This was the best restaurant! Did they open another restaurant????

The food is spectacular. I've yet to not find a dish I didn't like. The staff are friendly, long time employees. It can be busy on Friday and Saturday night so be sure to make a reservation.

As far as tapas goes, 222 Lyon has nothing special to offer. It is subpar in almost every way. No points are made up by its plain and tight interior.
The "fresh baked bread" was stale—worse than a discount bag of already cheap dinner rolls. The "brandy vinegar" that it came with was equally underwhelming.
The worst dish we had to bear was the lobster special. $20 for a rubbery, flavourless piece of low-quality (probably frozen) seafood, accompanied by a single strand of limp scallion.
Our dishes took awhile to arrive, despite the whole place only being able to accommodate 8 or so couples/groups. Nothing seemed to come at the appropriate temperature except for two bacon-wrapped dates ($5). Service itself was friendly.
Ottawa does not have much to offer in terms of tapas generally, but there is surely another place that can do better than this one.

Food was okay. Team was short staffed. Was a little pricey. Ambience was okay, small, quaint.

The wine, and food are wonderful - including great desserts. The service is personal, and great!
Very cozy little restaurant. The onion soup was good and comforting! Cheese platter a little expensive but delicious! A nice little place where it's good to chat while eating tapas!

222 Lyon Tapas is a cozy restaurant located at the corner of Lyon and Gloucester st. in a beautiful, restored old house. The Tapas they serve have a large selection of vegan, pescetarian and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing and the service is friendly and professional.We tried the Mushrooms on toast (the group favorite), House Olives, Grilled Eggplant (tasty!), Shrimps Mona Lisa (I love these), Squid a la Romana (tender and delicious), Smoked Salmon, Mussels (another favorite of mine), plus some of the yummy deserts.We will definitely visit 222 Lyon Tapas again in the future.
