“My family and I had dinner at Alora for my birthday on Sunday evening. We enjoyed several plates shared by all so we all got a taste of a wide variety of dishes and were equally impressed by them all. The friendly and knowledgeable service to match did not disappoint and we look forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommend!“
“Excellent food, taste and presentation with stunning setting and warm ambience makes this restaurant dinner a beautiful experience. Waiters are friendly and hands on. Been here before; this evening there was some delays with the starters, but they were apologetic and gracious about it. Overall good experience, highly recommended.“
“The best kept secret in Kanata! It’s a hidden gem. Looking for a special intimate time with some close friends or partner? This is my go to! The food never disappoints. The place is quiet and has a pleasant, soothing ambience. The food choices on the menu are ideal and perfect for sharing. The hostess is wonderful and she brings out the food in the desirable order and not all the plates at once. She is very attentive and top marks for making our dining experience a memorable one! Thank you and we will be back!“
“One of my favourite places in Ottawa. Great food, and some of the best wine you'll find in the city. Friendly and knowledgable staff too. Try the orange wine, the oysters, the char... It's all good. A little pricey but well worth it if you feel like splurging a bit.“
“This place is truly amazing. The cocktails are so good. If you want something different, they can also create a cocktail just for you. The mixologists are always on point. We always enjoy having some cheese and charcuterie. I had the best sourdough cracker there - like, the best ever.“
“Did not disappoint! We've wanted to try Erling's for awhile, so we were excited to have the opportunity to eat there tonight. the food was excellent, but our favourite was the pork tenderloin with cheesy rapini späetzle. It was so good! The mushroom stroganoff was also delicious. Would definitely recommend!“
“Talk about stumbling upon a culinary gem! We discovered this restaurant by chance and couldn't have been happier with our find. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the menu was filled with mouthwatering choices. We ordered a bit impulsively, which led to a small delay in getting our food, but once it arrived, it was worth the wait. Every dish was a flavor explosion, and we found ourselves eagerly devouring each bite. Despite the hiccup with the timing, the friendly staff made us feel right at home, and we left satisfied and already thinking about when we could return for more.“
“We have been here multiple times, and we have never had a bad meal. In fact, we have never had a mediocre meal. Every meal is not just delicious, but presented beautifully. As a foodie, this place is definitely worth the drive. You can’t beat the food or the view.“
“This place is a favorite stop in for a quaint space to chat, grab a bite and share a beverage. I've been going here on and off for quite some time and it's one of my go-tos. The food menu has a bit of everything, the wine list, well equipped and the ambiance is great. It can get quite loud however due to its compact size and density of seating. I know where to sit to avoid too much commotion and chaos at this point but if you sit in the back against the wall, you may notice the decibel levels rising too high. Overall a sweet spot!Vegetarian options: Halloumi cheese, gnocchi without pancetta, fries.“
“Best fish I've ever had! I'm from Switzerland where Spaetzli was much more common and it's one of my favorite side dishes - they nailed it too. Everything from appetizer to dessert was delicious and very carefully thought of. I would have liked a bigger uni on the oyster but it was still amazing. 10/10!“
“A special thankyou to the entire staff at Next for a wonderful meal and fantastic dining experience. We celebrated our daughters birthday yesterday and our experience was top notch. A very special thankyou to Barb who served us and made our evening exceptional, i can't say enough about her wonderful personality and attention she offered our family. We will see you again !“
“Went for a fall tasting 2024 for an upcoming wedding in October. The food was amazing. We had the opportunity to taste all of the appetizers and 4 entrés and the dessert. All our questions were answered. We were also provided with à detailed information package.“
“I went to Vespa for dinner with my wife and another couple. The service was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. We had pastas and pizzas. Both winners for sure.The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy.We will definitely return again.“
“Had an amazing birthday dinner here! Our waiter Sebastian was great, he was so helpful in describing every single thing on the menu. All the food that he recommended to us was so amazing, I loved every single little bite. He was also able to recommend good wine pairings to go with each meal. I loved my experience here, 10/10 recommend!!“
“Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Loved the lentil burger, it was sublime. The carrot cake was lovely and presentation exceptional. So nice to have this type of plant based restaurant in Ottawa. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.“
