Cantina Gia - (Near Ottawa, ON)

Viviana Castillo I’ve been to Torta Boyz a couple of times and it’s definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. The food is always delicious and the service is consistently great. I love both their drinks and their food, but my favorite has to be the Asada fries with barbacoa de res. Every visit has been a great experience, and I highly recommend checking them out!

Nourhan Elsayed First time at Mati tonight, and from the very first bite we already knew this was a place we’d be coming back to, and probably becoming regulars. We ordered the seafood tower, which gives you the best of both worlds: hot and cold. Lobster, calamari, fresh tuna, oysters, fish tacos, so much variety, and everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Honestly, every bite felt like a new experience, and it was 100% worth the price. And the service? Absolutely phenomenal. The vibes were on point, the staff genuinely looked like they were enjoying themselves, and that energy really carried through the whole night. The attention to detail was exceptional. Overall, we loved everything and would definitely recommend this place. Total win.

Shawn Todd It’s always fun to try a new restaurant in Ottawa. I was fortunate to have made a reservation last evening at Ayla Social Kitchen on Preston. The reviews I read before booking were all positive and I was heading here really intending on getting the lamb shank as it looked out of this world. Arrived and met the owner - Amir who was working. You know it’s always going to be a treat & a great experience when it’s an owner / operator type experience. Amir put together a beautiful recommendation for us paired with a nice Moroccan wine (neither of us had ever tried Moroccan wine before and it was excellent). The meal was fabulous, great service and presentation. It’s a smaller restaurant and just the right vibe and feeling for a great night out with a friend. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience. Will be back and would recommend trying this great restaurant if exploring options in Ottawa

Debra L Wiedemann Being our first time here, we asked our waitress, Hannah, for the favorites. The items she suggested were fantastic. LOCAL burger, shrimp dumplings, fish tacos and tuna poke (which we did not choose). We did go back after the Sarah Millican show to have dessert (it was my birthday) and I asked Bella for the best, and she delivered...apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! The next time we are in Ottawa, we will be back!

Red Stiletto I love the vibe here. The food is always decadent. I had the spicy crab dip to start and the truffle udon carbonara for my main. I highly recommend the udon! Underground parking is easy, just follow the signs to know what section to park in. If you have extra time, you should check out the farmers market at Lansdowne. So quaint.

Chris Coveny Amazing patio, food and service. Our server Lily recommended some creative house cocktails for our group and we really enjoyed them. Seamless experience and we will be back for sure. Lots of street parking nearby green patio and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the Joe Carter pinsa and meatballs. Lavanda spritz was refreshing and perfect for summer sipping.
