We visited while the tulip festival was going on. There was food, art and lots of jewelry vendors, It was bustling. So many people and so much food. From Indian to a store all about cheeses from around the world. Being from Florida it's nice to find places like this that are very different and unique. The best part about this market was finding a classic poutine spot. The menu was very diverse, but we wanted something completely classic. The flavor of the gravy was delicious and the french fries were fried perfectly. The cheese is very different too. It can be very spongy, but it goes well with the whole combination. We definitely would return back to Bytown Joe's to try their unique flavors of poutine!

We went here when G Burger was new. I gave them a fairly good review, as, overall, the burgers were…read moregood and they had just opened - but I do remember feeling like they were overpriced. I've not returned until now. Went there last night with a group of 6 adults, specifically because they have Gluten Free options. While service was great and the food was overall find for the price, I'm struggling. My salad was mediocre - nothing special or exciting about it. My chicken burger was good, but - again - nothing special. I don't think anyone walked away with a 'that was the best burger ever' kind of feel. One person really liked their poutine while another person found their poutine had stale fries. A burger eater also noted stale fries. I want to be clear - a 3 star in Yelp is 'A-OK' and that's what this is. It's not special in my mind. It is a good location to eat with friends and have a drink. Decor is pleasant a bit more unified than when they first opened, with better use of space. We loved our waitress.

I love McDonald's nuggets, I mean who doesn't? I also understand that they're not good for you. Have you also realized that the quality has been in decline for some years now? G Burgers nuggets are what chicken nuggets should be, their nuggets are crispy, fresh, and yes, it's definitely 100% chicken breast, you can tell. I was only in Ottawa for the weekend, but I got nuggets from G Burger not once, but TWICE. They're good, trust me.

He asked if we wanted the bill after giving the kids ice cream and then came back with the payment machine-- handed it to me and stood beside all of us while I settled the bill and he didn't make eye contact or say a single word to us. It made us feel unfomfortable and like we had done something wrong Other cons: we overheard a customer complain to another employee that the soap in the women's washroom was empty. My daughter and I made a trip to the restroom over 20 minutes later and the soap was still empty. Not to mention the washroom stalls were completely dirty. Also forgot my coleslaw and pickle with my main and had to mention it to them, however the food runner quickly came back with the missing items.

I enjoyed the combo of sweet and savory (especially for meat dishes) though I wish they could spice up the tajines was more. For a cuisine that's known for bold flavors there are hints of flavor here and there. There is a lot food here for what one pays and dessert is almost all you can enjoy. The tea was good as well. 3.5 stars.

Some of the best hummus I've ever had and a whole different point of reference than the grocery store variety. Fatima herself was tending to guests and she sets a warm tone. We plan to return to the area and will definitely return to this spot when we do.

My wife said that they must be going trying to be close to the life size beaver tail. We had to try the Classic of course and also ordered a Hazel Amour. Both were delicious. The classic cinnamon sugar was really good and a bit messier than I expected since the cinnamon sugar dust flaked off often. The Hazel Amour was really nice, rich, and filling. It was the first time my daughter had tried a nutella type spread, so naturally she was pretty excited. Definitely a must try. Next time I know to either get minis or just one to share.

On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn't feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days. To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice. I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot. However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn't finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn't like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn't like the spongy texture either. The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.

Soft sweet interior of zucchini was good and outside was light crispy with some nice flavour from seasoning. Ranch on the side to add some fat. Nice to try, but would not get again. Calamari - Lightly breaded squid and lightly seasoned. Definitely needed the cocktail sauce, or ranch from zucchini fries to add flavour. Good amount of squid for the price. Nice to try. Chicken Parm Sandwich - Nice sandwich, large flat piece of chicken with a good amount of cheese and tomato sauce. Bread was decently fresh as well. Fries were undercooked... Would recommend, ask for extra crispy fries to ensure they cooked through. Unlikely to come again as so many other things to try in the area.

The pizza is very good and if you like a gourmet pizza this is the place to go. The seafood pasta is also a good choice. I'm giving it three 3 stars due to the service we received this evening. The server did not ask how our dinner was and in the past the waitress would always ask. We had to ask another waitress for salt and spicy oil for our pizza crust, as the waitress serving our table was no where in site. The pizza was dry and the sea food pasta was al dante, when we mentioned this to our waitress she said that she'd mentioned it to the kitchen. The service was a disappointment to say the least. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant 3-stars is because we've received 5-star food and service pre-COVID.
