Best Lunch Restaurants in ByWard Market

Food was amazing, as usual. We had 8 of the 10 dishes on the menu with 2 desserts shared between the 4 of us. We left feeling pleasantly satisfied. Unfortunately I've forgotten our servers name, but he was great! Divided our dishes up in to courses so our table never felt crowded. Did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and describing all the food and drinks brought to the table. Over a great experience. High level of quality and execution, in a more relaxed and cozy environment.

As usual, the Dicken’s Buffet at the Chateau Laurier’s Wilfred’s restaurant was a lively way ti kick off the Christmas season. The food is wonderful and the ambiance spectacular. It is a perennial favourite.

The atmosphere is delightful. It’s a mix of old world marble museum with modern comforts and flair. The staff is knowledgeable without being pretentious. Hanan was our server, and she was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, sought help when needed (wine pairings), and the right amount of attentive without hovering. The food was an amazing experience with every bite, and our wine pairing was perfect. Try the yellowfin tuna tartare with the Chablis, and the risotto with the Paul Jaboulet Aîné Syrah. The nose on the wine was worth every dollar, especially after it had aired out a bit. I wish I could afford to come here every month!

Pianist was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. It was an enjoyable evening. I highly recommend.

We requested a booth on the reservation and they didnt reserve one at first but then were able to accomodate us. The server was great, very friendly and quick. The food and drinks were delicious. Ambience is perfect for all occasions. Only note the prime rib cut was very fatty, and it took 3 ladies at the front to issue me a single gift card… more training i think is needed.
