“We get to gether for family gathers every month or two and the sevice is always great and the food is fresh and plentiful and great tasting variety. our server this time was BUU and she was funny and fabulous.“

“Loved the fact the food was tasty, healthy and filling. Flavours are really nice and natural and for those who like

Service was courteous and fast

We had a few dishes and loved every single one of them.

The ambience is really nice and feels like you are having a meal served by family.“

“Oooh so delish. Pick your pleasure.“

“On average we get take out from Sula Wok once per week. We love the food and the vibe of the place. (Sula and her gang are also very nice to deal with). I really like the traditional Pad Thai. Recently, Sula asked that I try a slightly new version of the dish (apparently less fishy). Sula asked that I let her know if I liked it or not. While I thought the taste was a little different (maybe not as spicy or “fishy”), I still loved it and will be ordering it again.“

“I am absolutely delighted! Pho Bac is unequivocally the finest and most authentic Oriental Cuisine available in Ottawa. Tucked away, it is a hidden treasure that one truly needs to experience firsthand to fully appreciate the centuries of culinary expertise that have been lovingly passed down. The staff is truly exceptional, ensuring you are wonderfully cared for from the moment you arrive until your departure.

We had the pleasure of enjoying the most flavorful Chicken Pad Thai and the Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai we've ever had. Today the chef suggested we also try her specialty Pho Bac Special Pork and Shrimp spring rolls, which were absolutely mind-blowing; the flavor combination was unlike anything I've had before. When I said I could have died and gone to heaven, I was serious!

I'll be back next week!“

“Absolutely delicious inventive food, lovely staff and an intimate romantic atmosphere. Endless drink menu with plenty of unique options, all the food was so fresh and had some different flavours you don’t always see and prices are pretty fair for the quality and service. Get the focaccia with brown butter for sure and then honestly you can’t go wrong with anything that sounds good to you! We’ll be back for another date night for sure!“

“Hungry Human menu item are delicious and very filling. Easily splitable and you pick two sides. I skipped breakfast and had the item for lunch. I will be full till 6:00 pm at least. Very good.“

“Been coming here since I was a kid. Whether you come every week or skip a year or five, the familiar faces always welcoming you back. This makes Louis the best restaurant and the best pizza in Ottawa. Thank you for making it feel like home. Meat lovers, fries and the best gravy in Town.“

“Drinks were more expensive than I expected, but good. Me and my friends were there for only about 3-4 hours but we felt like we were being rushed out towards the end, despite paying and still actively using board games. It wasn’t like we were hogging a table and just chatting.“

“Went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. A very delicious widespread of food! We were not disappointed. Amazing customer service, cute drinks, and yummy food. What more could we ask for?! One of our favourites was their unique dinner for two, fried chicken pizza and salad! Very filling, a good contrast, and not greasy! We will definitely be back!“

“The Manx pub is a great place. Not very big, lots of atmosphere. Food is great, large portions and reasonably priced 😁 *****“

“Great place great food and nice service 🍲😊❤️“

“Had the best time hosting our group party here! The vegan and glutenfree options were fantastic! 🍲“

“Visited Montana's 13th November 2022 with a group of 7 other people. The atmosphere was good, enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and conversation, followed by our server taking our meal order. She was very efficient and ensured all our needs were met. The order took longer than expected to arrive, and when it did, the food was just warm. We explained to the server who was apologetic, the food was heated to our satisfaction, and enjoyed by all. We were visited by the Manager In order to make sure everything was to our satisfaction, following the issue we had experienced. She very kindly told us she was giving us a reduction on the total price as a sign of goodwill, and also provided free dessert for the group. I would say that was an excellent show of hospitality on the part of Montana's, and we will definitely be arranging future visits.“

“A truly special place, Best indian food in ottawa. Prepared and served with love. It is rare to feel so good after eating that much food! You can eat this food daily.“

“Highly recommend! I was hesitant at first because I had no idea what the majority of menu items were. I was completely blown away. I am a very picky person, but the menu and how the food was explained in full detail, no matter the question by our incredible waitress was the first sign this is the place to be! A huge thank you to the waitress especially, the staff as a whole and a huge high-five to the chefs for clearly putting your all in to every single menu item. I was fortunate enough to run in to one of the owners and give my nothing short of positive feedback. He was so grateful and humble. Keep it up all! Would recommend to anyone. Will be back!“

“The service was top-notch, and the fries were incredibly tasty. I want to extend my gratitude to Lou Jr. for his thoughtful gesture of freshly cooked fries and hot dog. I'm absolutely planning on returning for more! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Probably the best Mexican food in town!“

“WOW great food, great atmosphere and most of all our server Kady was phenomenal! Very respectful, kind, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. Would definitely recommend this location in Ottawa and ask for Kady!!! 💕 🍹🍸“

“As always, a fabulous experience from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. Love supporting this family run business that has been a fixture in my hometown for over 30 years. Basil and family - you never disappoint! A great place to celebrate my last birthday of my 40’s (shhh, I kept that quiet). Cheers to you all! ❤️🥂“

“Amazing food at good prices! Makes the drive downtown worth it.“

“We received a gift card from a family member for $100 USD as a Christmas Present and were excited about enjoying a meal at this restaurant. The gift card was purchased directly from Joey's, not a 3rd party. We went and everything initially about the restaurant was very enjoyable. The food was very good, the service was attentive and we enjoyed our experience until the cheque arrived. When we we presented the gift card (electronically) our server went to speak with a ⁶manager and then returned to inform us that the $100 USD would be honoured in Canadian dollars. $100 USD is worth $144.50 Canadian dollars according to google when checked today. We paid the bill and tipped the service team 22% and left after effectively having $44.50 taken from us and our family member in what felt like to us, theft by conversion. The manager in question did not come to follow up after our expressing our disappointment JOEY's is already a very expensive restaurant. Further, the gift card information indicates that Joey's has US based restaurants. I'm quite sure that Canadian dollar gift cards are not accepted at par in the US. This ruined for us, what was otherwise a positive experience, through what felt like to us, an act of corporate greed and impersonal profiteering. After this experience we will not be back and sadly, I cannot recommend JOEY's as a place for anyone else to dine at. Any company that sells a gift card directly and then fails to deliver full value is patently dishonest, in my opinion.“

“I love their spring roll and in my honest opinion, it is the best I have ever tasted before. Everybody should try. The ingredients are fresh and there is no greasy after taste. Their spring roll is amazing!!!!!!“

“Awesome breakfast. Best in Ottawa“

“Had a fabulous lunch there while visiting family in Ottawa from Nova Scotia over the holidays. I was wearing a Green Bay Packers hoodie as I do, being a fan and shareholder. One of the two guys serving and running the bar gave me a thumbs up and said they were big Packers fan. The food and service was outstanding, and when the bill was presented to our friend as he requested, he was informed that they weren't going to charge for the coffees for the Packers fans, lol. Simply awesome - highly recommended whether you are a Green Bay Packers fan or not :)“

“Walked in for a quick bite not expecting much. Walked out with the only disappointment of not ordering more! The best samosas I’ve ever had. They are a must have. Plus the people are so friendly.“

“Excellent food, great service and a very cozy atmosphere!“

“Hands down my favorite pizza in town. While I enjoy exploring other spots, I always find myself returning to Pizza Nerds - the flavor is consistently incredible - thanks guys! It’s also a huge plus that they carry Sunsplit IPA, which is my go-to. My only suggestion for improvement would be to serve the beer at a slightly colder temperature. Other than that, it’s a perfect experience every time.“

“Authentic taste!! Good for people who would like vegetarian food ! Also would love to relish maa ke hath ke swad jaisa food !!!!”””“

“Excellent food and vibe. Perfect date night for me and my wife!“

“Should be called 'Oh My DELICIOUS!'
Found this little hidden gem in the.Byward market today, tucked away at the end of York st and King Edward.
The food is made fresh and the Tzaziki sauce is amazing. Since it was a lunch visit I ordered the souvlaki filet mignon pita sandwich. They had me at the first bite.😜
Cant wait to go back and try another food item very soon.
Thanks guys...Kkeep grilling your way to yummy-ness!“

“We chose Bier Markt for a first date, and little did we know it would turn into a night we'll never forget. Mikayla was our server, and her kindness and genuine warmth truly touched us. Her incredible attention to detail and heartfelt communication created an atmosphere that felt special beyond words. Honestly, Mikayla’s amazingness was so unforgettable, it even earned me a second date—something I never expected! Our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and I can't wait to come back again soon to relive that magic.“

“Went with my girlfriends in the evening! Had appetizers and main dish. Delicious and served fresh and warm! The Pad Thai and Pho is excellent! Try the deep fried bananas with a drizzle of honey and topped with crushed peanuts!“

“Love hitting Koichi on a rainy day or in the colder months. We ordered the vegetarian shoyu broth with tofu and egg noodles, and the curry chicken broth with chicken cutlets. Both delicious - and enough for two meals if you wish 🌟. Service is friendly and efficient. Arigatō 🙇‍♂“

“Great vegetarian and vegan food“

“Along side in the downtown street of ottawa.

If you are craving for wanton soup and dumplings in peanut sauce.

This place is must a try.

It's a bit crowded when we visited last January.

Friendly staff and good food.

I highly recommend it to anyone who's in Bells Corners. They have the best Greek food and the best shawarma. The place itself is very cozy, and the staff are always friendly and very helpful.“

“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!“
