Stella Luna Gelato Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 If you're an ice cream or gelato lover, you have to try this cafe when you pass by. It's hard to see how much more you can improve on the flavours and quality of the gelato, though I'll admit the prices of around $7 are at the absolute limit of being reasonable. Regardless, visit this when you need...

Les Moulins La Fayette

Bakery

👍👍 Whenever I'm in Hintonburg I like to drop by this cafe to chill and relax. The place is very open and welcoming. And I particularly enjoy the sitting out on the patio. Now with the COVID, I can enjoy their simple croissants in my own home. They also have great breads and soups to choose from. And...

Ottawa Bike Cafe

👍👍 Lovely selection of drinks - both alcoholic and alcohol-free. Some snacks and treats available too. The little seating area is by the window and so it makes for good people watching.

Oat Couture Oatmeal Cafe (Bank)

Cafe

👍 One of the best interior decor cafe in Ottawa placed in a nice location with good food and service. 4 ⭐️‘s only because of the price of items here. I had a mocha and Savannah oat meal here and it costed me around 16 bucks (tips excluded). The mocha was great. The oatmeal bowls was delicious. The p...

RAW Materials Health

Juice shop

😠 Same $11 bowls, new, much smaller size. These were a luxury item before, now just not worth it. ***In response to owners comments*** I get it, get you $ while you can, no judgment here, honestly...I notice the owner arrives in a brand new Maserati, car the price of some Canadian's houses, good for...

Oat Couture Oatmeal Cafe (Gladstone)

Cafe

👍👍 First things first, there is not a restaurant with a better name in the city than Oat Couture. I had never heard of an oatmeal bar before, but as an oatmeal connoisseur, I was intrigued. What I discovered inside did not disappoint. I was exhilarated from the moment I walked in, by the trendy decor a...

Cooper's

Restaurant

👍 Friendly service, good food, nice location. Prices are decent, and there is a patio as well. The only gripe was that they did not serve our table all at the same time, as normally expected at any restaurant. Your table orders, you bring out the food together. We had half our tables breakfast food f...

Marzitelli

Italian restaurant

😠 I have no idea how this restaurant has 4.5/5 review. My food was absolutely terrible. I assumed this place was a higher end Italian restaurant, I therefore expected Neapolitan style pizzas. Instead what I got was Canadian style pizza. Ok not a huge deal….. but the pizza was just terrible, the pizza...

Zak's Diner Elgin St

Diner

👍 Great diner atmosphere. A little slow for service - wasn't very full so I was surprised. But it was still reasonable. It's not speedy like some breakfast places. Food was good but not outstanding. Eggs Benedict were very good though. Vegan milkshake was very good! Kids menu has good variety.
