“Delicious Dal Fry and Kardai Chicken. Rich flavour and texture on both. (But I will skip the raita next time -- too watery!)”
“Delicious food and good ambience are the definition for this restaurant. Everything was perfect. Feels like eating in India after a long time.
Vegetarian options: Paneer tikka and veg Manchurian”
“Had a lovely evening at Cafe Tehran this week with a small group of friends. We all loved what we ordered, from the traditional Iranian soup, to the chicken kebabs, to the Ghormeh Sabzi Stew, to the DIZI. Beautiful flavours and perfect tummy warming food in this cold weather. Highly recommend and the servings are HUGE.”
“Wholesome friendly service, quaint and cozy space, delicious and unique food and drink. Highly recommend!!”

“We had two different pizzas and both were perfectly done. Fresh tasting ingredients and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been ordering from Bytown Tiffin for the past month, and it’s been fantastic! The food always tastes homemade and fresh, with a great variety to keep things interesting. Delivery is super reliable, and the whole service is really convenient. If you’re looking for a solid tiffin service, Bytown Tiffin is definitely worth trying!”
“I find it tough to find good take-out salads. I just had a delicious spinach with feta, pumpkin seeds and cranberries salad from Pop’s. So good!”
“So... there should be a 5 stars plus rating. 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 ❤️”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There was a delightful selection of pastries and 4 types of homemade preserves, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, turkey, ham, sausage, potatoes, cheeses, cereals, yogurt amongst other delightfully items. It was $20 which included your beverage also. I highly recommend this breakfast buffet. 😊”

“Majid our waiter was super nice, efficient and the food was brought to our table in a very coordinated well (hummus and babaghanoug and the salad before the grillades). We didn’t feel at any point that we were missing something at the table and he was very generous and courteous”
“The food was excellent quality, fresh, tasty & prepared quickly. Adequate staffing for peak periods & they were friendly & had full knowledge of menu items & specials. The dining area was clean & comfortable as well as inviting & spacious. Facilities were average. Plenty of parking available. Been here many times & will definitely return with friends & family. Thanks BK Bronson Staff! 😁

“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!”
“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.”
“My family really loves to eat here.I celebrated my birthday tonight and we had fun we’re all satisfied.It is worth the price!!I also appreciate Sherry for serving us.She is really nice and patient even if we never stopped ordering.Thank you so much!!”

“we went here for Father's day and was greatly pleased. The smoked meat was fresh and delicious. fries and onion rings were great. It was clean and the service was awesome. all the staff and kind and pleasant. it was a great experience, would highly recommend and will go back.”
“Food was very good. I had the beet, apple and ginger soup, arancini and tres leche tiramisu. All dishes I would order again. My dining mates had the short rib and the duck - both great as well. Service was very good. My only comment would be the side order of bread was okay.”
“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.”
“Bar Lupulus – Elevated Flavours in a Cozy Corner of Wellington West Had a wonderful evening at Bar Lupulus. The meal was creative and full of flavour—each dish offered a unique twist and was beautifully presented. While it's a little on the pricier side, it never felt over the top—well worth it for the quality and experience. The service was excellent: warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about both the food and the impressive drink list. The only downside was that it was a little noisy, especially as the evening went on—something to keep in mind if you're hoping for quiet conversation. Still, the lively atmosphere added to the charm, and we'd absolutely return for another night of bold, delicious food in a stylish, bustling spot.”
“As a visitor to Canada, I must say, this was singlehandedly the best food experience we had in 14 days in here (and we eat out every day through Toronto, Montréal, Québec, Kingston and Ottawa. Well worth the visit.”
“Everything about this place was amazing! The tortas were the best we’ve ever had - super flavourful and authentic. Drinks were also amazing. Service was friendly and attentive, music was great. 10/10”

“I always stop by this Tim Hortons for my cold brew in afternoon, and the service is consistently great. Tayaba is especially friendly and welcoming, she remembers my order and always makes sure everything’s perfect. It’s a small thing, but it really makes the experience better. Appreciate the great service!”
“Best A&W I’ve been to. It’s nice and open with tall ceilings right when you walk in, and a nice patio out front.
The food was super fresh and the burgers were juicy. Definitely recommend sitting in and having your drink in a CHILLED MUG, a first for me in fast food.
They have a nice beverage and condiment area which has a handwashing sink and direct access to the dishwasher to give your dishes back.
Overall a nice experience. For some reason the floors are super slippery when wet, so maybe more rugs near the door and ordering area would help.
Dietary restrictions: They offer free lettuce wraps on their sandwiches. Great for people with gluten intolerances or are on a low carb diet!”
“I went in with my little sister, took a while ordering the food, but the cashier was super nice and helpful. We didn’t know how to open the door for the bathroom and he was more then happy to help with that too
Kid-friendliness: Great patience when he came to my little sister ordering her food”
“We ordered takeout last night, and loved it! The portions were very generous, and everything was delicious. The service was excellent too;our order was ready quickly and the hostess was very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely be ordering here again.”
“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!”

Takeout Restaurants
“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 family enjoyed a take-out meal last night from Sula Wok. I would describe it as incredibly tasty, evocative flavours, large portion sizes and generally a fantastic gastronomical delight! The chicken samosas were the best I have had anywhere in Ottawa, in short - awesome. The mango-ginger sauce for the samosas was also exceptional. My entrèe was the Tibetan Fried noodles with tofu. The portion was generous and carefully prepared. The spices were delightful, the vegetables were fresh, plentiful and throughout the meal rather than just placed on top. Every bite was delicious. Thank you Sula Wok for the best take-out meal I have enjoyed in years! I highly recommend this restaurant. It definitely deserves a five star rating.”
“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 ordered from uber eats so I can’t really say much about atmosphere but service and food were both amazing!! Sushi was fresh and delicious. I would definitely go out of my way to eat here again.”
“(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. :)”

“Ate here 2 nights in a row and ate the exact same meal both nights. I had the butter fish crudo and the tartare. Flavours in both were super yummy. Atmosphere was really nice too. I didn’t have any of the cocktails but was watching them make them and they all looked so good!!”
“My wife and my favourite food in the world are meat and cheese pies. Everyone needs to try these pies and then add them to their lives as a staple food. There’s nothing like ordering pies and eating them right away in your car. So flavourful, so gooey and cheesy. Get them with spice and lemon juice, Omg! I feel like I’m writing an erotic novel rather than a review but they are that amazing!”
“Great food and quick service at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and the portions were huge. The taste was also very authentic. The only problems were atmosphere and cleanliness. I can give the dirty bathroom that seems to be doubling as a storage locker a pass, as that seems to be the norm even at high-end Chinese places, but the music was really a pain. We went in the early evening when there was only a few tables - mostly couples on dates - but for some reason they were playing really loud, bad electronic club music with really trashy, exploitative videos of girls "dancing" in sleazy-looking night-clubs. Maybe they primarily have a student clientele this appeals to? But I've never seen something like it in a Chinese restaurant in either North America or Asia before, and it came across as really trashy and damaged what was otherwise a great experience. Consider keeping that stuff for later at night, if at all. I would have given them five stars without this issue.”
“Was there with my mother for lunch. The mixed grill for 2 is absolutely incredible.
We were served by a lovely young gentleman by the name of Kerem who provided us with the best service we have had in a restaurant in recent memory. Absolutely love this place.”
“AMAZING food! High quality Restaurant food for a take out. Try the eggplant quorma, or lamb shank or the shami platters. So so so good, can’t recommend this place enough!!”
Fine Dining
“I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner experience in Ottawa that truly deserves praise. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was refined and inviting—elegant without being pretentious. The service was exceptional, with Oliwier as our waiter. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, adding a personal touch that elevated the entire evening.
The food? Absolutely divine. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Everything from start to finish felt carefully
curated, and it was clear the kitchen takes pride in both taste and artistry.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for an upscale dining experience with charm and grace.”
“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.”
“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! 🌟”

Cheap Eats
“Was recommended this place to come pick up sandwiches when we had the Ontario volleyball championships here a few weeks ago.
Definitely a recommend and a must when visiting Ottawa. Can see why this is probably the number one sandwich spot in Ottawa.
The meat is fresh and they sandwiches are loaded.
It’s also a big bang for your buck. Very great value at $10 taxes in for any sandwich on the menu. And when i was carrying the bag, can i just say, these were heavy little guys too!
They also take online orders so you can have it ready to be picked up when you go.
Oh, also the cannolis. One of the best I’ve had in awhile. And do t get one, you’re gonna regret not getting a second one.
Service was decent and you might be skeptical when you first walk in as it looks like an old school convenience store. But everyone was so impressed with the sandwich. The coaches even asked to have it a second time around for the second day.
Parking is tough if there’s a lot of people. There’s a small parking lot but looks like many people also park on the street to make a quick stop to pick up and go. So highly recommend placing your orders online.
Also got a veal sandwich which was great but i believe the sandwich is the star of the show here.
Great job overall!”
“Everything is crafted with so much intention, attention and care - and you can definitely taste it. The owner is very welcoming and generous.The combinations of flavours are very harmonious and nothing is artificially (or too) sweet. We tried the shortbreads (orange and pistachio) and a spiced German cookie. Everything was perfect in consistency and flavour. So happy this kind of bakery is in town!”
“Taco 🌮 Tuesdays are a great deal. Chicken or beef, both are delicious. Everything is very fresh. The tortilla soup is epic, it's my favourite. They are easy to find, have ample parking, as well as picnic tables if you want to eat there. Fast, efficient, and the food is made by a man who is as talented as he is kind.”
“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!”

“WOW great food, great atmosphere and most of all our server Kady was phenomenal! Very respectful, kind, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. Would definitely recommend this location in Ottawa and ask for Kady!!! 💕 🍹🍸”
“The Manx pub is a great place. Not very big, lots of atmosphere. Food is great, large portions and reasonably priced 😁 *****”
“Truly authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Have tried many dishes, and each one did not disappoint. The staff are amazing and friendly. I highly recommend this hidden gem.”
“The perfect downtown Ottawa pub, great crowd, friendly staff and the best, best BEST burger in town !”

“Tried this ramen spot recently and really enjoyed it! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. The ambience is warm and inviting—perfect for a cozy meal. Service was friendly and attentive. My only gripe is that they only offer pork options—NO chicken or seafood, which limits choices for those with dietary preferences. Still, if you're a pork ramen fan, it's definitely worth a visit!”
“Super cool spot first time coming in, food and drinks were good we got chicken nachos and a couple drinks, totally recommend for a date night or with a couple friends”
“Hungry Human menu item are delicious and very filling. Easily splitable and you pick two sides. I skipped breakfast and had the item for lunch. I will be full till 6:00 pm at least. Very good.”
“Great thin crust fresh pizza! Loved the mushroom one we ate it to fast to snap a picture 😂 it’s called the “Bank” mushroom pizza. Eat it fresh while it’s hot to truly enjoy!!”
“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.”
“Ayaan is the GOAT/greatest of all time!!!! And the food is mouthwatering!!! :) Written by Jeremiah, 9 years old..”
“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!”
“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.”
“Delicious drink, awesome staff, hyped to come back and try the crepes!”
“As a chef, I can honestly say I’ve tried many restaurants in Ottawa. We cooks tend to spend our days off searching for that “holy grail” spot—where great food and exceptional service come together. While the food is obviously important, most of us agree that outstanding service can elevate the entire experience beyond the plate. At Rowan, both elements were perfectly aligned—and that’s a rare find in Ottawa. Amber, who works the bar like a true artist, greeted us with a warm smile, even though we arrived at the busiest time: a Saturday night, and without a reservation. She still managed to find us a great spot at the bar, where we enjoyed an incredible meal. The food was seriously delicious—beautifully presented, generously portioned, and incredibly fresh. The menu isn’t extensive, but that’s a big plus in my book—it means they can maintain top-quality mise en place and keep everything vibrant and consistent. I highly recommend the pork belly and the pakoras.”
“We enjoyed our dining experience very much! The ambiance and service was fantastic! The food was fresh and delicious with excellent size portions! Highly recommend!”
“Love the fried chicken! Such wonderful attention to detail in the food, packaging, and service.”
“Got a Large Hand-Pulled beef noodle with 3-pull noodles. Also got spicy beef on the side.
Noodles have a satisfying texture. The broth is light but flavorful. The green onion and cilantro garnishes are fresh.
Spicy beef side dish came with sliced onions, which added to the flavor.
I recommend this restaurant for those looking for Chinese noodles.”
“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!”
“Nikaila was such a wonderful server! She helped our large group with everything we needed. She was friendly and personable! Will definitely come again because of her.”
“Great service, great food, just the right mix of music and ambient sound that my wife and I could have a conversation without hearing everyone else's at the same time. Great little spot!”
“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!”
“great space, awesome knowledgeable staff, incredible wine list and they were even able to accommodate a fussy vegan with fresh flavourful food.”
“First time ordering take out. Everything was fantastic, no regrets. Thanks you for creating a fantastic meal for friends.”
“Bought the Christmas dinner this year and it blew everyone's minds. The video was lovely and it was easy to put together. Just Delish and super good value! Impressed. Also the white truffle labneh - insane. Thank you Chef!”
“Fantastic Food!!! I cannot speak highly enough of Fatboys Southern Smokehouse! My wife and I enjoyed an amazing 10 year anniversary dinner at Fatboys, Shawn is great at explaining the options available and suggesting some great choices; Emma, our waitress, offered wonderful options and was so friendly and personable, and we were offered a tour of the restaurant and smoker as all the meat was being prepped!!! Such a wonderful experience with an awesome hometown vibe!!!”
“I had the pleasure of trying the Shuizhu Rou Pian here, and it was incredible! The meat was perfectly tender, and the broth was packed with bold, aromatic flavors that really brought out the spice. The balance between the heat and the savory richness was just right—spicy but not overwhelming. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, adding a nice texture to the dish. If you’re a fan of authentic Sichuan cuisine, this is a must-try! I’ll definitely be back for more.”
“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.”
“Lisa was the best!! We had such an awesome time here, and the food was amazing! I recommend this place to anyone, the atmosphere was wonderful. I felt like I was in Montana 🏕️”
“The service and the quality was great. We got some chicken peta wraps. The staff was so kind. They even offered a glass of water while waiting for the food pickup.”
“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.”
“Excellent service. Food amazing especially the crêpe. Very warm atmosphere. Will definitely go back 😊”
“This little place is producing sushi quality that is very similar to Japan. Trust me when I say it’s very close to the sushi quality from Japan. Unbelievable that they are in Ottawa! Go check them out”
“Super nice service and very delicious food. The carbonara was a bit of a surprise for me, as I lived for a while in Italy, but never had a Carbonara with onions before,... but maybe it's a variaty of a specific Italian region 😅😎 which I haven't heard of 🤔 Overall : it's a five star experience with brilliant staff and atmosphere 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍🎉❤️”
“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”
“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! ❤️🥂”
“Their spicy pork (제육볶음) hit so good. Food is very authentic straight out of Seoul. Highly recommended. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Kind and pretty staff.”
“Ate here 2 nights in a row and ate the exact same meal both nights. I had the butter fish crudo and the tartare. Flavours in both were super yummy. Atmosphere was really nice too. I didn’t have any of the cocktails but was watching them make them and they all looked so good!!”
“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.”
“My daughters took me here for a birthday meal to eat my favourite food which is Korean and I was not disappointed at all. Efficient service, wonderful staff and most of all delicious food. I also want to add the mango/grapefruit splash drink was amazingly good.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 😅”
“Excellent food and friendly service. Thanks for making our trip to Ottawa that much more enjoyable!”
“Great food, family business, real nice people that care.
Parking: Sizzling platters a must!
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair accessible
Free parking
Excellent soups ie. Hot and sour.”
“I recently visited Browns Crafthouse-Glebe to catch up with a high school friend, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was lively, thanks to the live music, which added a fun vibe to our evening. Although it was a bit loud, I’ll know to request a table further from the singer next time.
The service was exceptional. I asked our server to surprise me with a cold alcoholic drink, and he delivered a super refreshing and delicious choice. What I appreciated most was the balance they struck between being attentive and giving us space. We never felt rushed or interrupted, which made our catch-up session even more enjoyable.
The food was another highlight. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Browns Crafhouse-Glebe truly made us feel welcomed and comfortable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great night out with friends!”
“I went to celebrate a special day and loved the overall experience. I will definitely visit this place again. Loved the food, loved the decor, loved the overall ambiance. The restaurant has very creative sushi & Japanese dishes to try. Only downside is the place is very small.”
“Amazing experience! First time going and were amazed on not only the great service but atmosphere! And as it was my wife’s birthday the chef came out not only with a complimentary dessert but blew us away with his happy birthday singing performance. We will absolutely be back, worth the hour drive for this experience! Oh and the food and dessert were absolutely amazing 11/10 and 6 stars to this place!”
“Amazing service when Uber eats messed up. They delivered the missing food themselves👍🏼”
“I cannot emphasize enough how the service at Mill St. Pub is remarkable! I had my second yearly event there last night and they are amazing! From the beginning of the planning with Christine to the on site staff who greeted and waited on us like we were family to the food that was absolutely delicious! The ambiance, the beauty of the building and the warmth of the staff make it the perfect place for any gathering! Thank you all soooo much!

“Went with my girlfriends in the evening! Had appetizers and main dish. Delicious and served fresh and warm! The Pad Thai and Pho is excellent! Try the deep fried bananas with a drizzle of honey and topped with crushed peanuts!”
“This place is open 24/7 ! They gave a lot of food for the price and it was good food so I appreciated that. I’ve never seen a sandwich with a bun layer in the middle, interesting still yummy.”
“Wonderful little place that serves alot of my favourite Japanese comfort food 😋 especially love the Halal teriyaki chicken donburi! location is a little trickey to get to. Just go inside of the front entrance of the Green Valley Office building!”
“Ottawa's Premier Sports bar for sure. Come watch all the live action everyday. 2024 Euro action in full swing. Come cheer on Team Canada on as they make history this Friday at 9pm. Center Screen with Sound.”
“I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner experience in Ottawa that truly deserves praise. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was refined and inviting—elegant without being pretentious. The service was exceptional, with Oliwier as our waiter. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, adding a personal touch that elevated the entire evening.
The food? Absolutely divine. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Everything from start to finish felt carefully
curated, and it was clear the kitchen takes pride in both taste and artistry.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for an upscale dining experience with charm and grace.”
“Absolutely the best sushi in Ottawa. I'm sad it took us two years to find this place. They also have some delicious Korean dishes as well.
This is mostly a take-out/delivery restaurant but there are a couple of small tables to sit at and a counter at the window. We like to eat in most of the time because we like the tiny low key atmosphere.
Plus, the staff are so kind, polite and friendly!
Great food, great prices and great portions. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.”

“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!”

“My company recently ordered from African BBQ House in Ottawa. Everyone was blown away by the portions and flavors of the food. The owner and staff were incredible with accommodating my order when given short notice and were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 10/10!”
“Recently, we stepped through the doors of Pâtisserie Élina, a true temple of indulgence where each creation challenges our expectations while tantalizing our taste buds. The Black Forest cake, cleverly shaped like a cherry, is a masterpiece of trompe-l'œil that leaves a lasting impression. Next to it, the audacious marriage of lemon and peach, delicate in its execution, reveals a subtle harmony of flavors. Each dessert presents itself as a work of art, where aesthetics compete with taste—and that’s where the magic happens. Less sugar, but more fruit, ensuring explosions of flavor with each bite. The chef's technical prowess is undeniably impressive, transforming simple ingredients into a gustatory symphony. If you’re seeking a pastry experience that combines visual beauty with delightful flavors, don’t miss this address. Pâtisserie Élina stands out as an essential stop for all lovers of refined sweets.”

“I have been dreading this review for a while now, but things are not improving! Tonight, February 15th, they had a fixed 4 course dinner for $100. I called in advance because I was dining alone at the bar and inquired if I needed reservations. No mention of the $100 menu. Sat at the bar, was ignored by all the staff. First course didn't show up. Second course showed up and I asked where the first one was. They brought it after. The third course, the short rubs, was cold, as was my food the last 3 times we went there. i returned it and version 2 was better. Dessert was a very uneventful creme brulée. This is my third ( possibly 4th time) discretely providing feedback. Getting a comped dessert or small glass of wine. I was really rooting for this restaurant, but it is mismanaged and really needs to get their act. Cocotte no more!”
“I have celiac so this is a chain I can have roast chicken and sauce. Roasted chicken without sauce is just not the same. That said it makes for a very empty plate and unfortunately the restaurant is not vey generous with the fries even though they don’t need to provide a bun. As a result, I’m still a little hungry when I leave (not the first time this has happened). A half chicken would be too much food so I wish they would at least provide more in terms of qty for the side dish, in this case fries, with the quarter chicken.
Atmosphere was fine but a portion of the restaurant needs some TLC.
Feriyal was our server and she was great.”
“The food was excellent quality, fresh, tasty & prepared quickly. Adequate staffing for peak periods & they were friendly & had full knowledge of menu items & specials. The dining area was clean & comfortable as well as inviting & spacious. Facilities were average. Plenty of parking available. Been here many times & will definitely return with friends & family. Thanks BK Bronson Staff! 😁

“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!”
“We frequent Indian restaurants weekly, Indian being our favorite food. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Incredible! And very nice atmosphere. Too bad they are not located in Barrhaven.”
“Above-par, hard workin' staff that still take a moment to chat you up while mixing 4 shakes and managing the take-out counter. Superhuman Service! Loved my Reuben so much I bought the tshirt in the hopes they'll give me staff rate on my next meal ;) Hearty portions so plenty left to share with a fellow hosteller. 5-Stars, thanks for the comfort food since Winterlude hot chocolates as a kid in the 80s. Best Nostalgia Diner in the City”
“Majid our waiter was super nice, efficient and the food was brought to our table in a very coordinated well (hummus and babaghanoug and the salad before the grillades). We didn’t feel at any point that we were missing something at the table and he was very generous and courteous”
