“Excellent service, great food and ambiance. Tasted the best baklava! 😋“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Great Burger, awesome fries!“

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

“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 ❤️“

“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! 😊🙏🏻❤️“

“First time visiting from Quebec City, and the experience was outstanding. Very welcoming place, beer, food and service is simply top notch!! Merci beaucoup pour la belle soirée xx“

“I cannot emphasize enough how the service at Mill St. Pub is remarkable! I had my second yearly event there last night and they are amazing! From the beginning of the planning with Christine to the on site staff who greeted and waited on us like we were family to the food that was absolutely delicious! The ambiance, the beauty of the building and the warmth of the staff make it the perfect place for any gathering! Thank you all soooo much! I have already booked for next year! 🙏🙏🙏 Kelly-Ann Nolan XX“

“good and healthy food.“

“Had an amazing dinner, the food was delicious and the service was exceptional, thank you A.J. Will definitely recommend and return back. Keep it up . Mr Amith went out of his way to make sure our evening was pleasant .“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“Cute little cafe, great coffee. I always get a latte and it's always good. The inside is usually pretty full when I've been and it's a bit dark inside but has a unique atmosphere since it's in an old industrial kind of building. They also have a few outdoor tables which is nice. I've always walked or biked here but there is street parking and a small parking lot too.“

“The Southside is the best. The food and service are amazing. The owners are very friendly. I highly recommend this pub to everyone. 5 star!!“

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

“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!“

“Nice place to enjoy this summer“

“As a student at the University of Ottawa I would visit the pub often because not only it's the most convenient but, professors also find it the best place to have the informal gatherings after hardcore academic sessions.I hosted a techno night called Make Me Bad Mondays here for about one academic year. It was no success, I must say because people are not really into techno in Ottawa. But anyways I had my practice and here and there there would be really great moments when people appreciated the music.I was also part of the Ontario People's Interest Research Group where we organized Alt 101 week, International Worker's Day and a few other programs mainly focusing on introducing new local artists and bringing community together to chat about activism and so on.The setting is really accommodating for student events. I never got to turn it into a club for my weekly, which was a pity.But anyways, good ol Nostalgica.“

“I just ordered from there and I can say that The meal was great, the open end egg rolls, chicken balls, chow mein, & ribs was very delicious and the owner is very kind. Thank you. I highly recommend.

Parking: Easy parking infront of the restaurant“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Had a great interaction with a kind woman who made me two beaver tails quickly and they were great! Thanks again for the good attitude! Would definitely recommend“

“I came two nights in a row, and while I love your frozen yogurt and toppings, I wanted to leave a review for your staff! The two young girls (first with long brown hair in a ponytail and second with brown hair in a bun with a chopstick) working around 8pm tonight were lovely. I’m sorry I didn’t catch their names. The girl with the bun remembered me from last night. The store had stickers of all the mascots, except Chip (he happens to be the employee’s favourite too). When I saw the employee again tonight, she told she thought of me today and wanted to bring her temporary tattoos of Chip in case I came back (so cute and sweet)! As for the second employee (ponytail), I told her I was annoyed for them every time customers sampled and carelessly spilled yogurt. She smiled and said that she was there “for that”. I find it admirable to see teens that are willing to work hard, all while having an amazing attitude!“

“fun times with friends ☺️😁“

“Great pubs. Good food“

“I would normally give this Bridgehead 5 stars - BUT....The "but" is that they used to close at 7 PM (which I always thought was a little early - but could live with it). Last time I was there, they announced they were closing at 6 PM as "Winter Hours."Now, I could see them closing early to save some money if the place was a dead zone - but it is not. A lot of people go there. Lots of people stay and sit inside, and a lot of people do "to go." When my friends and I are there, it has never been empty. Never! Now, we will have to find another coffee place to meet at - because closing for the day at 6 PM is just too early for us. We will miss it, sadly.(Avoid the burrito - as it is a tasteless letdown, apparently. )

Vegetarian options: They generally have baked vegan and gluten-free treats (if you are hungry).

Dietary restrictions: They make a good vanilla bean latté with oat milk (not quite as good as the Starbucks version - but okay).“

“This cafe is a hidden gem in Ottawa! The smash burger was delicious and juicy plus they had a great selection of beverages and snacks. Great place to grab & go or to sit down for a while and do some work. I would recommend as a great place for working + to grab a bite to eat ! They also have art from local artist which is a nice touch.“

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

“My go to when I'm done class for the day at Algonquin. Their tapioca is superb! 😋🤤💯 Warm, tasty, sweet, chewy and oh so comforting. I get the Cheese Foam brulé with the black tea option! 🧋😊💯 I wanna build up to try a new drink but this one never ceases to fail 💯🥳👍. They can improve their loyalty program as you need to make 10 or 12 purchases to get a free one, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps they could change it lower it as a suggestion somewhere between 5-8 purchases. Anyways still worth it. #Tapioca #AlgonquinCollege #CheeseFoam #Tea #Drinks #LoyaltyProgram“

“Great spot. A must see“

“My first time seeing The Loaded Pierogi in Red Deer and I had to try. It was great! Good fast service, food was unique and great. I highly recommend and I never give reviews unless I am really impressed. Do yourself a favour and check it out.“

“Great vegetarian and vegan food“

“Highly recommend - amazing food and service!“
