Canadian Restaurants near Gatineau, QC

“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 👏“

“Nourriture excellente et prix raisonnables. Notre serveur: Cameron, était d’un grand professionnalisme et rapide. Courtois et sympathique. Je recommande vivement.“

“Set menu, 5 course meal, and 5 stars. Each course was delicious. Lovely atmosphere, great service and a wonderful date night by the water.“

“La nourriture était excellente aujourd'hui, rien à dire là-dessus. Par contre, le service était assez médiocre. J'attendais parler tout les clients se plaindre sur la terrasse du mauvais service. Attente interminable pour tous. J'ai attendue forever pour un sceau de glace pour mon vin blanc, j'ai eux le temps de finir mon wrap avant qu'elle arrive avec la mayo et mon fils attendait aussi son Ketchup et à fini par manger ses doigts de poulets froid. On avait tous notre lunch, mais pas d'ustensiles, pas de napkins, etc etc etc... Assez ordinaire.“

“Le service est formidable et vos serveurs(serveuses) ont toujours le sourire aux lèvres!!! Je le recommande avec joie“

“Sa coche très bon wow meilleur service ever !!!“

“I’m giving café escale a 5 star review solely based on the customer service I receive each and every time from Nancy. Management should consider her an huge asset to the business and use her as an example of how all staff at escale should communicate with their clientele.“

“Le meilleur resto-bar sportif du Plateau. 🏒🚨🍔🍻“

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

“Miscommunication with one of our 6 dinners, but they were very quick to listen, and correct the error with a change of meal.

It was a very busy dinner time, they did have 6 birthday dinners happening just in our time there.

Thanks, Montana's on Merivale Rd. in Napean! (Server: Rob aka. Party!)“

“Outstanding experience, from the service to the food. I took Istanbul Basha and felt could feed 2 persons, keep up the great work“

“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.“

“Beef short ribs were delicious. Creme brûlée was excessively sweet for my tastes. Downstairs restaurant has a lovely vibe, but private room upstairs was not very aesthetically pleasing, non-accessible for those with mobility issues and overly hot. Would not recommend that space. Service was excellent but very slow overall for a big group. I'd return but to the restaurant not the private event space.“

“Thank you Chris for the friendly and great service yesterday, while we celebrated my daughter's graduation from Ottawa U . It was nice to relax and enjoy our delicious food. This is our favorite restaurant.“

“Update: We went here for my bday and Anniversary dinner. As always Chef Ryan's food was outstanding. Did an extensive review on trip advisor for our end of May 2026 visit.

The food here is always delicious. Its always a culinary treat for us. Real comforting well balanced food, rich in flavours, perfectly cooked proteins with seasonal ingredients and textural notes to round out the dishes.

Always look forward to our visits here. For us one its one of the absolute best restaurants in ottawa. CHEF Ryan always delivers 🙌 👌 a memorable meal and experience for us.

My wife and I have eaten here on 7 occasions. We really enjoy Chef Ryan's creative, delicious food. We go back every menu change and we have always had great service, a wonderful ambiance and great views of the city. Weve enjoyed dishes of foie gras, scallops, shortribs, pork belly, innovative salads and never has one disappointed. Most importantly however is the excellent quality sourced ingredients and food prepared and expedited with care. See you soon! We highly recommend this restaurant and always tell friends about it.“

“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!“

“Delicious food with interesting and well-balanced spice mix. Portions are ample, but not excessive, and price-to-food ratio feels fair. The service was outstanding, in the sense that the staff were friendly in a genuine manner. I did take-out, so I can not speak to the quality of dine-in service. The ambiance is fine, the restaurant has the vibe of a place where you would expect a group of Middle-Eastern seniors to hang out and have tea all day, that sort of coziness. Nothing flashy, but completely fine. We’ll be back for sure.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I love it here… amazing spot. It felt like we got a dinner invite to an artsy grandma’s crib. Seriously perfect atmosphere. No fearful ‘big light,’ just cozy yellows all around. We decided on the shared Daily Feast: three elevated Irish dishes which were sufficient enough to *perfectly* stuff my hungry date and me. To nitpick, the meat and mash course could’ve been warmer; however, the place was packed… I’ll let it slide happily! Everything was either delicious, good, or not-my-thing (shortbread dessert… my enemy). The service was chill and decently paced, even through the chaos of customers / a full house. I’m ANTSY to return for a cozy breakfast! Awesome recommendation from my gal Judey. :)“

“Amazing gastronomical dining experience.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, excellent service! Just enjoyed a beautiful buffet with a wonderful selection of international dishes, plus scrumptious desserts! The hostess, servers, and chefs were very courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend checking out this gem!“

“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 .“

“Maddy the late night bartender was amazing. The front of house staff seated us quickly and were the kindest! Maddy provided fantastic service, she was kind and accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. We love craft, we always come. Tonights service, from front of house to bartender really needed a review, all fantastic and really do care about customer experience.“

“We love the breakfast buffet at Daly's and go regularly with our young kids. The staff are all amazing! Cant say enough good things about the service from all the kind servers and hosts at Daly's who all go out of their way to make sure we have a great brunch.“

“This place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just dropping by for the view. The marina is well-kept, and the sunsets over the water are gorgeous. I like how the clubhouse has decent food and a casual patio. Downsides? It’s not super beginner-friendly unless you’re joining a program, and parking can be tight during events. Still, it’s a solid spot to unwind by the water or get out on a boat.“

“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.“

“Awesome space for group events!“

“Stop reading this and go. Sooooooo delicious…. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“I really enjoyed my green curry bowl and a hoppy pint. A curry dish is one I don't often reach for, but I went on the recommendation of the server. I really enjoyed it and I definitely recommend it to others. It's not spicy and it was filling for lunch.“

“My husband and I visited the Spin Kitchen bar for drinks to celebrate our anniversary. We came to Ottawa to celebrate. We met some amazing people that were also visiting. It truly was a great evening and the staff are very friendly and social.“

“I happen to be a transgendered woman wearing my dress being with a sister friend -I was very nervous as being transgendered yes busy when came in the atmosphere the staff the waitress was so open comfortable waitress serving us great“

“Cool vibe, great staff, delicious eats, validated parking…nothing but good things to say! Went for brunch today and will definitely be back…looking forward to trying the whole menu!!“

“Cat with a K at Milestones Restaurant truly made our Valentine's Day dinner a memorable experience. She was a spectacular waitress, attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. She offered great recommendations and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful evening.

Her excellent service truly elevated our dining experience. The food was delicious, the ambiance was lovely, and Kat's exceptional service made the evening even more special. We cannot recommend her highly enough - she is amazing at what she does and made us feel like valued guests.

Thank you, Kat, for making our Valentine's Day at Milestones Restaurant so fantastic. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing you again!“

“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.“

“We went for Capital city bites on a week night. The menu was a set course but a lot of the dishes were off the regular menu. Everything was outstanding. I never imagined cabbage could taste this good. I know they are a wine bar but their cocktails were fantastic as well. Everything we ate was delicious, the scallops, cretons, beef tartare, cabbage, bread and butter, the mushroom pasta and the beef short rib. Would 100% recommend. Service was amazing, our server was attentive, had great knowledge of the dishes, very pleasant to chat with. Its the perfect date night or celebration spot.“

“We actually had a bad experience at Kelseys back in 2023, but I am so incredibly glad we decided to give it another try. The biggest reason we keep coming back week after week is our amazing waitress, Anne!
Anne is always absolutely awesome. She completely turned our perception of this location around, and her fantastic service and welcoming attitude make our weekly visits something we genuinely look forward to. If you go, definitely ask for Anne—she’s the absolute best!“

“Went to celebrate my birthday what a great choice. The service was excellent, The food was beautiful presented and the taste was amazing. Not our first visit and won't be our last.“

“Aiana Restaurant Collective is exceptional in every way. The food is delicious, the service is outstanding, and the owners truly care about both their staff and the community. They provide employee benefits and support local shelters. I enjoy supporting a restaurant with such amazing food and equally amazing values.“

“Wonderful fondue in the winter!“

“Excellent food drink and service“

“I wish I could give bonus stars - the entire team at Lago is exceptional and crafted a space and a meal beyond my imagination! Gyneya is a one of a kind human being who cares deeply about having only the best experiences for couples and guests. From the very beginning, we knew we needed Lago to be part of our story. I was obsessed with their food - everyone told me it was amazing there, but wow, it is so good! I may have had a slightly unhealthy obsession with their lemon meringue tart dessert and they snuck me one in before the ceremony for a boost! They also made the kids specialty drinks so they could have a treat. And the bartender also sent over a custom cocktail that they suggested based on other drinks I was choosing. It was my favourite cocktail ever! They truly care about making it the perfect personalized experience. What also spoke to us is the fact that our other vendors raved about Lago. They’re known in the industry as best in the business. You NEED to have your wedding here.“

“Went there for Sunday brunch with some friend. delicious! It is busy, so you can't stay their too long to mingle. that's the only negative part.“

“As a tourist I came here looking for something different from a typical US diner and wasn't disappointed. They serve poutine in some of their breakfast meals, and their dark gravy was very delicious and unique.There are tons of options for milkshake, and the shake portion was huge and served directly in the shake machine cup. Blackberry shake was fine; a bit too sweet and fruit flavor not outstanding. Interior was lovely, clean and no frills and just I want to experience when going to a diner.“
