We ordered a vanilla cake from Dessert First and I cannot recommend them enough! It was absolutely fabulous and all guests wanted to know where it was ordered from. The cake was very fresh and icing was excellent! Will be ordering from them again 100%
I brought my guests to Dessert First, during their visit to Ottawa. One of them is a child with celiac. The staff at Dessert First went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and were vigilant about any cross contamination. They have a dedicated fryer for the home fries. The food was excellent, service was friendly and were all happy with our experience.

Dessert First is a cozy and welcoming restaurant in Old Ottawa South, known for its excellent food and friendly service. It is a favorite spot for brunch, with pancakes described as the best ever. The dinner menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, including French onion soup, oxtail stew, and scallop seviche with coconut lime dressing, all beautifully presented. The desserts are also a highlight, especially the Eton Mess, which is a popular choice. The staff is attentive and happy to recommend activities in the area. While the decor is a bit odd and tables are close together, the overall experience is highly enjoyable. This hidden gem offers consistently wonderful food and a warm atmosphere, making it a highly recommended place to visit.
