French Restaurants in Ottawa, ON

“We went this morning, on May 20th for our 48th wedding anniversary brunch. The food was incredible, the best we ever ate for breakfast. The waitress was excellent, so attentive and we were treated with a poached pear for our anniversary dessert. The food is exceptional, a must if you are in Ottawa in the Byward Market area.“

“Amazing service and a culinary experience !!!“

“I frequently went to the byward market location but now visit the westboro location and love it. The amazing selection of teas, coffee, juices! The delicious home made food! And don’t forget the amazing staff! All so friendly and knowledgeable! Love this little slice of Poland in westboro!“

“Had dinner with a friend a couple of days ago and had an overall good experience but there was room for improvement. I ordered the coquilles st jacques. While the scallops were cooked well the purée lacked flavour.. missing that hit of cheese. I had to use some lemon to liven the dish a bit. My friend had the streak frites, medium rare that came rare. We had the kitchen bring to temp. I had a bite and it was tender and flavourful. I will return to try more from the menu and see how it goes. A great place either way for atmosphere and drinks.“

“Amazing atmosphere. Would recommend“

“Un brunch du dimanche en amoureux absolument parfait ! 🥂 Fruits de mer frais, ambiance conviviale avec musiciens et, belle surprise, un délicieux rosé sans alcool qui a fait mon bonheur. Je recommande vivement“

“Update: We went here for my bday and Anniversary dinner. As always Chef Ryan's food was outstanding. Did an extensive review on trip advisor for our end of May 2026 visit.

The food here is always delicious. Its always a culinary treat for us. Real comforting well balanced food, rich in flavours, perfectly cooked proteins with seasonal ingredients and textural notes to round out the dishes.

Always look forward to our visits here. For us one its one of the absolute best restaurants in ottawa. CHEF Ryan always delivers 🙌 👌 a memorable meal and experience for us.

My wife and I have eaten here on 7 occasions. We really enjoy Chef Ryan's creative, delicious food. We go back every menu change and we have always had great service, a wonderful ambiance and great views of the city. Weve enjoyed dishes of foie gras, scallops, shortribs, pork belly, innovative salads and never has one disappointed. Most importantly however is the excellent quality sourced ingredients and food prepared and expedited with care. See you soon! We highly recommend this restaurant and always tell friends about it.“
