Very good place to eat.
We went there for dinner.
Food was crazy tasteful, and service was great.
This is a very fine food experience.
Portions were plenty enough, and the dessert was amazing to complete the meal.
We will most definitely come back.
Great restaurant in Ottawa - very trendy, changing menu, great drink options, knowledgeable staff. We had a delicious time!
You must try this place. Citizen (and its companion restaurant Town) is a pocket-sized space with a carefully crafted and elevated menu. The sesame-crusted trout was simply the best I’ve ever had, flavourful and cooked to a perfectly moist medium-rare. They clearly have the services of a trained sommelier given their excellent drinks selection of cocktails, beers and wine with non-alcoholic options.

Citizen is a restaurant that offers a nice casual atmosphere and great cocktails, although the prices may be a bit high. The menu features dishes like the popular white fish appetizer, risotto, and a rotating pot pie special. The service is fantastic, with friendly and efficient staff who provide an amazing dining experience. Many customers agree that the food is amazing, with highlights including scallop ceviche, seafood risotto, and the tomato and watermelon salad, which is even better with added burrata. The portions may be quite small but are very filling and of outstanding quality. The restaurant has a cute and suitable atmosphere for both fancy and casual attire. It is a nice, intimate spot for dates and celebrations, and regulars in the area consider Citizen a staple for celebrating important events. The menu offers a variety of delightful options, from pickled olives and white anchovies to extraordinary corn cavatelli and delectable desserts, all complemented by great wines. One customer described it as the best food experience during their 14-day trip across Canada.
