Restaurants in Ottawa

“we just came home from a delicious meal tonight of calamari and then is the mean we had pasta with king crap and the co in the coconut sauce. the service was excellent the food as always top notch. What else can I say it is my favourite favourite restaurant and where I always take people when we have people from out of town. Thank you Pelican Grill for always meeting my high expectations”

“BEST pizza in Ottawa IMO. The “Sweetheart” is the idyllic pepperoni pizza with a bit of added “zing”, and it’s literally perfect in every way. The Fennel & Sausage pizza was also excellent! The birthday cake was a simple but perfect dessert. Our server was so kind, and the overall time spent at Heartbreakers couldn’t have been better. Hopefully they might expand at some point-getting a reservation isn’t easy! :)”

“We went to the Embrun location yesterday with friends and my gosh. These are delicious burgers! Beats The Works 100% I have to be honest, when we saw another burger joint go up in Embrun we over looked it. But our friends kept talking to us about it and we all went. BEST burgers in town!! Love the creativity and flavours. I don’t even care for burgers usually…but I already have my next burger planned out!”

“I love this place, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is so calm and pleasant. We had a few drinks I had the salad and risotto - soo good! I will definitely be back!”

“I’ve been meaning to leave this review for a while. This place served us during the pandemic and we’re very good to us during the freedom convoy. The burgers were delicious! Highly recommend. Thank you!”

“Great food, nice ambiance and free Bollywood music. Krishnan and Hari were very friendly and helped us replace the hakka noodles as they came in too spicy the first time. Really appreciate the customer friendliness. Would definitely come back.Apr 18, 2024: we were back today. Hari’s service was wonderful as always! Decent food today.”

“Came here to try the Meal For Two ramen. I got myself the Beef Shoyu with garlic oil and my parner ordered the beef original. This was my first time ordering a beef ramen. I usually get pork ramen. It turned out pretty well. The broth was very flavorful especially the beef shoyu one. Give it a try if you want some variety with your ramen. Pork Gyoza was also delicious and crispy. The server was also very attentive and nice—great hospitality.”

“Can’t wait to go back. The wait was long (arrived 9am on Saturday, seated at 10) but it was 100% worth it. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. I wasn’t a huge fan of the hollandaise (it’s maybe a chipotle hollandaise, and healthier tasting and less buttery than expected) but it was still good. Loved the sides. Brussel sprouts and blueberry pancake are must haves and I’m salivating just reliving eating them. I got the veggie Benny which is on a delicious quinoa patty, with the cauliflower poutine and Brussels. My husband got the bird’s nest and blueberry pancakes.Vegetarian options: Veggie Benny comes with two poached eggs on a veggie patty (believe this is made with quinoa and lentil), will a salsa and avocado”

“So accommodating to me and my friends made me feel at home and literally the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten!!!! Must try in Ottawa !!!! The staff were so friendly and welcoming! It was beyond our expectations”

“We went to the Embrun location yesterday with friends and my gosh. These are delicious burgers! Beats The Works 100% I have to be honest, when we saw another burger joint go up in Embrun we over looked it. But our friends kept talking to us about it and we all went. BEST burgers in town!! Love the creativity and flavours. I don’t even care for burgers usually…but I already have my next burger planned out!”

“Went back to Town for the first time since 2018. Food and drink is still good but I do dislike that they merged the menu with Citizen. They used to be distinct and have different reasons to dine at, now it’s basically the same restaurant that takes the best from both and removes a lot of other options. Service was quick but it did feel a bit like they were trying to rush us out to turn around the table. Prices were fair.”

“Delicious burgers & hand cut fries. Super nice, kind staff that went above and beyond for our little family (even offering our two little kiddos warm chocolate chip cookies). Thank you guys! You're awesome!”

“I recently tried the Dizi at Cofe Tehran restaurant, and it was amazing! The flavors were fantastic, and the atmosphere was cozy. I highly recommend giving it a try!”

“Sadaf and the rest of the employees here are amazing! Super friendly, fast service and the food is always perfect. Gotta love having a place like this in the neighborhood!”

“Delicious food and drinks!However if you have a baby, the bathroom has a broken changing table so my sister had to change her baby in the stroller... very awkward. Additionally there was no ramp near the front door to either access ourselves or that we could ask the staff for (and they were very busy that Saturday so I feel like it would've been an awkward imposition) To enter you have to scale two steep steps and pass through a narrow doorway, so bringing in the stroller for her baby was difficult.While it may not necessarily be an obvious family restaurant like Dennys or something, but its 2024 and you would hope they would apply for grants to get more accessible doors for their business, especially being in the Market aswell.”

“Will Give This Place A Second TryRecently attended this place to celebrate a birthdayFoodCharcuterie plate for an appetizer - nice selection of cheeses from Quebec; portions were small but adequate; a good olive would have made this plate even betterCiabatta - served warm with olive oil and gastriqueNote: bread is not complimentaryBraised beef short rib - enjoyed the vegetables the chef chose to accompany the beef - potato, mushroom and broccoli - my favourites; enjoyed the beef, it was tender; in terms of flavour, the demi-glace was lacking; I definitely could not taste the horseradishDessertHad the butter finger dessert based on the description of another reviewer; it was OK, too sweet for my liking; would not have againCocktailDeep Thoughts - deliciousAll plates were nicely presentedServiceAttentive but not intrusive, just how I like itAtmosphereNice decor, tableware, furnitureOverall good experience, I'd consider coming back for brunch; it was noteworthy that our table did not have any salt or pepper, nor was any offered”

“The food is exceptional. You won't find better Italian food. We shared escargot, I had Cannelloni, my hubby had veal Parmigiano. My sister had filet mignon, my sister-in-law had smelts. The range is impressive. I didn't have room for dessert, in fact I brought some home.It was a birthday celebration, and we were unable to bring in our own sugar free cake (2 bdays, same day, both diabetic) so that's my only regret.Great server. Nick! A wonderful night. We had a party of 8 and unfortunately unless you were in the middle you couldn't communicate with others, it's very loud. We have been there before and will be again. Thank you!”

“Food is outstanding! Took over 20min of sitting there to get our bill, even after we hit the "call" button at the table. Maybe we didn't understand the procedure.... I'd do take out the next time.”

“Came here on a recent visit for a pre birthday dinner with my elderly mom.The staff was wonderful, both with her and with the service in general. Bit of a hiccup which meant we had to move tables, my mom was not happy, but they handled it so very well.Food was great along with the atmosphere, they had a great selection of sizes of steak - important especially when there is an elderly guest. The staff and food made this trip to a restaurant with my mom one of the best that I have had for very long time. Will be back for sure.”

“I did not take a picture of my food but the vermicelli was wonderful! The iced coffee was out of the world.Thank you for the great supper !Kid-friendliness: Easy food, simple tastes for children !”

“Always a lovely time here. From the moment you enter to the end it’s truly a pleasant experience. The food is authentic and I must say the cannoli were just scrumptious. Great way to get the Italian experience away from italia. Will definitely be coming back again.”

“Nice Casual atmosphere. Cocktails were great and fun, although a bit on the pricey side. We ordered the white fish appetizer which my girlfriend found delicious and I just thought it was missing a little something more. We ordered the trout main and the pot pie special. The pot pie was delicious, however we were disappointed with the trout, especially at that price point. The trout itself was good, and the pasta with chorizo was good, but it just didn’t work together. The pasta was too spicy and it took away from the fish. Extremely disappointed with that considering it’s also the most expensive thing on the menu. With all that said the service was fantastic. Couldn’t have had a better waitress.”

“My recent dining experience at this Kerala-inspired restaurant , left me thoroughly impressed. Initially hesitant about the concept of Kerala fine dining, I was humbled by the outstanding quality and extravagant flavors of the dishes. The ambience was superb, complemented by excellent customer service. The attentive staff, including the front of the house manager, ensured that our needs were constantly met. We were so impressed that our entire table decided to order another round of mains. Although we didn't have the opportunity to try the chef's tasting menu this time, it's definitely at the top of my list for my next visit. A must-try for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!"”

“J'y suis allé avec ma copine pour sa fête, wow! Le personnel nous a offert une consommation et les plats étaient succulents! Nous avons adoré notre soirée! 10/10”

“Stolen Goods is exactly the kind of place Downtown Ottawa has been in desperate need of. Fair warning: the venue is small, so get a reservation to avoid disappointment at the door.The care and passion that Ray, Mike and Adam put into making each drink and menu item can be felt. It really is an experience, and they are artists of their craft.We have visited this bar at least a dozen times since it opened and the service and quality have never wavered. Ray is usually our server and he is friendly, funny, and is always willing to tell you more about the creation process of their menus.The menu is varied with some unique options that are well worth the venture (Three Brothers is a favourite of ours!). With constantly changing drink and food options it feels new and exciting each time you go, and there's always something for even the pickiest of drinkers. Their special events are also always a blast!This truly is a local gem and I cannot wait to see what this team comes up with next!”

“FINALLY had a chance to try Lola’s Kitchen today. We are a family of 4 with the youngest being a picky eater. We had Chicken Adobo, Chicken Sisig, BBQ Beef Ribs and Beef Tapa. We LOVED every dish, extremely tasty. So tasty, we finished our plates (incl. the picky one… he said “Mmmmm”), and unfortunately didn’t leave enough room for dessert, but we will definitely be back. Next time, we will get those platters that other tables ordered. They looked fantastic! We will also consider calling Lola’s for catering. Fantastic elevated Filipino food!! Yummm!”

“Soo yummy! We tried everything on the menu (almost) and were impressed by everything! The brussle sprouts were a fan fave and both of our pasta entrees were lovely!! We also enjoyed the strawberry tiramisu and wow, sooo good!! Highly recommend, also cute tables!”

“The five course tasting meal was fantastic - every dish a delight! The service was next level and the ambience and every little detail makes this a fast favourite!”

“This place is truly amazing. The cocktails are so good. If you want something different, they can also create a cocktail just for you. The mixologists are always on point. We always enjoy having some cheese and charcuterie. I had the best sourdough cracker there - like, the best ever.”

“5 star! Best in Ottawa…?. Reminds me of the good old days, years ago, when Kardish on Wellington, was King but have since closed. Everything is perfect here. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed. Prices are extremely fair as well.”

“Great place for breakfast. Very good service and the server was good enough to make a couple of suggestions to accommodate my gluten free requirements.Dietary restrictions: Good gluten free options available including GF bread/toast.”

“Was very clean and bright. Wasn't busy at 8:00 pm but the staff was very nice and helpful. The foods was well done and delicious. We definitely will go back again. Recommend it.”

“It's my first time having African food... and it will not be my last! Very tasty food, lovely staff - I'm excited to come back for the buffet breakfast or lunch buffet option.”

“The food is delicious and the service is excellent! I’d give 6 stars if I could - the extra star because I know my money isn’t funding a gen o sideBeware of the one star reviews that are from Zionists who have never eaten ”

“Pleasantly surprised! Usually the experience at Mcdonalds is subpar and makes me regret going, but today was great. I don't remember the last time I was impressed by Mcdonalds.Staff was really friendly, always communicated wait times and apologized if something wasn't right. The food itself was freshly cooked, and properly assembled?!!!!!Let me repeat that, the food was properly assembled, as in it wasn't made as if a toddler made it. The food was actually in order, it wasn't a giant mess like it usually is. They actually followed my order notes like asking for extra lettuce where every other mconalds I've been to have never listened.”

“These guys rock, can't get enough of their Chicken Cruncher and Chipotle Sauce. The consistency between the branches shows a high level of professionalism and quality ”

“I enjoyed the crispy crunch combo, it tasted very fresh. The combo was very appetizing and filling as well. I would love to eat this everyday! The customer service was great too. The lady that works there was very kind to me and I had a great time talking to her. I come to this specific sushi shop all the time.”

“This location is the best because of Billy. The food and atmosphere are great but Billy's positive attitude and helpfulness made our day! We will definitely be back!”

“Pretty good here, its small but you still get what you want and it tastes delicious! Thank you guys. I dont have to cross the street to go to the bigger one! So yeah, Thank You.”

“There is an employee who stands out and shines bright among the rest.I’ve been inside of that location more times than I can count.Alisha Goes above and beyond each and every single time and I Can’t t say enough good things about her as she continues to deliver service with a smile. just a very pleasant person to deal with!”

“The experience was fine. I think I wasn't well informed about A&W not having an actual chicken but chicken nuggets. ☺️Parking: It has a good spacious parking lot”

“This is by far the best location I’ve been to. It has great, quick service, and there is always no problems with the food, and is generally clean, and welcoming. I do notice that the donut options are slowly starting to minimize, but other than that it’s great. The coffee is also amazing, the best coffee I’ve had from a Tim Hortons. I highly recommend this location.”

“This is a well run Subway franchise. Angel and the rest of the staff are wonderful and friendly. I'm there every Thursday to get a sub for supper, and I'm always looking forward to it.”

“We go often to this location even though it is out of our way, and the reason is Arsh! He is an amazing sandwich artist and knows how to make a good sandwich and he kind demeanour is also something we enjoy :-) he is definitely an asset to the restaurant and always makes our visits a pleasure :-) thank you Arsh! You are appreciated :-)”

“Love a Cafe Mocha and an old fashioned plain donut, at the drive through, after running errands.The staff is always accurate and also always very polite at the Innes location across from Metro.Also like their soup and the bun it comes with.”

“This is my favorite food place. I tried almost everything that they cooked, and I liked it. And for me, the most important thing is how they meet you with a nice beautiful smile.I recommend this place if you like Syrian food and dessert.”

“An incredible dining experience here! The grilled meat was succulent and bursting with flavor, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious BBQ and exceptional service.”

“Went here for the ramzaan buffet, it is a lil expensive compared to other buffets but worth it! The food was delicious with lots of options, the customer service was great as well.They do have a prayer room which is perfect during ramzaan. You do have to make a reservation before hand for the buffet.Only reason it’s a 4/5 stars is because I am not a fan of their takeout combo which we had previously.”

“Most authentic Indo-Sri Lankan food I've ever had in Ottawa, great hosts, fantastic restaurants and delicious food. Totally recommend! (thanks for the free chai at the end)”

“I am absolutely in love with the Chicken biryani that I took for my family this Wednesday! I was worried that like other places it would be too spicy (what is this sudden love of extremely spicy / hot biryani in other restaurants! that completely kills the delicate flavors that Indian cuisine is famous for!). I asked for it to be mild and it was just perfect!!! the flavors were delectable abs we were able to enjoy what we ate. will be back.”

“Wow, absolutely Wow. Best pizza I've had. They are very generous with their toppings so you will need a fork and knife to eat it fresh. The garlic sauce was so good. I got a half veggie half cheese. Staff is amazing. Family owned, family entertainment. Great customer service. Did I mention the pizza was amazing? Sooooooo good”

“Very good authentic food. It was the first time me and my boyfriend tried Algerian food, and we totally fell in love with it.Really nice flavours and presentation. Must visit.”

“First time here and it was excellent . Definitely recommend going. The food was great and the service as well really friendly :) If you love lots of cheese and sauce on your poutine it’s the place to go. They don’t cheap out! We tried the outrageous burger and the cheese stick burger they are to die for!”

“This restaurant was great when Tony ran it. The new owners have taken it to the next level! The food is delicious - the donair meat is juicy and cut thick; combined with their donair sauce and veggies, it all comes together to make their deservedly famous pizza and wraps. And, there is Terry-Lynn - you will be hard-pressed to find anybody who puts in as much heart and love into her food and business as Terry-Lynn ❤️”

“I am a regular at this restaurant. I have tried just about everything on the menu and I have never been disappointed. It is a pub so it is a bot noisy. I recommend sitting in the veranda.”

“The service, presentation, the food was amazing. Tuna crudo, orange endive salad, pasta was delicious! The orange chocolate mousse was incredible. I will return for sure. I need to try the baked alaska.”

“This place was amazing. The staff made you feel at home and welcomed. The food was beyond my high expectations. They have a 4.9 star review and I see why. I would recommend this place to anyone who asked where to eat while in Ottawa. Superb!!”

“I discovered this restaurant about 3 months ago and since then, im addicted to it! This place has amazing good food. The Bun Bo Hue "spicy", lemongrass soup is my favourite. I eat it at least 2-3 time per month. It is sooooo flavourful!!! Then, I've tried Bun Cha for the first time yesterday and I fell in love with this plate too. So fresh, so flavourful. I can't wait to discover more of their food. And, the service is amazing, employees are super nice. Love this place”

“Yesterday me and friends went to Juice dudez on Richmond Rd, as we waited for our food, Paul was helping us and keeping us updated. He was really sweet and helpful. Made our wait pleasant and enjoyable.Thank you Paul, your work and dedication is greatly appreciated!!! :)”

“All in all a wonderful experience ! The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Sharing their love for waffles and Korean inspired menu items like the Croffle. (I have yet to try it, but I heard it was delicious).Their butterfly iced tea is delicious and should be on your to-try list :DA good place for a respite, or to catch up with a friend with a good drink ^_^Vegetarian options: Plant-based milk option available, such as almond, oat & soy.”

“We wish we had more reasons to hire Merry Dairy’s ice cream truck after hiring them to serve ice cream at our wedding. The truck added such a fun element to the evening, and guests loved the surprise and opportunity to stretch their legs while grabbing their dessert. Merry Dairy was exceptional and super easy to work with. They were flexible, reliable, and the staff serving ice cream was super friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. They had a vegan option, too, which especially our guests with dietary restrictions really appreciated. Their ice cream is delicious! Please do yourselves a favour and eat Merry Dairy ice cream.”

“This place is a blast from the past vibe-wise paired with what feels a carefully toned down take on Canadian-Chinese takeout food.The flavours all around lack that bitey high sugar content that you would expect from most of these places -- making it much more approachable to those that would otherwise avoid this type of menu, including those who are more familiar with mainland Chinese food. The textures were quite good compared to typical small town fare as well.The western menu is solid if a little bit less inspired. Our highlight out of it is all of the ice cream, which is very basic but continues with the general theme of the menu having what feels like 50% of the sugar cut out of it to make it much more palatable.Don't get me wrong this is still junky take-out food in all the ways that you want, but those who know the proverb will know what I mean when I say..."Not too sweet."Kid-friendliness: There are several play-place structures.”

“Amazing beer, if you’ve never tired anything from this place I would highly recommend the sunsplit if you love fruity ! Truly amazing! If we see a bar that sells this I always order !”

“Lovely cafe surrounding the NAC vibe and facing the city with a parliament hill view!What’s even best ? The artistically crafted drinks by a fantastic team of baristas!”

“I did the 1 day cleanse yesterday! I lost 5 lbs and the drinks were delicious! I will definitely be doing this on a regular bases and I highly recommend trying it...”

“Nice little spot with a very open area to sit and enjoy some really good craft beer. If you like IPAs, you're in luck!! Many to choose from here using many different hop varieties makes them all very interesting”

“Feel the jingle, taste the joy – Christmas season's brewing at Starbucks! Get ready to sip on the warmth of the holidays with your favorite hot beverage! Outside coffee prices can be found less though the tast is really recommendable?☕”

“Ordered online at like 3 am on a saturday night. Food came hot, well priced, and the chicken parm sandwich had absolutely no business being that good! The sauce was amazing, and the chicken crispy, bun toasted and high quality. Love this place! The calzones are also great when I come.... To nitpick, fries could use a bit more salt, but aside from that 5/5, delicious.”

“This has to be the best fast food place I've tried in as long as I can remember! The food was great and the service was even better. Our cashier was so sweet and friendly, and she truly made the experience wholesome and positive. I typically go to fast fast restaurants with the expectation of poor service and mediocre food but Harvey's surely raised the bar. I had heard about their quality exceeding the standard, which I can now confirm.For someone who loves spicy, the ghost pepper sauce hit the spot! Their shakes are also great - the strawberry and chocolate are a blast from the past! As a vegetarian, their veggie burger and poutine did not disappoint either! Overall 10/10 experience.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger, poutine, onion rings, fries, milkshakes, and more!”

“Nice vibe - the decor, variety of seating, music - just enough variety of hot & cold teas and coffees...oh yes, and some cold brews(kis)! Oh, and NO pumpkin spice ANYTHING !”

“Pick up order regularly when in town! 1st time food was tough! They replaced n/c with an explanation, smile & great food! Wonderful Service!0Parking: Ample”

“One of the better Starbucks as one might expect it to be as a government-centric location. Pretty good hours too.Still no oleato, we can probably also "thank" the government for that ?”

“My goto place if you wish to just sit and relax. Nice coffee, of course. Clean restrooms, ample seating space, amazing staff. Location is perfect for an quick grab-n-go if you are at byward.They have charging points under each seat around the wall so that's another plus. Main entrance is not wheelchair friendly though, we had to carry out stroller otherwise the experience was great.Wheelchair accessibility: Entry to Starbucks is not wheelchair friendly though.”

“Excellent and friendly customer service! My boys and I were served by Richard and he was wonderful! I did not check the store hours and arrived at Carlingwood mall shortly after closing. All the store lights were turned off and everything was closed but I asked my son to pick a cake from behind the glass freezer so I could return the next day for the purchase. Richard popped out from the back of the store and offered to help us anyways even though DQ was closed. He explained the cake styles, asked what colour of ink we wanted on the cake and patiently packed everything, all the while being cheerful. He made our day and saved me a second trip! My son commented on how nice he was after we left. Keep up the work!! This is the type of service that builds customer loyalty!”

“The Wednesday and Thursday opening staff at this location have my whole heart. They are always so kind and and I get my drink made perfectly every time. Happy to be a regular at this location.”

“Impressed ! From the front door to the table. Food was high quality. Service was as expected considering the venue. Alex and Jason were on the ball and very professional. Recommend it to anyone! Just ”

“What a special relaxed atmosphere, with such good food.My wife and I had wonderful cocktails and a lovely bottle of Cabarnet Sauvignon.My caviar appetizer, with creme fresh and dill was delicious.I also shared a bit of the lobster on homemade pasta. Full lobster claw and tail, cooked perfectly.My main of potato crusted Fogo island cod was perfection.Service was great, and multiple staff came by to greet us as we were celebrating a special occasion.”

“Our company hosted a reception for 50+ people followed by a sit down dinner at Beckta. It was — without a doubt — a phenomenal success thanks to the wonderful staff, incredible food, and excellent wine & cocktails! Beckta’s location is conveniently located in downtown Ottawa on Elgin, and is in a very distinguished historic building. Bottom line: we could not have picked a better spot to host our corporate reception, and our guests were thrilled. Thank you to Stephen, Sandy and the entire Beckta crew! Sincerely, The Keurig Dr Pepper Team!”

“The experience was excellent, the wine pairing outstanding and the different texture, taste and visual presentation of each tasting beyond our expectation of fine dine. Superb. Our thanks to the chef and his team and the entire staff. You have made the evening memorable.”

“One of my favourite places in Ottawa. Great food, and some of the best wine you'll find in the city. Friendly and knowledgable staff too. Try the orange wine, the oysters, the char... It's all good. A little pricey but well worth it if you feel like splurging a bit.”

“The food is innovative, beautifully presented and delicious. The service is excellent. We have enjoyed Ray’s service several times, and Amanda always offers a friendly greeting and good advice on wine pairings. Highly recommend their takeout options as well.”

“I want to thank the staff/servers for providing me with the best service every time I visit and I want to give Marino a shoutout for his excellent service tonight. The food was amazing, as always :)”

“My friends were in town and found this little gem... They had already had been in for lunch and we returned again that night for dinner. The food was incredible, it left us amazed at the effort and quality with which flavours were presented. Very reasonably priced for what we received. We will definitely be returning. I absolutely recommend fauna to any foodies or those seeking great food and a change of the monotony of alot of restaurants today.”

“A wonderful restaurant and dining experience, run by a world-class team. Their tasting menu is one of the best meals I've had.The dining room itself is gorgeous -- modern, stunning, romantic, and spacious. It has great lighting and sound balance. The kitchen is completely open to the dining room and provides quite a spectacle for those interested in the cooking process. The chef and sous-chef themselves came by to present a couple courses.The service is wonderful -- attentive, informative, and kind without being overbearing. The wine list is excellent, and the front-of-house team provides great recommendations and guidance upon request.The food is spectacular. We had the opportunity to experience Aiana's tasting menu, and strongly recommend it. The tasting menu currently begins with a course named "The Four Flavours of Life", featuring a series of small bites (an array of amuse-bouches, similar in spirit to the "sakizuke" opening course in traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine, meant to prepare the diner for the meal and introduce the chef's style). This opening course dazzled in its variety in terms of flavour, texture, and presentation. The rest of the menu expanded on these themes with wonderful variety, showcasing many ingredients both local and luxurious with respect and creativity. Every course was delicious. Highlights include the caviar and truffle courses, as well as a unique take on foie gras. The tasting menu ends with some lovely ice cream and desserts, including a final course of "petit fours", in a sense mirroring the opening course but in dessert form.Truly a talented team at Aiana. They were also very kind in accommodating our dietary restrictions. Thank you for the wonderful evening!Dietary restrictions: We reached out ahead, and they were very accomodating.Kid-friendliness: Aiana recently began offering a kid's tasting menu titled "Little Chefs". A table nearby ordered it for two children, and they seemed to really love it.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is fully accessible. No stairs are required for entry, and the washrooms are accessible and gender-neutral.”

“The attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience was truly remarkable. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening or a celebratory gathering with friends and family. The decor was elegant yet cozy, creating a charming ambiance that made us feel right at home.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? Each dish was a masterpiece, expertly crafted with the finest ingredients and bursting with flavour. It's clear that the chefs here are passionate about their craft and dedicated to delivering an unforgettable culinary experience.And let's not forget about the impeccable service. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfection. From helping us navigate the menu to recommending the perfect wine pairing, his expertise added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening.In summary, this Italian restaurant is an absolute gem. Whether you're a food enthusiast looking for an exceptional dining experience or simply craving delicious Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere, this place has it all. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Five stars all the way!”

“Went for a birthday celebration. Staff, can't say much more than simply amazing. Food was excellent and very fresh. Definitely will be a favourite place for us to go from now on.”

“Amazing it a great word to use. From the time we arrived, seated at our table for our family celebration. The services was impeccable, The Staff (Birjan K and his helper) were the best at helping us with our selections and giving us great advice and finally to Mercedes Gordon for making our evening a memoriable one.. Until the next time...”

“A special thankyou to the entire staff at Next for a wonderful meal and fantastic dining experience. We celebrated our daughters birthday yesterday and our experience was top notch. A very special thankyou to Barb who served us and made our evening exceptional, i can't say enough about her wonderful personality and attention she offered our family. We will see you again !”

“Jamie-Lynn and her team did an amazing job with cupcakes and cookies for my wedding . They needed little to no instructions and stuck to my colour scheme perfectly ! They were always easy to deal with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for a future event :)”

“Food is excellent, service amazing and one of the big reasons I love this place. We had dinner there for our 5th visit and brought guests 4 of those times as we were gusts the first time and everyone has loved this place . We drive here from Kanata and we have a Keg right around the corner from us. This place ROCKS!”

“I couldn't give enough stars for this place. My bf and I have been there quite a few times since opening, his son loves it there too. Services is outstanding, food is incredible and the plates are humungous!!! The first time going we were greeted by the lovely Abraham. Super nice guy, and remembered our faces the second time we went back and always takes time to ask how we've been and ask where is the boy if he is not present. The food is so fresh, love is put into every item they make and I couldn't say enough good things. I am so happy they are a new business that is thriving. They know I'll be back.LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! <3”

“I offered to buy a round of coffee for the excellent staff at Galerie St.Laurent + Hill down the street. They insisted that I go to Opulence, and I‘m glad I did. Excellent service, great coffee, and Ben was very helpful with his recommendations and attention to detail. I will be back! Thanks again Ben!”

“Très bonne place pour manger des crêpes et des gaufres avec Achta, miel, pistaches et du bon chocolat Belge. Les smoothies sont très bons et pas trop sucrés avec des vrais fruits frais. En plus de l’accueil chaleureux des propriétaires. Merci pour la chanson happy birthday, c’était très apprécié, nous reviendrons souvent sans hésitation.”

“The burger was excellent!!! It's literally just a joint, so the place is nothing special, but the food was so good. Best burger I had. Very simple but delicious.”

“Very warm welcome from the owners who offered me a good harira soup with my meal, you can see that they like to show off their cuisine.Very hearty takeaway meal. I really liked the tea, less so the tagine because of the fries and a strange aftertaste. It’s certainly better served at the table than in a container with a lid.Thank you for your kindness!”

“What a beautiful Resturant ! I just arrived in ottawa and the Owner Mr.Moe is a super Kind , generous and loving person ? , The pizza was so delicious, you will get to feel each ingredients, i added another cheese and Zatar pie . Please note : you must Take the Garlic Dip Sauce ? I definitely recommend this place and i will come again .”

“Just amazing. Some really interesting options here. I can't believe I got such a fresh, and tasty sandwich for $10. The bread, the meat, etc. everything was fresh.”

“In a word, this place is spectacular!!! The chai is perfectly prepared, and the sandwiches are some of the tastiest I have ever had, anywhere. *Anywhere*. Not only that, the portions are substantial, the prices reasonable, and the staff is lovely. Great food, great prices, great service. The trifecta, and that is increasingly hard to find in Ottawa. Run, don't walk, and enjoy a great meal here. My new favourite place to eat in Ottawa.”

“A deliciously fresh twist of a shawarma sandwich! The beef had a great taste, the toppings were all super fresh, and even the salad dressing was spectacular ?Arabic platter ? - (4.7/5)Parking: Often very difficult to find any street parking closeby.Kid-friendliness: Good for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is ground level with no stairs, front door is manual.”

“The food, especially the Spicy Clarice pizza and the Elton pizza, was delicious and affordable. The location is easily accessible by bus, though the interior design is not so good—too busy and noisy. Overall, it's worth recommending.”

“Tried there veggie burger on the very first day. If you looking for some tasty and healthy snack, this is the place. The chef is great and everything tastes authentic.✅”

“This Fat Man, approves of these Fat Boys!Burger and fry combo for lunch was exceptional,Burger was top notch and fries definitely hand cut russets were excellent as well and I'm not even a french fry guy.If your in the area stop in you can't be disappointed. A fat man ain't gonna lie about tasty burgers.”

“Good food, nice people, cozy atmosphere, verry reasonable price. Went years ago and recently got takeout, delicious.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Lots that is gluten free and the staff are typically knowledgeable about the food.”

“We went to try the rolled ice cream. Other items on the menu were not explained and the photos did not really help. If you're not familiar with these desserts which appear either Middle Eastern or South Asian, make sure you bring your food so you can google the dishes. Out server was unable to explain any of it to us in English. The ice cream was quite good, and watching him make it on the cold slab was entertaining. One cup of rolled used cream was about $9.”

“We have been ordering take out from the Orleans location for awhile. OMG, it is so delicious; hot, spicy, tasty and fresh! Just finished a meal tonight with my hubby and it was EXCELLENT!! I just had to share.”

“Went in for some late night drinks with my fiancé and brother. Actually came from the brig because the service there was terrible as usual. When I arrived, I was seated right away. It was pretty busy, but our server was very quick and knowledgeable. We had the all you can eat wings with beer. The wings were consistent and well sauced. 8/10 on the wings. The beet was cheap too and ice cold how I like it. 7/10 on the beer. Now, where this place struggles is the volume. They don't have anything to absorb the sound, so it can get unbareable at times. At one point, I couldn't even hear the person standing right next to me. Definitely soured the night a tad, but it was still a good night.”

“If you’re in ottawa and in the mood for fish definitely visit this place. I had the salmon combo with some rice and tabouli and I cannot explain how wonderful it was. The rice was full of flavour and the salmon was top quality. Not to mention, the portions are extremely generous and the staff are so welcoming and patient. For sure coming back!”

“Enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal with a great friend tonight. The salmon was amazing, the sticky toffee cake was to die for and the service was outstanding. Can't wait til next time.”

“Dixa and Tejal are the sweetest people there, everyone is always friendly and welcoming and the food is great! I love going to see them just because they remember me and make it so personable”

“One of my absolute favourite Ottawa stores to get treats. You can tell that they use quality ingredients and everything tastes fresh and homemade. Have tried most of their desserts by now and would highly recommend the lemon cheesecake, lemon/milk tarts, blueberry sour cream tart, high jinx cookies, sticky buns and their dream bars. But honestly everything is so good you can’t go wrong!”

“I have tried numerous Shawarma places throughout Ottawa. My family and many of my friends have been going to this restaurant for almost 20 years. Their shawarma sandwiches, plates and family platters have a good amount of food, the meat is almost always perfectly moist and tasty.I find when I am working long days outside, a shawarma is the really the only fuel I need to endure the day. I love their tabouleh, and their pickled turnips (yummm - firm and nice pink) and peperoncini peppers (oh yes - not too salty or flimsy) are the best in all the places I've been to.We absolutely love their flatbreads - I personally love the veggie one. Nice and hot in only a few minutes.Service is generally very quick, with the only delays (as expected) right at lunch or supper.The staff are friendly, responsive and helpful.Overall, the booths are kept quite clean.A great place to eat and good value - especially with their discount program for loyalty.”

“You don't go here for the ambiance but the food and service are really good! It's a locally run family owned restaurant that has been around forever! They won't let you down.”

“Great standard bubble tea! I recommend the pearl milk tea, the brown sugar oolong, or the wintermelon milk tea with grass jelly. I like mine with less sugar and less ice but that's my personal taste. This place can get pretty packed but that's honestly a part of the experience. Love it!”

“I offered to buy a round of coffee for the excellent staff at Galerie St.Laurent + Hill down the street. They insisted that I go to Opulence, and I‘m glad I did. Excellent service, great coffee, and Ben was very helpful with his recommendations and attention to detail. I will be back! Thanks again Ben!”

“It briefly came up that I was in town visiting family as my mother is terminally ill..Then I found this very very sweet note on one of our containers. Very touching and meaningful to my family during this very stressful time.Plus, the food was delicious.♡Thank you.”

“Nice little spot, fresh food.Portions are very generous.We go there at least once a month.Weeks are packed for breakfast, but worth the wait.Wheelchair accessibility: Level door way”

“This place is a hidden gem, and we loved their wood oven pizza so much that we had to order a 2nd one.It's the perfect destination for a casual night out or a cozy dinner with friends and family. Don’t forget to try the tiramisu. It’s absolutely delicious!!!Joe & MariaPS looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.”

“really only feasible to go on a monday for the half price wings, as it is hard to justify spending more than $1 per wing when they come with that much meat on them. however there is a great flavour selection and i love trying something new every time i come in.”

“I feel the need to leave a review here after experiencing a wonderful moment of customer service. I have been served by Devon before, and when I opened up my app order (made by her as written on the bag), there were positive messages written on the lids of every bowl. It’s little things like this that make peoples days, it certainly made my family and I’s. This location is great :)”

“Had a great time on a first date here. Nice quaint round booth table on a Tuesday. I would come again for sure. The price was a little high, but everything feels that way nowadays. Etienne was our server and he did a great job! Attentive but not overbearing, he sang and hum to himself as he moved around which was delightful. The only reason the atmosphere was a 4 is because I feel like with the massive opening to the hotel lobby it loses a bit of the restaurant feel and you every once in a while feel like it's not as "cozy"”

“The attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience was truly remarkable. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening or a celebratory gathering with friends and family. The decor was elegant yet cozy, creating a charming ambiance that made us feel right at home.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? Each dish was a masterpiece, expertly crafted with the finest ingredients and bursting with flavour. It's clear that the chefs here are passionate about their craft and dedicated to delivering an unforgettable culinary experience.And let's not forget about the impeccable service. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfection. From helping us navigate the menu to recommending the perfect wine pairing, his expertise added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening.In summary, this Italian restaurant is an absolute gem. Whether you're a food enthusiast looking for an exceptional dining experience or simply craving delicious Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere, this place has it all. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Five stars all the way!”

“I've been for brunch and dinner and I'm gonna keep coming back. Reasonably priced, beautiful restaurant, gorgeous bathrooms, and fantastic food. Haven't had a miss, even when trying food my friends got. No notes.”

“We celebrated my friends birthday there this past weekend and everything was amazing from drinks to food to service. The host station upon entrance, you were greeted with a friendly smile and a have a great night everytime you entered or left the building. The atmosphere was off the charts from music , to lighting to floor lay out. Camille I believe his name was our server and he was knowledgeable, fun, pleasant and efficient ! I am not from the area but if and when I return I will certainly be back ! 5 stars !”

“The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great experience.”

“I did not take a picture of my food but the vermicelli was wonderful! The iced coffee was out of the world.Thank you for the great supper !Kid-friendliness: Easy food, simple tastes for children !”

“As soon as we got there, the servers attended to us, they were very kind and accommodating through the whole experience, they even made my sister a dirty martini which was not on menu but she really wanted it and told them how to make it , food was tasty and fresh , many options to choose from for vegetarian or pescatarian people. It was not too loud but not too boring either and it’s family friendly . Definitely recommend Tucker’s , I will come back again!”

“Nestled in the heart of the city, this culinary gem exceeded expectations, particularly with their divine Lobster Alfredo. Each bite was a harmonious symphony of flavors, with the rich creaminess of the Alfredo sauce beautifully complementing the tender sweetness of the lobster meat.”

“I always come back to this restaurant when I visit Ottawa. It has always been exceptional service, this time the wait was way too long but the serving staff and the food definitely made up for it. I would still highly recommend the restaurant as my last two visits before this one were PHENOMENAL.”

“Amazing it a great word to use. From the time we arrived, seated at our table for our family celebration. The services was impeccable, The Staff (Birjan K and his helper) were the best at helping us with our selections and giving us great advice and finally to Mercedes Gordon for making our evening a memoriable one.. Until the next time...”

“The staff were firing on all cylinders during our visit last Friday! The hostesses greeted us with a smile, our server/bartender Sydney was top notch in anticipating our needs, the managers kept a good eye on everyone and Cam and the kitchen crew were putting out beautiful food!! Our bbq cauliflower was perfectly prepared; crispy, sweet and spicy! Great teamwork everyone!Vegetarian options: great alternatives to meat- especially the delicious bbq cauliflower!!”

“Thanks so much Mark for the exceptional service. He shared his eclipse glasses with us as well as made fantastic cocktails. The food was great. 10/10 we’ll be back.”

“Though we were a big group, service stayed understanding and quickly responded, lot of circulation and great care of their customers.Very knowledgeable of their products and are happy to help identify what drink could meet well with your meal.8/10”

“Sadaf and the rest of the employees here are amazing! Super friendly, fast service and the food is always perfect. Gotta love having a place like this in the neighborhood!”

“The service was amazing! Our server even offered to take a photo for us. The food came out very fast. The brussels sprouts were great, definitely recommend them! The jack fruit burger reminds me of a pulled pork sandwich it had great flavour profile and the portions are perfect. The menu isn’t very big, but I was surprised to see a couple vegetarian options. The atmosphere is very nice. We were sat in the back room which allowed for the noise to be broken up a little bit and gave a sense of privacy. I really enjoyed dining with them, and I will be visiting again!”

“Been there several times. Love the taste. Probably the best Pakistani taste you can get in Ottawa and at very reasonable price. We had iftar buffet today it was amazing, specialy fish pakora and they kept refilling it with freshly made fish and fries. Would surely recommend it and there breakfast is a must try too????”

“The food here is incredible. The butter chicken and Momos especially! Service is prompt and done with a smile. Price is good as well for a date night or serving a large group. Seems like they get a lot of take out orders too, which is a good sign.The atmosphere inside could be more personalized. The music is a bit loud and it was just recently acquired from an old Irish pub, and the dining area still feels like that without a renovation or more decor.”

“They serve great quality and quantity of Indian FoodWE DESI is my go to place when I want to eat authentic Indian Street Food because they serve everything fresh and staff extremely ”

“This place is a must go if you want to try Turkish food in Ottawa. Owner is a very kind person and service is excellent with generous portions. Highly recommend!”

“I ordered takeout. The rice noodle is good and clean, and it doesn’t have any advanced technology. The fried and grilled sausages are also good but a little expensive. The braised eggs are delicious and fresh. This is the shrimp. 7 frozen white shrimps cost 17 dollars. It was so bad. It feels like being brutally stabbed a dozen times”
