I was getting my car serviced a couple of doors down and had my baby with me so I decided to go grab a coffee while I waited..well, the smell as soon as I walked in had me hungry instantly so I got some samosas for my wait, umm yum! I ended up leaving with a bag full of food, and all I have to say is, wow! The unmatchable customer service from the 2 ladies that served me unbelievable. Highly recommend! Thank you so much ladies I give your customer service 10 stars ❤️”

“Amazing experience at Harvey’s! The food was fresh, hot, and made exactly how I wanted it. The burgers were juicy, the fries were perfectly crispy, and the toppings bar was well stocked. The staff was friendly, quick, and very welcoming, which made the visit even better. Great quality, great service, and consistent every time. Definitely coming back!”
“Shoutout to All Out Burger in Embrun!! Hands down my new favorite takeout joint!! I live in casselman and im commiting to this amazing food heaven! Im only upset that I waited a whole year before stopping by after it opened. Yes they deliver in casselman for a small fee just call them and you will be immediatly hooked to their food!!!”
“One word: WOW!!! We were greeted by the warm and inviting presence of our incredibly attentive server, Shaw. She was beyond stellar, going above and beyond to create a fantastic and personal guest experience. My partner and I dined here for the Valentine’s day special, visiting this spot for the first time - and were SO impressed with the food, drink selection, service, speed of service (!!), and atmosphere. In my opinion, this is the go-to spot for date night in Ottawa. I could not say more than .. total perfection!! We will be returning and requesting a table in Shaw’s section for SURE!!! Thank you to the kitchen team and service staff for an exceptional evening. I have not been this wowed by the Ottawa food scene in a long time. Absolutely visit this spot if you are looking for a welcoming but upscale dining experience. It simply cannot be beat.”

“Went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. A very delicious widespread of food! We were not disappointed. Amazing customer service, cute drinks, and yummy food. What more could we ask for?! One of our favourites was their unique dinner for two, fried chicken pizza and salad! Very filling, a good contrast, and not greasy! We will definitely be back!”
“Dining at Moul Hanout in Ottawa was an unforgettable experience that transported me straight to Morocco. From the moment I stepped into the cozy eatery, I was greeted with the warm hospitality of owners Souhail Bouachri and Kawtar Boutbaa, a husband-and-wife duo from Essaouira. Their passion for authentic Moroccan cuisine shines through in every dish. I savored the chicken tajine, a delightful combination of tender chicken, olives, and fries, all simmered in a flavorful sauce. The seafood pastilla was equally impressive, with a crisp pastry enveloping a generous filling of shrimp and vermicelli noodles. Each meal was complemented by a complimentary cup of refreshing Moroccan mint tea. The owners' stories of their hometown and their commitment to preserving Moroccan culinary traditions made the dining experience even more special. Whether you're a connoisseur of Moroccan cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, Moul Hanout offers a genuine taste of Morocco that feels like a home away from home.”
“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!”
“My friend and I wanted to try some Mexican food, so we stumbled upon Torta Boyz online. From the first bite, we were impressed! The food, drinks, appetizers, and desserts were all amazing. The service was fantastic as well. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—I will definitely be returning!”
“I had an amazing experience at Cafe Tehran.
The lamb chops were perfectly grilled, tender, and full of flavor. You can immediately taste the quality of the meat and the care put into the seasoning. The saffron basmati rice was aromatic, fluffy, and cooked just right. Exactly how Persian rice should be.
The plate was generous and beautifully balanced with fresh salad and grilled tomato, which completed the meal perfectly. Every bite felt authentic and comforting, like real home style Persian cuisine done at a professional level.
If you’re looking for high quality Persian food with rich flavors, excellent portions, and consistent taste, Cafe Tehran is a place you won’t regret. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others.”

“Without a doubt, one of the funnest evenings I’ve had in years. Food and drinks were reasonably priced delicious and well versatile for any pallet. Hundreds of different styles of board games and game consoles to choose from. Enjoy laughing stories and games with up to four people. Definitely would recommend they open more locations across Canada. 🇨🇦”
“Great venue, good location; commitment to quality of food, food sourcing and service make this one of the best places in Westboro if not Ottawa. The ambiance is subdued, classy and classic with a clear inspiration from the art deco. I wish it were quieter but the company is always impressed when we go. Keep up the good work!”
“This is being written as a honest review as they are not a client of ours. (maybe one day) They are extremely friendly, walking in, you are properly greeted, wait time, less than 10 mins. Food is simply some of the best I have ever tasted. Extremely comparable to actually going to Montreal!!! The smoked meat actually melts in your mouth, the fries are better than most chip stands!!!! Awesome job guys!!! We visited today Oct 27th around 2:30 ish.”
“What a wonderful evening we had, the staff are very knowledgeable, they take pride in their work and they work hard to make sure the clients have a great experience. Our server was also the bartender, he provided excellent recommendations and mixed a mean Negroni Sbagliatto! Our pizza's were outstanding, it's become our favourite place to come for well made pizza, and the Canolli are not to be missed, freshly filled on order to keep the shell perfectly crisp, very generous amount of pistachio, and the perfect amount of sweetness. Retro Gusto has quickly become one of our favourite restaurants in Ottawa.”
“Arguable the best pizza I've ever eaten. So good I had to let the owner know. I've tried alot in my lifetime and nothing compared to this spot, its in a bracket of its own.
I tried to buy a coffee cup as a reminder of the spot, I know a coffee cup from a pizza joint, but it was a cool cup. But Eric (the owner) or maybe co-owner, gave me one for free.
As a maritimer visiting ottawa on a work trip, I've heard of the spot and don't get me wrong. I understand people have their views on pizza, but this was light, crust was crispy, and it sit well when picking up a slice.
I tried the deluxe I believe, I wanted to stay on the safe side for a first timer, but I'll definitely be trying more if or when I get the chance to go back.

24 Hour Restaurants
“I recommend Kettlemans as the food is good and they have good variety. That said. The service is sub-par. My wife and I stop here regularly on Sunday Mornings about 7 am 2 or 3 times a month. Consistently nobody greets us even though there are many workers who make eye contact and just keep doing whatever they're doing. More often than not we have to call out to get attention after waiting several minutes at the front counter. Management doesn't seem to value customer service and simply expects people to keep coming back as if Kettlemans' history entitles them to customers. That is a surprising attitude in an otherwise excellent store.”
“I was served by Cas and she was absolutely amazing! Always smiling, very helpful, and super quick. I was honestly impressed by her customer service and her kindness. I’ve been coming to this Tim Horton for many years and I’ve never been disappointed, but Cas is the first employee who made me want to leave a review. Thank you for the great service!”
“I got a tuna sandwich from Subway and it was really good! The bread was fresh, the tuna tasted great, and all the veggies were crisp and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and made the sandwich just the way I liked it. Quick service, clean place, and a solid meal — can’t go wrong with Subway!”
“We held my nephew’s 9th birthday at this location (9 of us total) and everything was so great! Katie took our massive order and didn’t make one mistake- she even made sure to come to our table to make sure everyone got what they ordered! Also, Colin was so friendly; he arranged and cleaned a bunch of tables for our crew to sit at. We can’t wait to go back- best McDonalds ever! Thank you Katie and Colin!”
“my absolute favorite place! the Golden sesame ramen may just be the greatest thing I've had in years!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Been coming here since I was a kid. Whether you come every week or skip a year or five, the familiar faces always welcoming you back. This makes Louis the best restaurant and the best pizza in Ottawa. Thank you for making it feel like home. Meat lovers, fries and the best gravy in Town.”
“On average we get take out from Sula Wok once per week. We love the food and the vibe of the place. (Sula and her gang are also very nice to deal with). I really like the traditional Pad Thai. Recently, Sula asked that I try a slightly new version of the dish (apparently less fishy). Sula asked that I let her know if I liked it or not. While I thought the taste was a little different (maybe not as spicy or “fishy”), I still loved it and will be ordering it again.”
“I'm a steak loving meat eater, but I had a craving for some vegetables and thought I should add a few extra minutes to the end of my life with something healthy to eat. This place did not disappoint 👏... everything was beyond delicious, and also filling and satisfying, If I knew how to cook vegetables like this I could give up meat.”
“Had the best time hosting our group party here! The vegan and glutenfree options were fantastic! 🍲”

“First time trying the pizza here at Giovanni’s Snack Bar and Pizzeria. Absolutely delicious!! Ordered the Margarita Pizza. Giovanni was extremely kind from the moment I walked in until I left today. I would highly recommend choosing Giovanni’s the next time you are craving pizza or when you’re in the area!”

Fine Dining
“I enjoyed the smoky cocktail- but t was a little too smoky for my taste ( I could still smell it in my hair the next day). We both started with oysters, which were perfect. I had the steak ( cooked to perfection- rare/ med) and my friend the elk rigatoni. Both were very well prepared, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. A more extensive wine bottle and by the glass list would be appreciated. Service was very good, but our warm and accommodating waitress could benefit from more familiarity with the beverage and meal menu to inform and guide customers choices. We enjoyed our time and conversation and would have appreciated being able to sit a little later ( beyond 10 pm). Bookending the meal with complimentary house made amuse bouche and sweets is such special treat. Thank you for the overall lovely hospitality, delicious food, suave ambiance and pleasant experience. Will certainly return.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and experience at NEXT. Lovely dining room Wilyveteran nice ambiance I had the crispy duck confit with risotto. Prepared well and delicious My starter was the bao buns with crispy pork..delicious. I only could manage one and the other came hoe to enjoy My husbands meal was just as good. He thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb shank and he raved about. Portions were not all that big but rich and filling Overall a very pleasant dining experience and I would highly recommend”
“My wife and I hired Keerthi to design and make the wedding cake for our October wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the warmth and care that she put into making sure the cake was just perfect for us! We tried quite a few flavours and ended up sticking with the maple apple cake, which went along with the fall vibes of the wedding perfectly! I was worried that our request for a black cake would be difficult to pull off, but she knocked it out of the park and the guests at our wedding were RAVING about it.
Thank you so much, I cannot recommend Keerthi enough.”
“As a wedding photographer, I always want couples to walk away from events with a little treat that leaves a lasting impression – and Batter Up Bakery absolutely delivered! I ordered a batch of custom cookies for a wedding venue open house, and they were a huge hit with everyone who attended. Jamie-Lynn nailed the simple, elegant design I envisioned, and the cookies tasted absolutely delicious. Working with her was such a joy – she’s attentive, creative, and so easy to communicate with. If you're looking for sweet treats that look and taste amazing, I can't recommend Batter Up Bakery enough! 🌟”
“Amuse was such a special treat this evening for our anniversary!. so glad we finally got to try this little gem in Bridlewood. Service was excellent and the food was spectacular! we will be back!”

“Geoff and his staff at Morning Owl Woodward prepared a delicious sandwich, veggie, fruit and pastry lunch for our staff at Halpenny Insurance. Morning Owl is a real gem in the Carlington community. Amazing service, exceptional coffee and food, and wonderful catering. Geoff and his staff always greet their customers with a smile and bend over backwards for anyone who visits. Many thanks!”
“Had just the best, freshest dinner this week there . The staff are so helpful and it was fun getting to have a “ bowl” with exactly what you want to eat! The owner was actually there very pleasant man. Interesting and truly a delight. I never heard of this place or been there and I’m really really happy I found out about it. I’ll be back for sure.. thank you Mad Radish for a healthy great dinner at a reasonable price.”
“(I would have given this place a FIVE STAR rating, but as well as vegan dishes, they also serve animals, which is horrific. So…) Excellent, friendly service! VERY CLEAN! The vegan food was AMAZING!! SO flavourful, and filling!! (I had General Tso's V Chickun) I'll be back for more from their vegan menu. :)”

“Went here yesterday, really loved the ambience and the reflect of Nepali culture as the interior. I loved all food, everything was delicious. My favorite was the selroti achar and chowmein with their chutney. It gave me a typical Nepali taste and it felt so good. The service was lovely. Thank you so much for serving us and making our experience beautiful overall. Special thanks to the cook and the friendly young guy and girl who was in the cashier. Definitely recommend when you visit Ottawa and you’re craving some good Nepali food!”
“My sister and I really enjoyed our Chicken Souvlaki dinners. The salad, rice, potatoes and chicken were all 10/10. I wish I got 2 skewers instead of one. My sister says it was the best chicken souvlaki she's ever had. I would have to agree 😁”
“We have visited twice so far and the food is always délicieux. We can't get enough of the Rosebowl Platter for 2. Can't go wrong with this option. You get a little bit of everything.”
“This spot has incredible ramen - it’s my absolute favourite in town!
Their broth’s are incredibly rich, but no overpowering. The noodles are chewy with a bit of bite, and the picked ginger really adds to the flavours in the black garlic ramen.”
“Ate here for the first time to celebrate our 36th Anniversary. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. We felt like very special guests. We will return.”
“From the moment we walked in the service was attentive and friendly. The bread and dips are a flavour journey and the kebab platter left my mouth watering long after the meal was over!”

“Went to Fatboys for the first time tonight and it won’t be our last. After waiting for a seat we were met by the owner who welcomed us and told us we would enjoy the food and he wasn’t wrong we had the Kentucky shared platter and it was definitely filling and the price was affordable. Our server was Emma who filled our drinks and told us what food was coming and what dips were available. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Will definitely be back”
“We had a great experience with our online order of 2 chicken grills. The food was ready to be picked up about 30 minutes after the order. The chicken grills were plentiful and absolutely delicious. A great experience!”
“I had the pleasure of eating at their second location this evening.(carling ave.) ordered take out. My incredible experience started from the second I walked into this place. Not only is it clean and renovated very nicely, the customer service was incredible. unfortunately I'm not the best with remembering names, however the young lady that helped me was just amazing. The cooks were also great and very friendly. The food was absolutely amazing! The chef whos name begins with a J...was on point. I ordered the sausage pie. The dough on this pie was fresh, savory and left me wanting more and more..Every ingredient just went well with the other.( wishing I ordered more😋) The daily soup was also Fantastic 😋. I highly recommend this place and will certainly be back. Being in the food industry myself and being a cook/chef for 15 years of my life, this was a very pleasant surprise and its just down the road. 👏 Great job to everyone there and look forward to seeing you in my next visit. support local 😇”
“I've been eatting Greeks to go since 2006. I've moved acrossed the country and I crave them so much. They have remembered me and when I come back to Ottawa, they are very accommodating. Every single time I go back, I HAVE to have their delicious food. If you want to try, mouth water food, eat here. Want great serve, eat here. Want a meal you won't forget, EAT HERE..... Mmmmmmm, now I wish I was there, trust me, its that good.”
“Really great food. Really good customer service. The wait times for the food were a little on the long side but it was full on Valentine's Day so it's expected. Really amazing experience overall.”
“This cozy little sushi spot is family-owned and run by a lovely mother-daughter duo, which gives it such a personal and welcoming touch. The space is quite small, but it has a warm and comfortable vibe that makes you feel right at home. They also offer daily specials during the week, which is a nice bonus and shows they care about keeping things fresh and interesting.
I tried both the Tuna Love and Salmon Love combos. Personally, the tuna didn’t impress me much — it lacked the same freshness and flavor that I was hoping for. The salmon, on the other hand, was absolutely fantastic — fresh, buttery, and perfectly cut. I’d honestly go back just for that combo alone.
The gyoza was the only slight disappointment, as it tasted more like something cooked from frozen rather than made in-house. Still, that’s a small trade-off considering how great the salmon sushi was overall.
If you’re looking for a warm, family-run sushi spot with quality salmon and friendly service, this place is a hidden gem worth checking out!”
“The perfect downtown Ottawa pub, great crowd, friendly staff and the best, best BEST burger in town !”
“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.”
“Servers can make all the difference when dining out. Destiny, our server, was awesome, providing just the right amount of service without being underserved or intrusive. Destiny was friendly, welcoming and polite, she seemed to really enjoy her job. Best wishes Destiny!”
“We had a reservation at corner peach for a big group to celebrate a birthday, the food was great but service was excellent, thanks to our super warm and friendly waitress, Thank you!”

“Love this wonderful wine bar. Great wine with delicious charcuterie boards. The ambiance is very cozy and it is an inviting atmosphere.”
“What a discovery to walk into Carlingwood Mall in the West End of Ottawa, Ontario and find this hidden gem of a restaurant. The buffet was delectable with abundant choice of fresh salads and traditional Pakistani/Indian recipes. The butter chicken was delicious and tender. The tandoori and beef dishes were done to perfection. And there was more than enough choice for vegetarians. The pricing is great and the friendly serving staff most helpful. Ask for their wonderful garlic and red pepper hot sauce. Heavenly!”
“Excellent service. Food amazing especially the crêpe. Very warm atmosphere. Will definitely go back 😊”
“Incredibly delicious pizza! The crust is pretty special…light and crispy but not overly done. High quality toppings. It’s evident that a lot of care and pride goes into their cooking.”
“This is one of the best restaurants in Ottawa! Very welcoming staff, excellent quality and portions with affordable cost. Add to this the location, availability of parking, and the cozy atmosphere. 10/10”

“We went tonight for our friend’s birthday. Food was amazing, drinks were good, service was excellent. 10/10 recommend. Note it is small inside, very quaint. As a person with a young baby, I won’t be bringing her (my daughter) there; we’ll keep it for a date night 😅”
“Great place, top level ingredients. We reserved the spot so no wait.
It's a great place if you have some important guests to treat. The atomosphere is awesome and the dishes are fancy, but not necessarily priceworthy. These premium parts also gonna reflect on the bill.”
“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.”
“Fabulous place with Great food and Service!! You should definitely give it a try. Have gone a few times now and every time has been great.”

“Amazing staff, super friendly, and ready to help without being pushy or overbearing. The menu is varied, fairly priced and the pizza especially is *chefs kiss*. Popular enough the taps are always fresh and something new to try frequently. Love coming for a drink and meal enough it's becoming a regular haunt.”
“Wow wow wow Excellent service and the sautéed shrimp delicious 😋 Can’t wait to go back”
“For over twenty years, we have been making wine from juice bought from Carmen and Silvano at Musca Wine Making Supplies. The finished wine is amazing. They are generous with their time and knowledge, and buying our supplies from them is a joy.”
“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.”
“What an amazing team and experience! We had our September wedding at Lago in the Vista Room and received so many compliments on our location, the beautiful scenery over Dow’s Lake, and how the smaller room was the perfect size for our intimate wedding. But for me, all compliments go to Lago’s incredible wedding planning team. Gyneya and her team are so attentive; they were constantly on the ball on the day of our wedding, ensuring that all of our needs were met. The bride and groom spend so much time catering to guests, but the Lago team made absolute sure that we were truly pampered. They gave us a much needed moment to breathe and soak it all in, ensured our timeline ran incredibly smoothly, made sure that we were never left in search of a drink and that food was always readily available. Thank you so much to this team for being part of our magical day!”
“As always, a fabulous experience from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. Love supporting this family run business that has been a fixture in my hometown for over 30 years. Basil and family - you never disappoint! A great place to celebrate my last birthday of my 40’s (shhh, I kept that quiet). Cheers to you all! ❤️🥂”
“Discovered this restaurant today and happy we did. The food was excellent, great experience allowing us to cook our meal while chatting. Attentive service, excellent quality. A lot of food in the options. We really loved the experience and will definitely return.”

“Delicious uncomplicated food Smart fun service Big portions Nice lighting”
“We ordered soy garlic chicken, hot pepper chicken, and a few noodle dishes. The chicken was great and flavourful. I found it quite expensive, though, but you get a larger quantity. So, good if you're going with a few people to share. Wish they had a combo where you could choose different types of fried chicken and try a couple at a time. The space is on the smaller side, so be prepared to wait or take out.”
“This is the third time we have had lunch at Kallisto's- and we will definitely be back again. Our meals this afternoon were delicious (lamb brochette & shrimp brochette platters), the servings were generous and the service, as always, was warm and efficient. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that on Wednesdays, wine is half-price. What a deal! My 92 year old mother took advantage of this offer but as for me... I can't keep up to her even before a glass of wine. Do yourselves a favour and check-out this wonderful restaurant.”
“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!”
“Amazing food, amazing staff. Absolutely loved our experience!!”
“great space, awesome knowledgeable staff, incredible wine list and they were even able to accommodate a fussy vegan with fresh flavourful food.”
“Suki, Thank you for the warm welcome and great service today. This is the second time I bring my co-workers to Mill St Pub, not only for the great beer and food, but the wonderful sercice which is always done with a smile and the occasional hug ;-) looking forward to returning soon. Hope you will still be there - I have a feeling the place would not be the same without you ;-) p.s. Amy... thank you so very much for accommodating us despite my booking on the wrong day, especially at this busy time of the year. We will return, that is for certain. Merry Christmas to you and your staff.”

“I have been going to Golden Baguette for about 10 years now! Everything is fresh and tasty with great prices. The owners are a lovely couple always greeting me with a warm smile. My go-to is their Wonton soup! It's so yummy and filling! I live in the east end but my offices are only a 10-minute walk from their location, so i was worried that the pandemic might force them to close but luckily, they are still the best hidden gem on Bank Street! Depending on my work schedule I go there once or twice a week because I crave their comfort food! I LOVE Golden Baguette!!”
“I visited this pizzeria recently and ordered the GIANNI while my friend had the POMPEI. Both pizzas were excellent featuring a nice thin crust and quality ingredients. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant. If you're in the mood for authentic Italian pizza, I would absolutely recommend this pizzeria.”

“Had dinner with a friend a couple of days ago and had an overall good experience but there was room for improvement. I ordered the coquilles st jacques. While the scallops were cooked well the purée lacked flavour.. missing that hit of cheese. I had to use some lemon to liven the dish a bit. My friend had the streak frites, medium rare that came rare. We had the kitchen bring to temp. I had a bite and it was tender and flavourful. I will return to try more from the menu and see how it goes. A great place either way for atmosphere and drinks.”
“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.”
“This was our third year in a row hosting a large dinner (13 people) in the private room downstairs, and each and every time it's been the perfect experience. The AV equipment is a breeze to set up, we control the volume of the music and the temperature in the room. That space, the team, the set menu they offer- just the best!”
“Amazing experience at Harvey’s! The food was fresh, hot, and made exactly how I wanted it. The burgers were juicy, the fries were perfectly crispy, and the toppings bar was well stocked. The staff was friendly, quick, and very welcoming, which made the visit even better. Great quality, great service, and consistent every time. Definitely coming back!”

“Went here yesterday, really loved the ambience and the reflect of Nepali culture as the interior. I loved all food, everything was delicious. My favorite was the selroti achar and chowmein with their chutney. It gave me a typical Nepali taste and it felt so good. The service was lovely. Thank you so much for serving us and making our experience beautiful overall. Special thanks to the cook and the friendly young guy and girl who was in the cashier. Definitely recommend when you visit Ottawa and you’re craving some good Nepali food!”
“This place made me feel like if I was in Italy once again! The food was great and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We shared a sandwich between two people since the portions were big. And we finished it off with 2 cannoli. The atmosphere was definitely pleasant, very relaxed. You can play some board games while you wait for the food. Will come back to try the other sandwiches.”
“Wonderful dining experience!
We had an amazing time at this Turkish restaurant Sultan Sulyman. The food was absolutely delicious—rich flavors, perfectly cooked meats, and fresh, authentic ingredients. The kebabs were tender and full of flavor, and the bread was warm and freshly baked.
The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Everything arrived quickly and beautifully presented.
If you’re looking for genuine Turkish cuisine with great service and a lovely ambiance, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended”
“My first time to Barrio with my daughter and two friends was a very fun time. We enjoyed the flavourful drinks and the shared appetizers- a salad and carpaccio ( thinly sliced vegetable dish). We each chose a main which we also shared. The salmon, chicken and braised beef were all delicious.
We talked ourselves into sharing the chocolate dessert and the three milk cake. A good decision.
Our waitress was friendly and accommodating. At the end I ordered a take out sandwich which she carefully packed each food item separately so nothing got soggy.
The Latino decor was refreshing and inviting. I hope to return soon.”
“An absolute must for sushi connoisseurs
Perfectly cooked and seasoned rice, high quality seafood that has been skillfully prepared and melts in your mouth! I ordered the Chirashi, my usual go-to, and was not disappointed - hands down the best I’ve had in many years. If you love good sushi, you don’t want to miss out on this hidden gem. Make yourself a reservation - it’s well worth the trip, even if you don’t live in Orleans.”
“Very cute little restaurant just off of the main street, the food was absolutely divine and the waitress was so so polite about everything and incredibly helpful in teaching us how we should eat the food we ordered and was quick to answer about ingredients in the fish sauce to prevent an allergic reaction with a bright smile the whole time, i would absolutely recommend to anyone new to Vietnamese food.
The food is delicious and the staff is top notch, theres no reason not to eat here”
