“Everything was great! Service, food, quality, quantity and options. There are a handful of options for each type of dish, hot sake and viet coffee with liquor added to it! The taste was authentic and hit the spot. So glad we took a chance on this one bc the outside made me a touch hesitant. Get past it bc it’s worth it!Vegetarian options: There’s a handful of optionsParking: We were staying at a nearby hotel and paid to park there and walked everywhere. Not much street parking available and a little walk from nearby spots, but nothing terrible.“
“Loved this little gem of a hotel in Ottawa. Stayed over Christmas and the decorations were also super cute! They have done renovations as well but my room was large and comfortable pre renovations. I had a little living room and everything. I liked the layout. Good location. Library is also close!“
“We had the best time here. What a nice family!! We try to find the best locally owned businesses when we travel & we are so glad we stumbled upon this place. Very good pizza & really good service. Give it a try.Parking: Parking is across the street. Easy to find. Follow signs. But parking is tight.“
“Been coming to Di Rienzo's for take out lunch for many years. Hands down the best sandwich you'll ever eat. Once you taste one you'll be hooked. Try the spicy eggplant as a garnish it adds so much flavour. My other favourite is the fresh cannolli. Again best I've ever had. I will literally make a special trip and drive half way across the city to get lunch here. Don't be surprised when there is a line up going out the door if you show up at lunch hour. The wait is never long as the staff are super efficient. You'll be in and out in 10 min max. Then enjoy your delicious lunch and tell your friends all about this gem of a spot.“
“Good food, nice people, cozy atmosphere, verry reasonable price. Went years ago and recently got takeout, delicious.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Lots that is gluten free and the staff are typically knowledgeable about the food.“
“It was my boyfriend and my first time at Fatboys and we were not disappointed. The food options were amazing and everything we tried was delicious. We started with chicken wings and deep fried pickles as our appetizers and the Kentucky Derby Platter for our main and we would definitely recommend both. To top it all off the service was excellent and the owner personally came and checked on us! Will be back forsure!“
“This is my third time coming to Ottawa and somehow, I had missed this gem of a place but thankfully discovered it this time around. If you are looking for a true grilled chicken experience (which also is halal), Pili is the place to go! The seasoning is just so balanced, the chicken so tender and flavourful, and the skin charred to perfection.I tried two variations of heat - mild and spicy. You can’t go wrong with either so better to opt for some variety. Even the leftover bits the next day are still so fresh and flavourful.The staff is super friendly and I was greeted every single time with robust hospitality. The dine-in area offers decent seating for even a larger party. It’s hands down the best choice for halal grilled chicken in this part of the town!Dietary restrictions: Offers halal meat“
“Had the lemon/blueberry ice cream at the new Carleton Place location. Simply amazing!! I went back to take some home but they had run out 2 days in a row. Too bad because I live in Mississauga. I have to agree with another review about the waffle cones. They are too thin and crack but otherwise good job!“
“This little ice cream place is a total gem in the heart of Centretown. I totally love their Raspberry dipbars, coffee/brownie sandwich and of course, the Robin egg spring dipbar!The service is always lovely and welcoming. Plus, they are living wage certified!I slowly and surely became a regular. ?Dietary restrictions: Many vegan options!“
“We did the takeout of Cheese Pizza and Chicken Wings. When I went there to takeout they are charming people welcomed us and the service offered by them was superb. Best pizza in town. Must try one time for sure and I guarantee you will love itVegetarian options: Veggie pizza and some other options availableDietary restrictions: They have some special kind of o dietary food requirementsParking: They have parking available on Street and back of the side they have some parking spots available .Kid-friendliness: Yes“
“It was my first time there yesterday and I will def go again. Everyone was very nice and helpful, prices are very reasonable and the food was excellent. I had the Nutella crepe with strawberries and bananas and a vanilla bean latte, my girlfriends had the chicken feta and mixed berries crepes. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Lots of dif coffee options to choose from. They have a decent size patio too!“
“We wish we had more reasons to hire Merry Dairy’s ice cream truck after hiring them to serve ice cream at our wedding. The truck added such a fun element to the evening, and guests loved the surprise and opportunity to stretch their legs while grabbing their dessert. Merry Dairy was exceptional and super easy to work with. They were flexible, reliable, and the staff serving ice cream was super friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. They had a vegan option, too, which especially our guests with dietary restrictions really appreciated. Their ice cream is delicious! Please do yourselves a favour and eat Merry Dairy ice cream.“
“Very delicious, big portions and efficient service!! Noodles were super fresh.We ordered the pancakes, braised beef noodle soup, traditional beef noodle soup and tomato and egg noodle soup.Vegetarian options: Tomato and egg noodles, veggie noodle soup“
“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!“
“Amazing Pizza!!! Customer service was very helpful and friendly. Garlic butter crust is super good, and their garlic-parm dipping sauce was definitely one of a kind! The boneless chicken bites are large and lightly coated with breading.. unlike most places.“
“The first time try the NYF and veggies fries was awesome not too hot not too cold ideal degree to eat it I will recommend my friends and my family to get one when they had chance go to shopping malls.Vegetarian options: Vegetables are really fresh“
“The moment we stepped into this restaurant, we were greeted by a warm atmosphere and a menu that promised an exciting culinary journey. Despite a minor error in our order, the staff's prompt and courteous response was impressive, ensuring our satisfaction. The dishes we sampled were a delightful fusion of flavors, beautifully presented and leaving us eager for our next visit. This small oversight was easily overlooked, thanks to the overall excellence of our dining experience.“
“The food is fresh, organic, healthy, and delicious. Consistently great experience here. Cafeteria style, weight-based pricing.Vegetarian options: It's a vegetarian restaurant so no surprises here! Not sure about vegan options...Kid-friendliness: This is a very open restaurant all age groups come here. Probably not good for a kid's birthday arty, but a family outing is perfect.“
“Super good Mexican restaurant! I had the vegan burrito which was super good, especially when added with all the salsas that are available. The owner Rigo was super nice, he made conversation with us and even offered us nachos. I recommend 100%!“
“Super cute bakery serving up gluten free and vegan baked goodies! I tried their cupcakes in the black forest, lemon love, and raspberry puff flavors. I enjoyed the cake’s moist and deep chocolate flavor. I didnt love the frosting because dairy-free buttercream isn’t my cup of tea (I prefer the flavor from dairy butter and eggs in swiss meringue) but I still enjoyed the cupcakes! Definitely recommend stopping if you’re in the area and looking for vegan + gluten free dessert.“
“Cool place, great service. Benedict eggs are done to perfection. The only downside to this is they don't offer any specialty coffee (latte, espresso, macchiato etc) only regular coffee... It would have been perfect if they had it. Otherwise everything else was great. Pricing is very reasonable! Would return!“
“The price is fair for the amount of food you will be receiving. They’re very generous on the amount of mangos in the mango salad, the ratio is nice.Sadly, the curry was watery, chicken was bland, and the potatoes were a little undercooked. The beef in the pad Thai was very tough, and not seasoned.Everything else tasted good and well seasoned. Soup and Pad Thai was definately our favourite when it came to taste.“
“I already love swinging by LJB when I visit Ottawa for a tasty treat but this was my first experience using their services for a special cake order and I was thoroughly impressed! Super simple and easy process to place the order and my birthday cake exceeded my expectations in both looks and taste! It was a total hit with all those in attendance too! I would definitely recommend LJB to anyone looking to amp their parties with a special cake! :D“
“Cameron at the bar was amazing. Great customer service with a smile. Never had to ask him to fill up my water. He knows how to anitcipate a guests needs and is there even before you realize you need anything. Moxies..Keep this guy around forever. Great Job.“
“A great visit as usual. Probably the best bread in town. The seed bread is a personal favourite. Great service and the atmosphere of a bustling bakery. Don't just stop for bread the treats on offer are also great. We usually end up leaving with at least a coconut oatmeal cookie and a chocolate chip brioche muffin.Parking: A few spots right in front of the bakery with on street parking as a backup. A nearby side street also offers plenty of spots“
“They are the sweetest and most genuine people. I was there with my friend who is vegetarian. She said their food was amazing. I just got a naan for a snack and it was light and delicious.I left my purse behind and we're not from Ottawa. We realized when we got to our car. They had it behind the counter and looked so concerned. Salt of the earth people honestly. Go here“
“We had a family event catered by Cafe Deluxe 2 yrs ago & everyone was pleased & impressed of the food presentation & really freshly delicious!Thank you to the catering manager, Brendan, for such well-organized & great service...highly recommended???“
“This place is amazing! Some work colleagues recommended this shop I was looking for some good coffee and a quick bite to eat, and it most certainly did not disappoint! Next time I'm in Ottawa, I will do what I can to stop by again: simply delightful!PS: My boss is still dreaming about the pastries one week later. :-)“
“Best Thai food in Ottawa, hands down.Had the Lemongrass Beef, Broccoli Beef, Pad Thai, Yellow Chicken Curry. All phenomenal flavours, great portions, and pre-Covid pricing. This place checks every box. Friendly and attentive servers, not a bad thing to say about the place. 10/10 must-try.“
“amazing gluten free and dairy free options. in a dedicated facility. amazing gorgeous celiac or those whit a glute allergy. reasonably priced and everything I've had tastes amazing! I stop in every time I am in town! love this place and wish it was closer“
“Delicious food with an incredible gluten free selection. Knowledgeable staff with top notch service. Kind and accommodating Chef & Owners. Side note...there was a party there for a birthday and Chef Nelio sang...what an amazing voice! Multitalented! The very reasonable prices were a pleasant surprise, would have expected to pay more for the quality of the food. Thank you for accommodating our reservation before our show!“
“Saw a yougn man at cash and yougn lady preparing meals. When I walked in he had just realised that he had overcharged an unsuspecting younger man and woman and promptly and courtesouly corrected his mistake by refunding them (ding), he was making sure everything was tidy and in order for next day as it was close to closing during a late evening early April 2024 wet snow storm (ding), food was affordable and good (ding ... and that a Knock Out). People want that level of professional conduct. I overheard the yougn lady preparing the meals and without breaching business privacy, lets just say I recomnend this place for those who like fast food.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“
“Completely accommodating to us and our two year old daughter. They accepted a last minute easter reservation and set us up in a lovely booth. Food was very well prepared and we tried the gruyere and mushroom dip for the first time and highly highly recommend!We'll done all around!“
“I highly recommend clay oven because they make very delicious food. couple of my favorite dishes are: butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and more! I love how it's a family owned restuarant. The staff there is very friendly and they treat you like family,which I love.“
“One of my absolute favourite Ottawa stores to get treats. You can tell that they use quality ingredients and everything tastes fresh and homemade. Have tried most of their desserts by now and would highly recommend the lemon cheesecake, lemon/milk tarts, blueberry sour cream tart, high jinx cookies, sticky buns and their dream bars. But honestly everything is so good you can’t go wrong!“
“I have been ordering cakes for my kids bday from Keerthi. It’s been 4 years now. She really bakes the cake with love… omg!!!! We never had the remaining cake at the end of our party!!! My family and guests would love the cake from her!!! I have even recommended her to a lot of my friends. She is the must go person if you want the delicious freshly baked cake specially for you…Her flavours and options are wide to choose from!!!She is open to all customization that we ask for!! Thank you Keerthi for making my kids bday cake so yummy!!!!“
“Found this special spot when we searched online for breakfast places! Wow! So good! Americano was perfect, croissant breakfast sandwich delicious, and my husband really enjoyed his Wild plate! Our next trip to Ottawa we will definitely be coming back here. Great service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and fresh bakery treats!!! 5-star all around!“

“They make really good food, they have good, friendly staff and they actually cook their french fries properly. With so many places undercooking their food recently (at least in my experience), it's nice to see a place like this that still makes their french fries correctly, giving them a good crunch and golden texture. The staff are always happy to serve and accommodate customers which is always appreciated. Honestly they're probably the friendliest food service employees I've dealt with in years“
“New York Fries is one of my favourite places to eat, whether it’s here downtown or at any other mall! The servers are always so nice and welcoming, and the poutines never disappoint. There’s very good service and it doesn’t take long for your order to be finished. I absolutely love it here and highly recommend it. The poutine here is honestly absolutely astonishing ! Totally recommend this place when you’re feeling hungry and into the fries and poutine mood.“
“The food was good. But to pay 55$ for a filet mignon and nothing else in the plate was weird to me. Had to pay 9$ for a baked potato as an extra.The server was very nice and she made us feel comfortable with 3 young kids. We never felt like it was an issue.“
“I went to Quelque Chose this past Saturday. I LOVE macarons and they did not disappoint. The service was friendly and efficient. I let them pick my box of 12 as I wanted to taste them all. The only one that wasn't my favourite was the lavender. It smelled beautiful, but it was a bit strong for my liking. The overall tastes from all the other macarons were delightful, it was a full experience to just smell them and then bite into them as each was a flavour explosion. They have discount broken macarons so I also picked up one of those containers and still even though they were broken, they were incredible. I highly recommend a stop off at Quelque Chose if at the ByWard Market. The Macarons are an experience you won't want to miss.“
“I've been ordering from Lorenzo's for 30 years off and on. I've tried other places but I always end up back at Lorenzo's.I know I'm getting quality pizza delivered by someone who does not work for Uber, someone who cares (unless you order from Uber, I don't). A particular shout-out to Kevin, the best delivery driver Ottawa has to offer. Cheers, Lorenzo team!“
“A hidden gem of the western edge of the Ottawa area. The ambience is unmatched, with plush armchairs, fireplaces, and bookshelves loaded with old books. The menu takes inspiration from Korean cuisine and sets new expectations for how good fries can be. Don't skip this place, even if the hike down Falldown is a bit much.“
“I frequent here several times a week because the food is consistently so fresh and delicious, and the staff are always friendly and professional. Great job to the whole team that works here for doing an amazing job everyday that keep bringing people like me back for more.“
“Always love the scones but had today from the lunch menu a triangle sandwich shaped scone with tuna accompanied by a healthy portion of salad. Yummy, wholesome and healthy for a fair price of $8 with $3 for soup. Good thing they are close to my office for more ?“
“Our server Regan was so present, and helpful and just a great waitress. She also seemed to have a good handle on art, we were discussing it and she had some great insights ---- this girl is not just someone who serves you food, she served us on art knowledge.“
“Super down with this spot. Food is top notch - I dare you to find another place that offers this many bread options. The vibe is fun too - open kitchen with staff chatting about funny things, mute colours and a little bit of classic diner grit. Service is also spot on.“
“Incredible service by Blythe! The meals were wonderful, and we were well attended during our visit here for a birthday celebration!! She made this experience as lovely as she was. Top notch and will definitely recommend and return.Thank you Blythe!!“
“Absolutely love the amazing vegan options, and this location has the best service. It’s our go-to lunch in the west end. Their vegan mad cesar and smashed chickpea sammy are to die for. The only bad thing is that they don’t have even more vegan options. I’d love to see the rosemary foccasia back! ❤️“
“Dining here was an absolute pleasure, with an ambiance that sets the perfect stage for a memorable meal and a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes. There was a slight mishap with our order, but the way the staff handled the situation showcased their commitment to guest satisfaction. Each dish we tasted was a testament to the chef's skill, blending taste and presentation seamlessly. Despite the brief confusion, we left with full bellies and happy hearts, planning our return.“
