“Delicious Dal Fry and Kardai Chicken. Rich flavour and texture on both. (But I will skip the raita next time -- too watery!)”
“The food was absolutely delicious, and we loved the egg rolls they surprised us with when we got home (thank you 😊). The free egg rolls may have been due to some miscommunication on pick up time when we ordered online, we even waited an additional 15 mins after arriving, but that did not take away from how incredibly flavorful the food was! We came wait to eat there again!!”
“We had two different pizzas and both were perfectly done. Fresh tasting ingredients and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!”

“So... there should be a 5 stars plus rating. I was getting my car serviced a couple of doors down and had my baby with me so I decided to go grab a coffee while I waited..well, the smell as soon as I walked in had me hungry instantly so I got some samosas for my wait, umm yum! I ended up leaving with a bag full of food, and all I have to say is, wow! The unmatchable customer service from the 2 ladies that served me unbelievable. Highly recommend! Thank you so much ladies I give your customer service 10 stars ❤️”

There was a delightful selection of pastries and 4 types of homemade preserves, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, turkey, ham, sausage, potatoes, cheeses, cereals, yogurt amongst other delightfully items.

“Majid our waiter was super nice, efficient and the food was brought to our table in a very coordinated well (hummus and babaghanoug and the salad before the grillades). We didn’t feel at any point that we were missing something at the table and he was very generous and courteous”
“Shoutout to All Out Burger in Embrun!! Hands down my new favorite takeout joint!! I live in casselman and im commiting to this amazing food heaven! Im only upset that I waited a whole year before stopping by after it opened. Yes they deliver in casselman for a small fee just call them and you will be immediatly hooked to their food!!!”
“I was craving shawarma and found this place on my way home from work. I'm new to Ottawa and my shawarma standards are high because my hometown has amazing shawarma that no other spots have come close to and I've tried many places already in Ottawa. Let me tell you, this place DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Amazing shawarma every bit of it! I will definitely be returning. The best I've had in Ottawa by FAR!”

“We have visited twice so far and the food is always délicieux. We can't get enough of the Rosebowl Platter for 2. Can't go wrong with this option. You get a little bit of everything.”
“Went here yesterday, really loved the ambience and the reflect of Nepali culture as the interior. I loved all food, everything was delicious. My favorite was the selroti achar and chowmein with their chutney. It gave me a typical Nepali taste and it felt so good. The service was lovely. Thank you so much for serving us and making our experience beautiful overall. Special thanks to the cook and the friendly young guy and girl who was in the cashier. Definitely recommend when you visit Ottawa and you’re craving some good Nepali food!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Great space. Warm service. Great for a quick bite, or a multiple course adventure. Everything was seasoned incredibly. The pizzas are nice and light, and balanced. I recommend getting a couple and sharing. Beers are cold. Cocktails are dope. The staff seemed stoked. Everything was great. Ottawa staple for me.”
“We went tonight for our friend’s birthday. Food was amazing, drinks were good, service was excellent. 10/10 recommend. Note it is small inside, very quaint. As a person with a young baby, I won’t be bringing her (my daughter) there; we’ll keep it for a date night 😅”
“we went here for Father's day and was greatly pleased. The smoked meat was fresh and delicious. fries and onion rings were great. It was clean and the service was awesome. all the staff and kind and pleasant. it was a great experience, would highly recommend and will go back.”
“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.”

“Tayaba was excellent,very polite, very efficient and probably the best experience I've had at Tim Hortons in a long time. Lately I've found Tim Hortons has lost their customer service and quality but not at this location especially with Tayaba's polite and friendly demeanor. Very professional and a reminder of what Tm Hortons used to be.”
“We love Kettlemans! Customer service is a little unfriendly and rude, depending on the days (service is better at Landsdowne location from my experience). But the bagels are consistently great!
Just one thing: there are NEVER any blueberry bagels left, even if you go around 10AM. It is such a popular item... I don't get why they just don't make more!?”
“I recommend Kettlemans as the food is good and they have good variety. That said. The service is sub-par. My wife and I stop here regularly on Sunday Mornings about 7 am 2 or 3 times a month. Consistently nobody greets us even though there are many workers who make eye contact and just keep doing whatever they're doing. More often than not we have to call out to get attention after waiting several minutes at the front counter. Management doesn't seem to value customer service and simply expects people to keep coming back as if Kettlemans' history entitles them to customers. That is a surprising attitude in an otherwise excellent store.”
“AMAZING food! High quality Restaurant food for a take out. Try the eggplant quorma, or lamb shank or the shami platters. So so so good, can’t recommend this place enough!!”
“My family really loves to eat here.I celebrated my birthday tonight and we had fun we’re all satisfied.It is worth the price!!I also appreciate Sherry for serving us.She is really nice and patient even if we never stopped ordering.Thank you so much!!”
Takeout Restaurants
“My family enjoyed a take-out meal last night from Sula Wok. I would describe it as incredibly tasty, evocative flavours, large portion sizes and generally a fantastic gastronomical delight! The chicken samosas were the best I have had anywhere in Ottawa, in short - awesome. The mango-ginger sauce for the samosas was also exceptional. My entrèe was the Tibetan Fried noodles with tofu. The portion was generous and carefully prepared. The spices were delightful, the vegetables were fresh, plentiful and throughout the meal rather than just placed on top. Every bite was delicious. Thank you Sula Wok for the best take-out meal I have enjoyed in years! I highly recommend this restaurant. It definitely deserves a five star rating.”
“Had the best time hosting our group party here! The vegan and glutenfree options were fantastic! 🍲”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This was a highlight of our trip to Ottawa! It was difficult to find a good variety of gluten free options downtown. The Orange Turtle was amazing! They had multiple gluten free cookies to choose from as well as many other yummy gluten treats. The mango cranberry banana bread was delicious. The owner was very kind and friendly as we enjoyed chatting with him. The coffee was also very good. We will be going back here next time we are in Ottawa.”
“Dining at Moul Hanout in Ottawa was an unforgettable experience that transported me straight to Morocco. From the moment I stepped into the cozy eatery, I was greeted with the warm hospitality of owners Souhail Bouachri and Kawtar Boutbaa, a husband-and-wife duo from Essaouira. Their passion for authentic Moroccan cuisine shines through in every dish. I savored the chicken tajine, a delightful combination of tender chicken, olives, and fries, all simmered in a flavorful sauce. The seafood pastilla was equally impressive, with a crisp pastry enveloping a generous filling of shrimp and vermicelli noodles. Each meal was complemented by a complimentary cup of refreshing Moroccan mint tea. The owners' stories of their hometown and their commitment to preserving Moroccan culinary traditions made the dining experience even more special. Whether you're a connoisseur of Moroccan cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, Moul Hanout offers a genuine taste of Morocco that feels like a home away from home.”
“From the food and drinks to the service and the ambiance, I honestly feel like I’m in Montréal whenever I eat here. It’s definitely become my favourite restaurant in Ottawa. Everything on the menu is to die for and the spicy margaritas are some of the best I’ve ever had. We were there on a Wednesday evening and it was so lively that I would’ve thought it was a Saturday evening!”
“My wife and my favourite food in the world are meat and cheese pies. Everyone needs to try these pies and then add them to their lives as a staple food. There’s nothing like ordering pies and eating them right away in your car. So flavourful, so gooey and cheesy. Get them with spice and lemon juice, Omg! I feel like I’m writing an erotic novel rather than a review but they are that amazing!”
“Had just the best, freshest dinner this week there . The staff are so helpful and it was fun getting to have a “ bowl” with exactly what you want to eat! The owner was actually there very pleasant man. Interesting and truly a delight. I never heard of this place or been there and I’m really really happy I found out about it. I’ll be back for sure.. thank you Mad Radish for a healthy great dinner at a reasonable price.”
“The staff at this place are the high point of the experience. They know the fine details of the menu and make great recommendations regarding both food and drink. The food is terrific as well. I have never been disappointed.”

“Randomly came across Keerthi on Instagram and messaged her. From the moment we first started chatting, we just knew she had to be the one to make our wedding cake. Keerthi is such a kind, respectful, supportive woman and is incredibly talented. Her pricing is great, her cake flavour combinations are delicious, she makes the best bento sized sample cakes (large enough for the whole family to do the tasting with you) and is an effective communicator. We chose a two tier cake and she knocked the look and flavours of each tier out of the park. We would definitely contact her again for future events. We now have a friend and amazing baker we can turn to for our future life events. Thank you so much Keerthi :) would highly recommend”
“As a wedding photographer, I always want couples to walk away from events with a little treat that leaves a lasting impression – and Batter Up Bakery absolutely delivered! I ordered a batch of custom cookies for a wedding venue open house, and they were a huge hit with everyone who attended. Jamie-Lynn nailed the simple, elegant design I envisioned, and the cookies tasted absolutely delicious. Working with her was such a joy – she’s attentive, creative, and so easy to communicate with. If you're looking for sweet treats that look and taste amazing, I can't recommend Batter Up Bakery enough! 🌟”
“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.”
“As a visitor to Canada, I must say, this was singlehandedly the best food experience we had in 14 days in here (and we eat out every day through Toronto, Montréal, Québec, Kingston and Ottawa. Well worth the visit.”
“Great space. Warm service. Great for a quick bite, or a multiple course adventure. Everything was seasoned incredibly. The pizzas are nice and light, and balanced.

Cheap Eats
“We ordered 8 sandwiches - and they were all made by the time we would have ordered 1 Subway sandwich!
This place is stealth. It looks like a little convenience store but packs a punch. Lots of meat and toppings on the sandwiches. Thick Italian buns and generous with the toppings.
We are visiting from BC - this was worth a stop!
** the cannoli - the BEST we have ever tasted. The filling is perfect!!! **”
“Taco 🌮 Tuesdays are a great deal. Chicken or beef, both are delicious. Everything is very fresh. The tortilla soup is epic, it's my favourite. They are easy to find, have ample parking, as well as picnic tables if you want to eat there. Fast, efficient, and the food is made by a man who is as talented as he is kind.”
“These amazing ladies make it so easy and enjoyable to eat vegan. I'm obsessed with all of the sweets, especially the Cinnamon roll with that frosting!!! The homemade seitan "pulled phork" sandwich is to die for. Love the mozza sandwich! The almond and chocolate croissants are out of this world. The Nanaimo bars are a real sweet treat, hard to pace myself lol. The smores brownie is my daughter's fave. I get to visit them every day before work and it's got me feeling so blessed🥰. Thank you, my dear bakery!”
“The food was impeccably juicy and delicious but we were not given any sauce or salad with our platters, we paid for saj bread but still got pita bread. I understand they were busy but forgetting to include our salads and sauce is rather insulting for the price we paid.”
“Geoff and his staff at Morning Owl Woodward prepared a delicious sandwich, veggie, fruit and pastry lunch for our staff at Halpenny Insurance. Morning Owl is a real gem in the Carlington community. Amazing service, exceptional coffee and food, and wonderful catering. Geoff and his staff always greet their customers with a smile and bend over backwards for anyone who visits. Many thanks!”
“Amuse was such a special treat this evening for our anniversary!. so glad we finally got to try this little gem in Bridlewood. Service was excellent and the food was spectacular! we will be back!”
“We went tonight for our friend’s birthday. Food was amazing, drinks were good, service was excellent. 10/10 recommend. Note it is small inside, very quaint. As a person with a young baby, I won’t be bringing her (my daughter) there; we’ll keep it for a date night 😅”
“I love the food here. I had sushi yesterday and it was delicious. My mother ordered a salmon poke bowl and it looked so fresh and delish too! The only thing I wish they can improve is the space between the tables, The place is a bit crowded. But overall food and service is great.”
“From the moment we walked in the service was attentive and friendly. The bread and dips are a flavour journey and the kebab platter left my mouth watering long after the meal was over!”
“Delicious food!! The staff were great and being new to Indian Food advised us on choices. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Portions were generous, lovely and clean.”
“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.”
“First time trying the pizza here at Giovanni’s Snack Bar and Pizzeria. Absolutely delicious!! Ordered the Margarita Pizza. Giovanni was extremely kind from the moment I walked in until I left today. I would highly recommend choosing Giovanni’s the next time you are craving pizza or when you’re in the area!”
“Went in randomly for lunch. Ordered spicy chicken with rice. It came with salad on side I think it’s seaweed.
I was quite surprised how nicely spiced it was and how huge the proportion was. It was hot and I loved every bit of it. Presentation was great too.
I have never had Chinese food this good before. Definitely coming back.”
“I've been eatting Greeks to go since 2006. I've moved acrossed the country and I crave them so much. They have remembered me and when I come back to Ottawa, they are very accommodating. Every single time I go back, I HAVE to have their delicious food. If you want to try, mouth water food, eat here. Want great serve, eat here. Want a meal you won't forget, EAT HERE..... Mmmmmmm, now I wish I was there, trust me, its that good.”
“Visited while on a trip to Ottawa, so glad we did. Staff are super friendly and accommodating, lots of games to choose from (although we brought our own from a recent purchase at Imaginaire and they charge you less if you bring your own games so, bonus!). We didn't have any food but the cappucino I had was fabulous (and a great portion size). The nerd trivia upstairs on Monday seemed fun, although not our topic (Star Trek not being either of our forte). This is a great place, highly recommended.”
“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!!! 💕 🍹🍸”

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!”
“What a discovery to walk into Carlingwood Mall in the West End of Ottawa, Ontario and find this hidden gem of a restaurant. The buffet was delectable with abundant choice of fresh salads and traditional Pakistani/Indian recipes. The butter chicken was delicious and tender. The tandoori and beef dishes were done to perfection. And there was more than enough choice for vegetarians. The pricing is great and the friendly serving staff most helpful. Ask for their wonderful garlic and red pepper hot sauce. Heavenly!”
“(I would have given this place a FIVE STAR rating, but as well as vegan dishes, they also serve animals, which is horrific. So…) Excellent, friendly service! VERY CLEAN! The vegan food was AMAZING!! SO flavourful, and filling!! (I had General Tso's V Chickun) I'll be back for more from their vegan menu. :)”
“Love the fried chicken! Such wonderful attention to detail in the food, packaging, and service.”
“Incredibly delicious pizza! The crust is pretty special…light and crispy but not overly done. High quality toppings. It’s evident that a lot of care and pride goes into their cooking.”
“We had a great experience with our online order of 2 chicken grills. The food was ready to be picked up about 30 minutes after the order. The chicken grills were plentiful and absolutely delicious. A great experience!”
“First time ordering take out. Everything was fantastic, no regrets. Thanks you for creating a fantastic meal for friends.”
“Première essaie aujourd'hui à la succursale de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu et c'est le meilleur bol poké que j'ai jamais mangé. Merveilleux👍”
“Went to Fatboys for the first time tonight and it won’t be our last. After waiting for a seat we were met by the owner who welcomed us and told us we would enjoy the food and he wasn’t wrong we had the Kentucky shared platter and it was definitely filling and the price was affordable. Our server was Emma who filled our drinks and told us what food was coming and what dips were available. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Will definitely be back”
“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.”

“great space, awesome knowledgeable staff, incredible wine list and they were even able to accommodate a fussy vegan with fresh flavourful food.”
“I love Paradise Poke and am a pretty regular customer but : the girl who prepared my meal today, which included handling my food directly with her gloved hands, turned around and punched in my order on the screen and then turned over the screen to me for me to complete my purchase so I also touched the screen. That made be uncomfortable. Touching my food and the screen that all of the customers also touch… what’s the point of wearing gloves? The person preparing food should not also be doing the cash.”
“Wonderful as always. Been here several times because I have to show off this Stittsville gem to everyone I know. This is the best brunch experience there is in the Ottawa area. Great and attentive service, delicious food, upscale ambience, the value is unmatched.”
“True to their name, their sushi is indeed gourmet. Each roll has its own unique taste, unlike other sushi shops in the same price range that have a common base and just add different sauces and call it a different roll. Definitely an affordable treat for evenings you want to chill at home and order takeout.
Recommend: takoyaki, oshinko yam roll, and aburi dragon of any type.”
“Absolutely incredible experience at Corner Peach. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable but this does not get in the way of good humour and natural charm. Every staff member we interacted with made the experience that much better and the food was perfectly portioned for a dinner for two. Really impressed with the service, especially navigating a gluten and dairy free menu”
“Excellent service, great food and ambiance. Tasted the best baklava! 😋”
“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!”
“Myself and my 2 guests had brunch yesterday and everything about our experience was fantastic. We sat on the beautiful quiet patio and we were accommodated to move to the shade with no hesitation. The cocktails were delish and the food was "lick your plate if I could in public" next level! Our server was kind and professional and I hope to visit again next time I am in Ottawa 😊”
“The food has been Wonderful! Like you are in Korea. The Kimchi was delicious, as was the exceptional Bulgogi and Jeyuk. The Dongas taste as good and tasty as a wienerschnitzel but then better! You go here for the food and friendly service. The ambiance is alright, but very clean!”
“My sister and I have been obsessed with Korean movies for sometime now and we decided to try out some of their dishes and honestly we loved it here. The meals were delicious. I highly recommend here. Very calm ambiance, conservative and neat. Friendly staff. The food portion is quite large. Delicious meal 😍. A very amazing first time experience 🤩.”
“Amazing food! So delicious and the presentation is wonderful! A wonderful place for a night out with loved ones or friends”

“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, amazing staff. Absolutely loved our experience!!”
“This was a great experience and delicious food. We visited twice during our family vacation and we were amazed by the quality and amount of food provided. If I lived in Ottawa, I would take the whole family at least 1 a week. Just fo and prove me wrong.”

“I have been going to Golden Baguette for about 10 years now! Everything is fresh and tasty with great prices. The owners are a lovely couple always greeting me with a warm smile. My go-to is their Wonton soup! It's so yummy and filling! I live in the east end but my offices are only a 10-minute walk from their location, so i was worried that the pandemic might force them to close but luckily, they are still the best hidden gem on Bank Street! Depending on my work schedule I go there once or twice a week because I crave their comfort food! I LOVE Golden Baguette!!”
“Was heading downtown to the Colonnade but the traffic was backed up at Woodroffe Avenue so decided to try the Carling location. Ended up being a very good decision. Italian salad and pizza as good, if not better, than downtown. Our server, Roman, was excellent. He provided great service and you can tell he enjoys what he does, many thanks. No more trips downtown!”
“Dining at Moul Hanout in Ottawa was an unforgettable experience that transported me straight to Morocco. From the moment I stepped into the cozy eatery, I was greeted with the warm hospitality of owners Souhail Bouachri and Kawtar Boutbaa, a husband-and-wife duo from Essaouira. Their passion for authentic Moroccan cuisine shines through in every dish. I savored the chicken tajine, a delightful combination of tender chicken, olives, and fries, all simmered in a flavorful sauce. The seafood pastilla was equally impressive, with a crisp pastry enveloping a generous filling of shrimp and vermicelli noodles. Each meal was complemented by a complimentary cup of refreshing Moroccan mint tea. The owners' stories of their hometown and their commitment to preserving Moroccan culinary traditions made the dining experience even more special. Whether you're a connoisseur of Moroccan cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, Moul Hanout offers a genuine taste of Morocco that feels like a home away from home.”
“Recently, we stepped through the doors of Pâtisserie Élina, a true temple of indulgence where each creation challenges our expectations while tantalizing our taste buds. The Black Forest cake, cleverly shaped like a cherry, is a masterpiece of trompe-l'œil that leaves a lasting impression. Next to it, the audacious marriage of lemon and peach, delicate in its execution, reveals a subtle harmony of flavors. Each dessert presents itself as a work of art, where aesthetics compete with taste—and that’s where the magic happens. Less sugar, but more fruit, ensuring explosions of flavor with each bite. The chef's technical prowess is undeniably impressive, transforming simple ingredients into a gustatory symphony. If you’re seeking a pastry experience that combines visual beauty with delightful flavors, don’t miss this address. Pâtisserie Élina stands out as an essential stop for all lovers of refined sweets.”

“I have been dreading this review for a while now, but things are not improving! Tonight, February 15th, they had a fixed 4 course dinner for $100. I called in advance because I was dining alone at the bar and inquired if I needed reservations. No mention of the $100 menu. Sat at the bar, was ignored by all the staff. First course didn't show up. Second course showed up and I asked where the first one was. They brought it after. The third course, the short rubs, was cold, as was my food the last 3 times we went there. i returned it and version 2 was better. Dessert was a very uneventful creme brulée. This is my third ( possibly 4th time) discretely providing feedback. Getting a comped dessert or small glass of wine. I was really rooting for this restaurant, but it is mismanaged and really needs to get their act. Cocotte no more!”
“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.”
“This was our third year in a row hosting a large dinner (13 people) in the private room downstairs, and each and every time it's been the perfect experience. The AV equipment is a breeze to set up, we control the volume of the music and the temperature in the room. That space, the team, the set menu they offer- just the best!”

“Went here yesterday, really loved the ambience and the reflect of Nepali culture as the interior. I loved all food, everything was delicious. My favorite was the selroti achar and chowmein with their chutney. It gave me a typical Nepali taste and it felt so good. The service was lovely. Thank you so much for serving us and making our experience beautiful overall. Special thanks to the cook and the friendly young guy and girl who was in the cashier. Definitely recommend when you visit Ottawa and you’re craving some good Nepali food!”
“This place made me feel like if I was in Italy once again! The food was great and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We shared a sandwich between two people since the portions were big. And we finished it off with 2 cannoli. The atmosphere was definitely pleasant, very relaxed. You can play some board games while you wait for the food. Will come back to try the other sandwiches.”
“An absolute must for sushi connoisseurs
Perfectly cooked and seasoned rice, high quality seafood that has been skillfully prepared and melts in your mouth! I ordered the Chirashi, my usual go-to, and was not disappointed - hands down the best I’ve had in many years. If you love good sushi, you don’t want to miss out on this hidden gem. Make yourself a reservation - it’s well worth the trip, even if you don’t live in Orleans.”
“My first time to Barrio with my daughter and two friends was a very fun time. We enjoyed the flavourful drinks and the shared appetizers- a salad and carpaccio ( thinly sliced vegetable dish). We each chose a main which we also shared. The salmon, chicken and braised beef were all delicious.
We talked ourselves into sharing the chocolate dessert and the three milk cake. A good decision.
Our waitress was friendly and accommodating. At the end I ordered a take out sandwich which she carefully packed each food item separately so nothing got soggy.
The Latino decor was refreshing and inviting. I hope to return soon.”

“Majid our waiter was super nice, efficient and the food was brought to our table in a very coordinated well (hummus and babaghanoug and the salad before the grillades). We didn’t feel at any point that we were missing something at the table and he was very generous and courteous”
