    One of Ottawa's gems, we had an amazing time on Valentine's Day. Despite the weather and busy time, the place was spotless and well kept. Decor was amazing. The food was to die for, focusing on doing fundamentals really well. We will definitely be back.

    Gezellig was outstanding on this Valentine's Day lunch. It was busy as one would expect on Valentine's Day, but the hostess and serving staff and kitchen were up to the challenge. I love the two features to choose from option for lunch. They change the offerings from time to time. The Radicchio Salad and Ricotta Gnudi were great and my friend had the Artisanal cheeses which were also great. The sun was streaming in the windows. Service was excellent. It was a treat.
