Canadian Restaurants near Vanier, ON

“I can't believe I never knew of this place sooner!

The food was an very simple and represented great value as a diner establishment.

I also was surprised to see the add-on of maple syrup for 2-3$ was an entire can! If you wanted to, you can just have it all yourself.

The owners are also great too!“

“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!!! 💕 🍹🍸“

“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.“

“We had Ray today a new waiter to us. She was bubbly and friendly and efficient. We had 2 young children speaking very loudly behind us. Hard to relax. Just loud and windy. Too bad we're there as long as us. Usually this doesn't happy on a Friday night but oh well.“

“What a pleasure to have been able to reopen the restaurant with you! Everything was perfect and the service impeccable! nice discovery!“

“Gezellig is always such a lovely place to visit - especially for brunch and lunch. I love their menu during these times and feel it is great value for the quality and quantity of food. As the restaurant was quite busy, the table service was not as attentive as previous times, but they were excellent at accommodating us and were extremely kind to give us a free dessert since our dishes got caught behind. A big thanks to everyone at Gezellig for their hospitality!“

“This is by far the most modern shawarma place I have seen in Ottawa. They have many new concepts of shawarma and they don’t make it boring anymore. Their tacowarma (taco shawarma) is deliciousssssss. I definitely think you should go and try them out!!“

“I ordered a steak medium. It came medium rare. She offered to put it back on the grill for me but I declined because the steak was already a little tough and I didn't want it to be tougher. My friend had her steak well done and she had trouble chewing but - well done steak - I didn't expect any different. The gravy was way to salty and hard to eat. The server was great, she left us alone and let us talk, filling out drinks when needed. We did have to track her down at the end for the bill but she got very busy and we were there a long time. I would recommend this place just not the steak. We both had cheesecake for dessert and took some home.“

“The absolute best of the best!!!! The cocktails were delicious, the tartar was out of this world, the bread, the main meal… so very satisfied!“

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“Really great place to enjoy awesome food!!! ambiance and service are great 👍 can't go wrong. Bring her there and you are set lol“

“Just realized I had put the Review for the Toronto Craft Beer Market.
This Place was Amazing , Mya and Ethan were top notch. Super cool Environment , food and drinks,.

We went there last minute with a big groups of soccer players and they never hesitated to accommodate us.

Thanks so much.“

“GET THE WINDOW SEATS FOR THE SUNSET VIEW!
The view along was worth the $.

We got all small plates and some of the most popular mains. Everything is cooked perfectly. They did not overlook the supporting roles - the green beans in the steak, the croquet cubes in the salad, the pickled apple on top of the scallops… were all very tasty.“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life and I’m not kidding. The chef Arup Jana made an off-menu item for us because it was so good I’d contacted him about it (roasted carrot and brie soup, created for a charity event I attended last month). We had soup at the restaurant and also bought several more servings as takeout to bring home. We also tried about seven of their tapas plates and every single one was incredible. Please go to this restaurant.“

“We had a celebration for my mom after she passed just recently with a long weekend approaching we had no idea of who we could get River lounge Catering was recommended to us. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Everybody raved about the quality of service, the food, the display . and their professionalism. For our family they deserve five stars thank you so much. V“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Food was amazing and the service was among the best I’ve ever witnessed. I’d give 6 stars if I could.“

“What a wonderful little restaurant! Amazing atmosphere, nicely designed, fantastic food, great prices!

This will become a weekly destination! It reminds me either of 90s Montreal neighbourhood restaurants in the Plateau Mont-Royal or straight out of Amelie Poulin movie. A wonderful addition to Sandy Hill!“

“Amazing delicious like home made food, takeout from Uber was packaged perfectly“

“Reynolds has been an amazing breakfast spot for me. I have eating restrictions and they have accommodated my needs. The staff is great and friendly as well.“

“Especial thanks to Chef Dave for the delicious food and the morning guy server who is helpful and hands on. Hands down to the mouthwatering food and delicious. above and beyond my expectation of the food and customer service. highly recommended 5/5 .“

“Came here for breakfast every morning during my stay at the Westin. Only got the buffet on the last day, and it is definitely the most value. They have a nice selection of different breakfast items at the buffet and they are all well made and taste delicious. All of the a la carte items are also good, but portions are on the smaller side. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming.“

“Nous avons pris le service à la chambre et nos repas furent délicieux. Nous étions en famille et les repas enfants étaient tout autant impressionnant. La bavette était la cuisson demandée, tendre et excellente au goût. Burger des bois était divin. La poutine était impressionnante au goût. Le service était rapide et nous avons été biens servis. Nous recommandons à 110% , une belle découverte 👏“

“Highly reccommend! Friendly service, fresh vedgies, beautiful / clean display. Would not hesitate to go back! Thank you, my salad was on point and very delish! Chicken on top was cooked to perfection, not dry at all...“

“I love supporting the students and I love to eat good food so it's a win-win for me. I went the first week of opening and I plan on going soon to see if things improved. The food was quite delicious (a little cold). The staff were nervous and awkward but doing their best. I'm sure their confidence will only increase as they become more experienced. I used to frequent George Brown's Culinary Student restaurant in Toronto and I'm happy to have found Algonquin's equivalent. See you soon 😊“

“A wonderful Friday night experience celebrating a friend’s birthday. Beautiful, relaxing and cosy ambiance, with friendly and prompt service by Luanne. The mixologist really knows what she’s doing with the handcrafted cocktails and each drink was served in just the perfect glass. Charcuterie and mezze platters were unique and delicious. A fantastic spot for date night, solo dining or with a crowd for happy hour.“

“Great place to go for dinner, drinks, or have a party! Vince was super nice and helpful, and we had an amazing time.“

“I usually order the steak. But the onion rings have been terrible lately. Can you go back to the original way. Or give French's fried onions please.“
