courtois et sympathique. Je recommande vivement.“

“Had a Really wonderful experience with great service and atmosphere.
Food is the bestttttt hereeee and if you go to bar ask for Ali , he is the best and ask for his coffee special martini. The poutine here is best in the city for sure same quality as compared to Zak’s with well taken care of hygeine. Try chicken burgers also. Everything is worth for money and very affordable.

Vegetarian options: Try their side poutine veg one .“

“There are ample Park and Ride locations in Kanata/Ottawa where you can park for free and take public transportation at a minimal cost. The nice thing about public transportation out of and into the Canadian Tire Center is the city buses have a separate exit. While people are waiting to get out of the paid parking at the Arena you are already out of the area after taking the city bus a short 5 minute bus ride away to the terry fox transfer station at the Centrum shopping center after your event. If you haven’t parked there you can transfer to the area you parked or uber at a dramatically reduced cost. The city of Ottawa has many park and ride locations if you are coming to the arena for an event. Public transportation and pedestrians are given priority immediately after events so keep this in mind when choosing to park at the CTC. The arena staff are very helpful and friendly. 5stars. The area is generally very safe compared to other big events but remember to be aware of your surroundings. My only complaint is the lax enforcement of smoking or vaping during certain events. A hockey game wouldn’t have the venue in a cloud of smoke, nor would it be tolerated by fans, but certain concerts it is ignored. Keep this in mind when bringing children to concerts. The concessions are very expensive . The most cost effective concessions would be hot dogs, popcorn in a refillable cup, soda in a refillable cup. You can refill the popcorn and soda multiple times. Great to remember if you are going with kids to a family friendly event. Bring baggies. Sharing is caring.“

“I haven't been, but it's my name. Five stars.“
