Best Seasonal Restaurants in Downtown

Always a great time at Joey’s. Despite the big group (we were 8) service was super efficient and food was excellent as always and we made it in time to the Ottawa Charge at TD place

If you want to feel boujie (not on a budget) this is the place to be. We reserved a table for 4 which came with bottomless mimosas and 3 course set menu, $69 per person including tip. The service was amazing; they accommodated a last minute gluten allergy and my friends were late to the reservation. The server was super understanding and didn’t rush us, so we definitely appreciated all of this. We started with scones (they were tiny - pictured in the cage) with a very modest serving of preserves for 4 people. The second course you could choose one of two options from the set menu, both are pictured. We got 3 eggs Benny at our table and everyone’s poached eggs were hard (we wanted runny yolk, maybe ask for that specifically if that’s what you want as the server didn’t ask). My partner also had a tiny serving of preserves with his meal (as seen in the photo). We asked for more preserves for my partners extra scones that came with his meal and they allowed that- so thank you! Overall we were expecting more bang for our buck. We found that the cost for the amount and quality of food didn’t add up, however the atmosphere and bottomless mimosas was exactly what we needed. We will be returning for the vibes and nibbles but eating a meal elsewhere as the cost for value didn’t make sense.

We both had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fauna last night. The server and the sommelier were both extremely helpful and friendly with all of our requests and questions. Thank you to the whole team.

Went above and beyond to celebrate a birthday, and all the food was amazing.

Our server explained each dish and they did not disappoint, definitely in my top 5 all-time favourite meals.
