50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ottawa

“Authentic falafel , tastes exactly like back home with the same warm welcoming. Best falafel spot in ottawa so far !!!“

“Great customer service! They let me try a sauce before I got the wrap just to make sure that it wasn’t too spicy for me (a person with no spice tolerance..). It was unfortunately too spicy, the guy then offered me water to help.

Food was delicious!“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“Huge ice cream portions and absolutely lovely staff! I asked which flavour would pair well with blueberry and was able to try three different samples to pick from, receiving recommendations as well!

I went at 7pm and there was hardly any queue, but I know from walking past it does get very busy at times.

The gelato itself was so smooth and creamy, definitely recommend!“

“The Nut Fudge ice cream is my new favourite. That was amazing. Thank you“

“Best salads ever - authentic, creative and satisfying. Recommended!“

“We always get one when me and my husband go down town“

“Can you even say you’ve eaten ice cream if you’ve never tried Moo Shu? Hands down the best ice cream in Centretown. Thank you for the bubble waffles, the Hong Kong milk tea ice cream but most of all for transforming flavours from my childhood into unique and tasty treats that all of Ottawa can enjoy! 😊🙏🏻❤️“

“Absolutely incredible! A real diamond in the rough. This place is welcoming, friendly, comfortable, everyone seems like they’re family when they come in. They’re even dog friendly! I really can’t say enough amazing things about this place. It is going to quickly become my go to place in the area. Cozy up I. Front of the fireplace with your laptop or a good book, didn’t bring one? They’re got you covered!“

“Best shawarma in Ottawa. I recommend also fries and chicken with special sauce on top.“

“Great Burger, awesome fries!“

“Discovered this restaurant today and happy we did. The food was excellent, great experience allowing us to cook our meal while chatting. Attentive service, excellent quality. A lot of food in the options. We really loved the experience and will definitely return.“

“Anni's Cafe is my new favourite study spot; a quiet, safe space, clean facilities and outstanding service! I highly recommend for any student in the area or just anyone who wants a cozy space with good coffee to get work done or get together. Shout out to the staff who make this place my home away from home!“

“Such a gem of a spot! Spark is our go to for post-work brews. Beautiful space makes for a great option for date night too. Pizzas are sooooo good ❤️“

“We stopped in for a couple during a hockey tourney. The people that work here and owner are awesome.
Talked beer and tasted some before ordering. Fantastic!
Had lunch with a great Grilled Cheese over the top good.
Thanks for a great experience“

“Big fat indulgent gourmet cookies! Before buying, I was a bit concerned about the sweetness level because there were some previous comments about the cookies being too sweet or not sweet enough. I'm happy to say that it was perfect for me. It's less sweet that the typical cookies from a supermarket. But it's not so low in sugars that it's diabetic friendly.“

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“Wonderful, inclusive folks! Very nice staff, who were very helpful. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but it was really great that they made sure they rented an accessible portable washroom for their large market event. As I was sporting crutches (I recently broke my ankle), it was a total life saver that I didn’t need to take the stairs! Not sure if the port-a-potty is an “always” thing, but just the fact that they had it for their street market when so many folks wouldn’t even think of it made me grateful. Thank you for being the loveliest hosts! I’m not a coffee or tea drinker, but I’ll certainly tell all my friends about how kind the staff were!“

“I was very impressed by the drinks, very very yummy! The cheesecake was also amazing. The decor was fresh and modern and pretty. Not as impressed with the tiramisu, which was an odd kind of foamy/gelatiny something. And they really need to get a handle on the amount of plastic waste - even the plastic forks were wrapped in plastic; each cake slice wrapped in plastic; plastic plastic plastic. At least find something biodegradable, there's things on the market now! I would definitely go again but I'd bring my own mug and fork.“

“Absolutely incredible customer service and home delivery. Well Done!!“

“It was our first time here and I must say the wait was worth it when I started eating the food.

“good and healthy food.“

“Beer and food are really good. The service is great! The live music has been very good. I've had a great time every time I go.“

“Best pizza ever!! My favourite!!“

“The Nostalgica Burger was tasty. The beef patty had a nice charred texture that paired well with the roasted bell peppers. However, it could use a bit more salt and pepper in the patty. The sweet potato fries were delicious and could be enjoyed as a snack on their own. Overall, I had a great experience.“

“Hey there! We ordered for the first time last nite and everything was great! We both got the Club wrap which was very fresh and tasty:). We also ordered a small roasted potatoes with garlic sauce...so yummy!“

“Incidentally dropped by after dropping off U-Haul, hungry and tired. Got a couple iced lattes, turkey sandwiches, and speciality doughnuts. It was so fresh and bursting with filling. Exited feeling like a new person, completely refreshed after half a day of moving furniture. Forget about Tim Hortons! Forget about Suzy Q!“

“Great spot in Ottawa, the grilled cheese was absolutely amazing 👏 🤩“

“This milk tea is an absolute game-changer! The balance between the fragrant tea base and the creamy milk is spot on—light enough to not feel heavy, but rich enough to satisfy that craving. I opted for 50% sugar, and it’s perfect, with just a hint of sweetness that lets the natural flavors shine through.

The boba is cooked to perfection—chewy, bouncy, and full of that classic sweetness, while the grass jelly adds a lovely refreshing twist. It’s become my daily ritual; sipping on it feels like a little luxury, whether I’m rushing to a meeting or unwinding at home. Hands down, the best milk tea I’ve had in ages—10/10 would recommend!“

“Great night on our 40th anniversary it was even a Monday night with live music which was a lot of fun.
Wife danced almost all night with another beautiful girl.
It was a great night just wishing we got the dark hair girl with white blouse and. black pants number so we can plan another evening with her and dance the night away.“

“Del Piacerre was absolutely amazing, it was a bit slow at first but I’ve got to say we were done our food in like 30 minutes. The food was so good. The server even offered us a half and half pizza so it wouldn’t be so much. I loved it“

“Awesome atmosphere, great staff, great spot to enjoy a pint of Kilkenny“

“We went in a class trip to the playground, and called ahead to let them know the students would be buying ice cream at the Beach Shack. It turned out to be a rainy day and they opened for the students so that the students wouldn’t be disappointed. They were friendly, kind and helpful to the students and we appreciated the fantastic service. This is the second time we have taken our students here and would highly recommend the Beach Shack.“

“Such an amazing place, and the best after a day at the bmx races . RSDRC bmx team loves it and appreciates having them on the team.“

“We had a lovely drink today enjoying the sunshine. Jojo was super friendly and attentive. The buffalo chicken wrap and fries were enough for us to split between the two of us and yummy. Thanks Jojo!“

“We always get one when me and my husband go down town“

“Stopped in for ice cream on this sunny day. Service was great and the ice cream was delicious! It’s nice to see some classic flavours and a few different ones if you are feeling a bit adventurous. Can’t wait to go again!“

“Firstly, the best Pizza in Ottawa's Byward Market with top-notch service 👌 (Thank you John and Ibrahim) Highly recommended Kev 😀“

“Overpriced Sysco food, cocktail prices as high as a 5 star restaurant, cluttered interior, nasty kitchen with dirty dishes on food prep area.“

“From Toronto but this place is much better than Cypress Garden; likely the best chinese I’ve had in Ottawa. Great portions and the fried rice was actually amazing I was shocked, wings were great too. Only thing I wouldn’t get again was the General Tso Chicken bc it was not crispy. Amazing fried rice“

“Very friendly, great food seems to all be made from scratch. Always fresh. Sometimes a little confusing at the cash for your order but stop always make up for it in customer service. Definitely recommend going My only recommendation would be for the price of coffee does not match the size or the quality but that is the only true improvement I truly can offer. Their patio is incredible The restaurant indoors is quite large very spacious providing lots of privacy if wanted from other customers with the ability to choose wherever you want to sit. Their million dollar dessert squares or bar is phenomenal.“

“fun times with friends ☺️😁“

“Highly recommend - amazing food and service!“
