Our server was great, very attentive and knew lots of the menu, however, the food was not. They ran out of tartare and the steak was a small portion and expensive for the cut. The hay potato fries were also just soggy and wet from the mush sauce they put on themselves

We saw so many good reviews but everything except the bread were so salty and lack flavor. No next time

We were visiting Ottawa and we found this little place. Absolutely beautiful! Food was delicious: we got the poached pear salad with an amazing cheese croquette! The sirloin and the tartare. Absolutely fantastic! A special mention to the drinks: very well balanced and just amazing

Really cute interior! Service was fine, took about 10 minutes for the server to greet us and there wasn’t a hello how are you tonight my name is. Seemed like she had all the tables inside so that could be why. Food was good! The duck mortadella and the hay potatoes were the favourite. The olive oil cake was also really nice!!

Absolutely loved our experience here! Everything we ate was devine but top faves were the snow crab parfait (so unique and refreshing) and the grilled sea bass (impressive presentation and wonderful flavors).
If you are a table of two, I highly recommend sitting at the bar. You get to see all the food being made in the kitchen and engage more with the staff, who were all wonderful and made our experience all the better!
The amuse bouche to start was also a really lovely touch!

I was recommended to sit at the bar to watch the chefs. All the food I got was very good, and the presentation was on point, thought the service was slow even though there were very few customers. The chefs were cooking without gloves, which I didn't mind at first, but then I watched one of the chefs go from handling food, to texting on his phone, right back to handling the food.....disgusting.

Came for an anniversary dinner and definitely didn’t leave disappointed. Good service, nice atmosphere and even better food.
We tried the soubise, celeriac salad, creton croquettes, mushroom dish and the whole sea bass. That sea bass was the star of the show by far! Perfectly crispy skin with tender fish and a fantastic sauce. I would go back just for the fish alone! Definitely can’t skip on this dish if you go.

Favorite for the grilled celery root salad! The execution, the presentation and the flavors, everything was there. The other dishes ordered were more appealing upon reading the menu than once in the mouth. The sourdough bread (we would have preferred it hot, toasted and homemade) and its maple butter lacked work and research. The creton croquettes were good but nothing more. The dessert that made us salivate so much on paper (croissant-chômeur) was bland and disappointing. Finally, we would have appreciated a greater variety of non-alcoholic drinks.
Fantastic food and cocktails in the Market. The quality of the dishes was great. Highly recommend. The waiter was very helpful so we could select gluten free options.

Exceptional cocktails. That’s the review. If you’re looking for exquisite and refreshing cocktails, then this is the place for you. The servers here are so friendly and the service was decent for a busy evening. What I loved about this place was the design and the interior. The beautiful floor tiles, the menus that look like napkins, the rose-gold glasses, wow.

Food is solid but for several dishes, the food/price was on the expensive end for the quantity. Grilled mushrooms and jus accompanying the steak were the highlight dishes. Servers were fun and engaging, and always kept an eye on the table. Cocktails mocktails were tasty, with a good hit of alcohol/syrup. I would say visit this place for tapas/ bites and drinkies rather than a full meal - which it appears many locals have already sussed out, as we saw several couples wander in for just a drink at various points during the evening.

Had a great time at Daphnee! The food was really good, and I especially loved the sharing plates—perfect for trying a bit of everything. That said, I did find the portions a bit small for the price. The dessert wasn’t anything special, so I’d skip it next time. But the atmosphere was fantastic, and the cocktails were delicious! Definitely a spot worth visiting for drinks and a fun night out.

Elevated food experience in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We purposely sat at the bar and had excellent wine recommendations and we'll come back to try the cocktails that looked amazing. Buvette Daphnée is a gem in the byward market.
