The best Canadian restaurants Ottawa

Located in Old Ottawa South, Belmont is known for its creative cuisine and house cocktails. It offers small dishes such as raw tuna, gruyere and mushroom fondue, piri-piri chicken or beef tataki, and larger dishes to share with friends called "Family Style". The weekend brunch is also very popular and for the big appetites, we recommend the "Full Belmont" which, as its name suggests, will fill you up. Also worth a visit is The Cameron, another of the group's restaurants located nearby.

Here is an address where you will find everything you need: a very nice selection of local beers (often renewed), a menu with classic pub dishes but also more audacious ones. With its long wooden bar and large windows, this Hintonburg pub is very cozy. Come for a tasty brunch on the weekends or a night out with friends during the week. You'll be able to take the temperature of this hipsterizing neighborhood.

Already the decor sets the tone: the antique mixes with the urban and industrial look, in what was once a cozy little house. The most curious will go behind the fake library to discover the floor below where their other restaurant, Jabberwocky, is located. On the menu, the foodies all agree: it's creative and well-cooked, with a nice proportion of local and sustainable products. Also a perfect place for a happy hour or to finish the evening by sipping one of the many cocktails concocted on the spot. We'll be back!

Stephen Beckta is one of the country's most recognized restaurateurs and is also the head of Play Food & Wine and Gezellig, both located in the capital.

Its table offers a foray into creative cuisine with a good dose of local and even organic products. To fully savor it, opt for the tasting menu. Bonus: a great location in the historic 1875 Grant House.

The concept? For a fixed price, you will be able to try a variety of dishes inspired by Canadian cuisine, using fresh local products.

The restaurant is frequently ranked as one of the best restaurants in Ottawa, and indeed in Canada. Needless to say, reservations are a must at this culinary temple.

Housed in the heart of the chic, award-winning Fairmont Château Laurier, this restaurant is renowned for its fascinating culinary creations.
