Canadian Restaurants near Nepean, ON

“I keep coming back to Montana’s on Merivale for many reasons - the food is consistently tasty (LOVE THE ANTOJITOS), the front of house staff are always welcoming, and the service is top-notch. I specifically request to be seated in Jackie’s section whenever she is working - she is always warm and personable, very hard-working, and attentive even when the restaurant is hopping. This will always be one of my main go-to places!“

“We had a celebration for my mom after she passed just recently with a long weekend approaching we had no idea of who we could get River lounge Catering was recommended to us. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Everybody raved about the quality of service, the food, the display . and their professionalism. For our family they deserve five stars thank you so much. V“

“Nepean Sailing Club is super sailing harbour with sailing uncountable boats with sails of different types and colours. It is operated from a safe site beside a park where several sit benches are placed by the donors in memory of their loved ones. Fishing by anglers can be seen there. One lady was found with her portable chair working with Laptop in this pleasing atmosphere. Enjoying time here is best in the area.“

“Emily was our server and she was great! We always come for the wings and good company. Kelsey’s at Barrhaven is my favourite. It can get a little noisy at times because of its open feel but it’s still our favourite Kelsey’s in the city“

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

The atmosphere was elegant, and comfortable.

“We received a gift card from a family member for $100 USD as a Christmas Present and were excited about enjoying a meal at this restaurant. The gift card was purchased directly from Joey's, not a 3rd party. We went and everything initially about the restaurant was very enjoyable. The food was very good, the service was attentive and we enjoyed our experience until the cheque arrived. When we we presented the gift card (electronically) our server went to speak with a ⁶manager and then returned to inform us that the $100 USD would be honoured in Canadian dollars. $100 USD is worth $144.50 Canadian dollars according to google when checked today. We paid the bill and tipped the service team 22% and left after effectively having $44.50 taken from us and our family member in what felt like to us, theft by conversion. The manager in question did not come to follow up after our expressing our disappointment JOEY's is already a very expensive restaurant. Further, the gift card information indicates that Joey's has US based restaurants. I'm quite sure that Canadian dollar gift cards are not accepted at par in the US. This ruined for us, what was otherwise a positive experience, through what felt like to us, an act of corporate greed and impersonal profiteering. After this experience we will not be back and sadly, I cannot recommend JOEY's as a place for anyone else to dine at. Any company that sells a gift card directly and then fails to deliver full value is patently dishonest, in my opinion.“

“Outstanding experience, from the service to the food. I took Istanbul Basha and felt could feed 2 persons, keep up the great work“

“The absolute best of the best!!!! The cocktails were delicious, the tartar was out of this world, the bread, the main meal… so very satisfied!“

“Best poutine in town!!!!!!“

“Really great place to enjoy awesome food!!! ambiance and service are great 👍 can't go wrong. Bring her there and you are set lol“

“The staff at Dinette Atomique clearly take pride in the food they serve up and and its flavours. The menu reflects fusion of south asian flavours with a range of other dishes and for the most part things work well. The only improvement I can think of would be to strengthen the use of herbs such as cilantro and mint that really do give flavour twists that make this style of cooking already stand out. The spring rolls were excellent but departed from most spring rolls in that they were more like sausages with fewer vegetable ingredients. Although this made them heavier than expected they were still excellent. The Crispy Rice Cake Hash was also well put together and unique. The restaurant is full of finishing touches like the chef's own hot sauce and ketchup etc - all rounding out a unique food experience. I would definitely return to try some more items from the menu and the atmosphere is unique and melds closely with the second hand shop next door!“

“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!“

“Delicious food with interesting and well-balanced spice mix. Portions are ample, but not excessive, and price-to-food ratio feels fair. The service was outstanding, in the sense that the staff were friendly in a genuine manner. I did take-out, so I can not speak to the quality of dine-in service. The ambiance is fine, the restaurant has the vibe of a place where you would expect a group of Middle-Eastern seniors to hang out and have tea all day, that sort of coziness. Nothing flashy, but completely fine. We’ll be back for sure.“

“We had such an amazing experience at Le St-Laurent! We came to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and everything from the food to the service was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and every dish we tried was so well done. The braised beef was probably the best dish I’ve ever had at a restaurant. It was phenomenal. Kudos to the chef!

The service really made the evening even more special. Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had a great experience throughout the night. The atmosphere was beautiful and perfect for a birthday celebration or special occasion. The sunset was also remarkable.

We left extremely happy with our experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Le St-Laurent for anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a memorable evening!“

“Reynolds has been an amazing breakfast spot for me. I have eating restrictions and they have accommodated my needs. The staff is great and friendly as well.“

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

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“Stop reading this and go. Sooooooo delicious…. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Food was amazing and the service was among the best I’ve ever witnessed. I’d give 6 stars if I could.“

“Thank you Chris for the friendly and great service yesterday, while we celebrated my daughter's graduation from Ottawa U . It was nice to relax and enjoy our delicious food. This is our favorite restaurant.“

“Cool vibe, great staff, delicious eats, validated parking…nothing but good things to say! Went for brunch today and will definitely be back…looking forward to trying the whole menu!!“

“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.“

“Stopped in last night after the red blacks game and so happy we did! Great beer selection and awesome service from our server Abby. We aren’t huge drinkers so we had quite a few questions about their menu which our server walked us through patiently. New go-to spot in Landsdowne.“

“A wonderful Friday night experience celebrating a friend’s birthday. Beautiful, relaxing and cosy ambiance, with friendly and prompt service by Luanne. The mixologist really knows what she’s doing with the handcrafted cocktails and each drink was served in just the perfect glass. Charcuterie and mezze platters were unique and delicious. A fantastic spot for date night, solo dining or with a crowd for happy hour.“

“Especial thanks to Chef Dave for the delicious food and the morning guy server who is helpful and hands on. Hands down to the mouthwatering food and delicious. above and beyond my expectation of the food and customer service. highly recommended 5/5 .“

“I just love how quiet and cozy this place is. I was seated by the window, where I had a beautiful view of the Rideau Canal with the sunlight streaming in—it made the whole experience even more relaxing.
The selection is good without being overwhelming, which I actually enjoyed. The scrambled eggs were incredibly creamy, and the poached eggs were absolutely divine! They also have healthy options like fresh juice and fresh fruits, which is a nice touch.
I really took the time to savor every bite. You can truly taste the quality of the food in every dish—it’s fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Definitely a place I'd come back to!“

“This restaurant is a gem, especially for weekend brunch. As a local permanent makeup artist with a studio downtown this is my favourite place to grab a full slow-food breakfast before my first client arrives. The table settings are luxury class with white linens and proper settings. The variety and quality of food is excellent. I imagine that travellers staying in the hotel would have an excellent experience. Having tried other hotel restaurants in the downtown core I can say that the Carleton Grill is competing very well.“

“I usually order the steak. But the onion rings have been terrible lately. Can you go back to the original way. Or give French's fried onions please.“

“Went to celebrate my birthday what a great choice. The service was excellent, The food was beautiful presented and the taste was amazing. Not our first visit and won't be our last.“

“neat, kind staff, good atmosphere“

“Excellent food drink and service“

“How did I not see this place sooner? We had a fantastic dinner, excellent bilingual service (which mattered to our group as one person doesn't speak English), and the most delicious food and wine. The beef tartar with Avonlea cloth cheddar was out of this world. I've had beef tartar at Michelin restaurants and this one was better. So delicious, I'd just go back for that alone. The wine recommendations were excellent. And the brioche dessert dish was finger licking yummy. The sommelier, Nicholas, was knowledgeable and super pleasant. Brought two choices of Cabernet Franc to our table to tatse and both were hits. Reasonable prices too for this quality of food and service. 100% recommended.“

“Lago was fantastic. The staff were so great and took care of everyone’s dietary needs and allergies. They were very organized with timing and making sure we were where we needed to be. The decor we provided was placed as intended and the room looked amazing. Being there was a great experience and my guests raved about the food and the venue. I’d definitely recommend Lago to a friend.“

“Awesome space for group events!“

“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal.

I was blown away by every single thing me and my husband ate.. all of their ingredients are locally sourced and Canadian!

Also it’s insane how attentive and caring the servers are, my server was awesome, he explained every dish in detail and came and checked on us at the right time every time!
He made us feel like V.I.P even tho we were just regular diners.
I forget his name but he was a French blonde gentlemen.
We will be back again forsure!

Amazing job to the team at Aianna Resturant.“

“Food was great, and everyone was happy with their orders.

Just the restaurant was very cold inside, and we had to move to a corner that was a little more protected from the cold AC. Also, I’m not sure why, but there were quite a few flies around, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the food.“

“Wonderful fondue in the winter!“

“Went there for Sunday brunch with some friend. delicious! It is busy, so you can't stay their too long to mingle. that's the only negative part.“

“Fantastic Service and Delicious Food!
​We had a wonderful experience at Milestones on Baxter Rd (next to IKEA). Our waitress, Cassidy, was incredibly friendly and took great care of us. We ordered the steak sandwich and the sandwich trio, and both were absolutely delicious. Fantastic service and amazing food—what more could you ask for? Highly recommend!“

“Great place to socialize and eat. The food is outstanding. To me though the best highlight of Elgin Street Diner is the customer service and experience. Our server Myles was hilarious, would always crack good jokes and create a good atmosphere when serving us! If you're covering another person's tab he'll always recommend the streak lol. He even took our pictures by request! Thank you to him and the others working that day!“

“Excellent food and vibe. Perfect date night for me and my wife!“

“Really good food and great service. . . ill be going back there whenever im in town..“
