With a name that means "cozy or nice atmosphere, but also belonging and general togetherness," gezellig invites guests to experience an elegant menu of local, seasonal cuisine using french techniques in a casual and welcoming environment. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, gezellig prepares each menu item using high-quality ingredients purchased locally. On the menu are items such as seared scallops, braised beef shortibs, potato gnocchi, beef tartare, duck breast, and wild-caught lingcod. Our classic butterfinger for dessert is a staple that has been on our menu since opening in 2012

Brunch menu is interesting and the food is good, items are not made equal and some are decidedly underwhelming for the price. The French toast is pretty disappointing.

Always amazing! We go here all the time for special occasions, and just date nights. We’ve never had a bad meal or bad glass of wine, and the service is always perfect.

Great restaurant. Cosy. Excellent service and very good food. One of our favourite places in Ottawa. Like most places it is getting a bit pricey.

We had a wonderful experience at Gezellig. The service from the time we arrived to the time we left was attentive, informative, flexible….impeccable. We had a cozy booth where we enjoyed watching the activity of the street passersby. Our server was Lovely and helped us make our wine and food choices. The food was ample and delicious. We will definitely be back.
