LOCAL Public Eatery Lansdowne - (Near Ottawa, ON)

Kourosh Lalavi One of the best vegetarian buffets, with great variety of food and amazing desserts. The food is greatly priced but the dessert can get expensive if you got a sweet tooth! Also available for takeout and on delivery apps!

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.

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!

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

May Inthason Visited the city for a work trip and was suggested by a friend of mine to come here for dinner and was not disappointed at all. The ambience here is very moody. Can be a bit loud but overall did not bother me, it is a nice intimate space. Shameen was serving me at the bar and I asked for her recommendations as everything looked good. The crudo was light and refreshing with a bit of crunch that complimented it very well. The pasta Shameen recommended was amazing. One of the best pastas I’ve had in a long while. It was the Creste Rigate & Sausage. I will be dreaming of not only that pasta dish but the Tiramisu as well. It was nice and rich and the best way to end the meal. The wine selection and cocktails were also great. Whenever I get the chance to come back to the city, I will be back here for sure.

Allan Fabrykant I would give them 10 stars if I could. I don’t even know where to begin, food was delicious, staff was extremely accommodating (even more than they should’ve been given the short notice). Everything came out at a reasonable time, and we felt very taken care of. I would recommend the Gnocchi de la Casa Looking forward to going back for the next special occasion!
