    NeXT consistently delivers one of the best dining experiences in Ottawa. The rotating menu keeps things fresh and interesting for returning clients while retaining the same quality we've come to expect from chef Michael Blackie and his team. NeXT's menu can best be described as creative fine dining. A fusion between traditional European and global cuisine (predominantly Asian inspired). We have always ordered the tasting menu option which comes with 8 dishes for sharing spread across 4 waves. 3 waves are savory and the final is dessert. Chef's choice for the dishes, however they will accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences if possible. I would not consider this a small plates type of restaurant if you choose to try the tasting menu, come hungry! The drinks menu is well thought out and the cocktails pair well with the meal. Expect fine dining prices, but we have always felt that the value for your money, especially with the tasting menu is very good.

    The food was DELICIOUS!!! The service was great but the music was not very good. It was mostly breakup songs and it just doesn’t seem like the right clientele for that. Maybe play something a little softer like a chill playlist on Spotify. Or even something instrumental. I could hardly hear my friend talking over the music. It didn’t set a very good vibe. BUT everything else was wonderful. Will be back again.

    Excellent meal as always. The food is delicious. We ordered pita with whipped feta, shrimp, half haloumi salad, half chicken and EVOO fries. Absolute perfection! We brought home some and the smell of it being re-heated immediately took me back to our delicious meal. Highly recommend EVOO.
