When I want to eat a sexy burger, I go to OCCO. Hands down the best burger in town. I've tried their poutine too and it's pretty good. I tried their tacos once and they were ok, nothing special. But if you want a solid burger, then don't bother going anywhere else. read more

OCCO Kitchen Innes - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Five of us tried this place for the first time. We all had burgers except for one who had the vegetable and cheese linguini. Unfortunately none of us burger folk liked that the patties were quite charred (see picture). We all thought the burgers were nothing special. Also, note that the ravioli in the linguini was a bit spicy and the menu said nothing about spices. All in all, we heard good things about this place but we were disappointed. If I get a chance I'd like to try the tacos, but I won't have a burger again. My favourite places for burgers are still Local at Lansdowne and the Chelsea pub in Chelsea. read more

OCCO Kitchen Innes - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

We are so glad that we chose Occo Kitchen for a gals supper night out! Great food and even better service. My sliders (one beef & one chicken) were delicious....possibly the best beef burger I've ever had (and I'm a foodie)! Others in our group had cod fish & it was also a hit...flaky, tasty & not overdone. But what also made our evening special was our waiter Sean G. He has to be one of the best servers I've experienced..over the top accommodating! Thanks Sean... We will be back. read more

Would you like an over priced, over cooked burger in a teppanyaki restaurant? Here's your restaurant! The music is way too loud and its such an open room you feel as though you're eating in a cafeteria. They left out the teppanyaki tables from the previous restaurant, clearly rushed to open and didn't take the time to create a nice atmosphere. Service is terrible. No server seems to be assigned to your table. The fries are creative. read more

Great place to go if you feel like emptying your bank account for the smallest portion sizes imaginable. It just got charged 19.10 for 2 tiny tacos and a small fry with a teaspoon of their boring ketchup. Apparently they just raised their prices 2 days ago. I already found them quite pricey to begin with but now I definitely won't be going back. read more

Very nice spot. (Orleans). A bit loud as there are high ceilings. Staff very pleasant and fast. I salut them as they opened a patio in the parking lot and had to dodge cars to bring you the food. Excellent martinis! Wish they would bring their salmon pops, grandkids love those. read more

Came to this place with a friend and was surprised by the lack of options for me. I'm a vegetarian and the only option I had was a tiny plate of stir fried bell peppers and onions that had no flavour and were wayyyy too greasy. Not to mention the wait staff was not helpful and instead were judging my meal choice with a condescending tone. Didn't know being a vegetarian was so odd. Not the best first impression. read more

We went for brunch on Sunday only to discover they do not have a breakfast menu anymore! Such a disappointment. Some customers left when the couldn't order breakfast. We decided to stay. I had the fish tacos, which were delicious. They are $6.95 each and our server recommended that most people order two, with a small serving of fries ($4.95). The service was pretty good considering there was only one server for a while. read more

Decided to venture out to Orleans last night to grab some food with some friends before heading to the driving range and OCCO Kitchen was suggested. We were promptly greeted and seated pretty quickly. I ordered the poutine and boy oh boy was it delicious the gravy was amazing and the curds were melted. Yes, this might be a disgrace to some but I like eating my poutine with some ketchup. I was expecting them to come back and give me a bottle of ketchup but lo and behold! they came back with home made ketchup. MMMM was it ever tasty. Other plates that were ordered were Salmon with a side of mashed sweet potato (described by my friend as smooth, light, and tasty) , burger with candied bacon, and fish and chips. Overall the food tasted amazing and will need to come back to try their tacos and their corn on the cob. When I peeked at my neighbors the dishes looked amazing! If your in the area and looking for some good quality food you should definetly check it out. They have a variety of plates from burgers, tacos, salad, soup and pasta. read more

Every time we visit we are never disappointed. Delicious burgers, tacos, fries, fish, appetizers etc. We've had it all and we are always happy with the food! Atmosphere is great and servers are fantastic every time. Would be nice if they had a patio but otherwise I can't complain. Love it here! read more

The food is delectable. Great service! I love the menu options as well. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

OCCO has T H E B E S T T A C O S in Ottawa! I had the prom belly and the crispy fish tacos and I was full! Great taste, great serving, great staff. read more

We LOVE this little hidden gem ! We discovered this place about 2 mo this ago and have eaten here once a week of not more since! I have always driven by and thought this restaurant was a kitchen supply store lol We usually order the tacos, particularly the black bean oat for me and the chicken for my husband. The service is always really great, there was only one night when they were pretty busy that we didn't receive top notch service. You will want to experience this place for sure it would want some good food. read more

We have been told many times that OCCO Kitchen sells amazing food... We went Thursday night after 8 . We decided to try the clam chowder, calamari and fish and chips. We worried they might be out of clam chowder because most restaurants are out of soup late at night but no ...and it was amazing!!! The calamari was excellent!!! The fish and chip with two large pieces of fish was great!! No regrets I should of tried this restaurant sooner. It was clean and the atmosphere was great!! Sean was the waiter and we got amazing service!! Thank you again OCCO Kitchen on innes we will be back again.. I also want to try your breakfast. Just to add I worked in a restaurant many years and I am so fussy for eating out. I looked at everything and this restaurant is on top of my list read more

I really wanted to love this place as the location on st. Joseph is famous, however we went with another couple a few weeks after it opened. Maybe it was an off night but first we were seated in a booth blinded by sun as there were no shades we moved ourselves and our waiter was polite. Beer was cold and that was a plus but the food was nothing special. Steak was overdone, fries were cold and limp and the cod was more batter than fish. Can't say we will rush back anytime soon. Maybe will try after they have been around awhile longer..... read more

Pros: Uniquely crafted menu, fish and chips was de-lish. Cons: $16 for an overcooked burger and fries - no excuse. Poor customer service. Came in hungry at 11:30am after fasting for a blood test. The resturant wasn't busy at that time and was modestly busy for a Tuesday at noon. I asked if I could get my hamburger medium rare which I was told that I could. Twenty min later our food was served and after 3-4 bites, I notice that it wasn't just well done on the edges, but overcooked. While waiting to flag our server , I kept eating out of hunger, but I save a half of it to show my disappointment. She had nothing to say other than an offer to replace my fries. I reluctantly said yeah... The manager never acknowledged our departure. Left a 10% tip since the rest of the service was adequate. Honestly, I can get a hamburger fries and soda at wendy's, not pay a tip and pay half the price they were asking and not have to chew as much. Disappointed. read more

Wine selection is pitiful and the food wasn't much better. This was my 2nd and likely last visit. The best part was the french fries in my kid's plate (lucky for me my 6 year old was in a sharing mood). One positive this place has going for it is that it is not one of the cookie cutter chain restaurant-which Orleans has too many of as it stands. read more

The food was good, but the portions are very very small and pricey. The services was good and friendly, but I'm overly disappointed how hungry I was when I left the restaurant. I ate the vegetarian dish, it just had very little on it. They should definitely just add more. read more

I had a burger and fries here. It was pretty good. It came with a spoonful of coleslaw and some ketchup that the waitress said they made in the restaurant. The ketchup was lumpy, but tasted ok. I thought the price was a bit expensive, but I guess you pay for the fact that they make everything from scratch. read more

I have been here twice. The first time I went was with hubby and daughter (2 years old) within the first week of opening. As could be expected, the place was packed (at 5:30pm!) and the place was still ironing out some kinks. We patiently waited for about 15 minutes for a table, and decided to order the second we sat down to get our order in ahead of the hoards of others who were there. Much to our surprise, our food was on the table within about 8 minutes. I had the candied bacon cheese burger with a caesar salad on the side. I had to try their made-in-house candied bacon I had heard so much about! Hubby got the same, and we ordered a side of fries as well. The food was truly delicious and hit the spot. Prices were very reasonable. The restaurant is not very kid friendly though -- not much food on the menu for a young child (luckily we brought our own food for her, suspecting this would be the case), and when we got her a water we were given a small glass cup like e were drinking from. No colouring equipment or plastic kid cups. I went back a second time with a group of ladies. We had made a reservation, which was 'lost', so had to wait for a table. I ended up ordering exactly the same thing I'd gotten the first time because it was so delicious, and the food did not disappoint. I did get to see lots of other menu items my friends hd ordered, like the fish and pork tacos (both much bigger than i was expecting), and the small cobb salad which looked amazing. I am anxious to go back and try some of their other items, though it will be hard to stay away from the items I've come to know and love! We also shared their doughnut dessert which comes with the best espresso gelato I've had. The food is casual but very very tasty. If the service could improve a touch, I'd be a very happy customer! read more

Hands down the best burger I've had in Ottawa. Decent selection of local craft beer, attentive service, and a comfortable space. I will be back to try more of the menu next time I'm in the area. Assuming I can get a table - when I left it was already packed. read more

The food here is very good and innovative. The ambience is a bit too pub-casual for the pricing and the tables are awkwardly wide. I wouldn't hesitate to go back but would avoid busy times. read more

I must try, everything is made in house and yummy. The first time I ever went there I drove across the city just to go. Everytime I am in the area I stop in for a meal. Staff is great as well. read more

Food is overpriced for what it is... "artisanal" apparently means mediocre food at expensive prices

Fries were soggy and cold. Some of the original, creative and dishes from Occo past have long gone and now the menu is pretty much all burgers and tacos. Disappointing. read more

Quick lunch - root veg cream soup, half Cobb salad. Both were delicious! Cobb salad had warm moist chicken, spiced mashed avocado, Boursin cheese, and much more. Good service. Highly recommended. read more

I used to love this place until today, and i unfortunately don't think I will be returning. My favourite lunchtime snack was a half Cobb salad and a taco and I find out today they changed the salad completely meanwhile upping the prices on everything! $17 for a half Cobb salad with dry chicken, no egg and one taco? No thanks. Your running your business in a whole guys get back to the basics and become good again or your going to loose all your business. read more

We were seated very close to the door and it was unfortunately a very cold day so whenever someone walked in our table was exposed to an uncomfortable breeze. So, lesson learned, request somewhere away from the door during winter. We ordered 5 meals and when they came they had forgotten the fifth and had to scurry back to the kitchen to make it. I got the fish taco and the toppings did not look fresh and the fish was over cooked in the fryer. Not such a big deal, it happens. My least favourite part were the fries that cost almost $5 for something about the size of a medium fry from McDonald's and were completely stale and simply tasted like they had been sitting in a bin far too long. Overall I don't recommend this place. I have been to their smaller shack location and much prefer it. If you are considering occo that is where you should go IMO read more

The food here is generally pretty good. The tacos and burgers were tasty and the portion sizes were generous. The prices were average -- not too expensive and not cheap. I was a bit disappointed with the service. Our waiter was nice but obviously overworked. He wasn't attentive, leaving us without water for most of the meal. I would consider another visit, but I'd probably visit the takeout location instead. read more

This place has a great atmosphere but I could imagine it is pretty noisy when it's full. The tables are fairly close to each other, but we were fine as we went just after 5 and there weren't many people there. This is our third attempt to eat here! The first the restaurant was closed because of lack of supplies, the second it was just too busy! Anyway, their menu is small and same with their drink menu. The waitress didn't seem to know what they were out of and we picked two of the 5 white wines that they were out of...The food was worth the wait! My fiancée had the bacon cheese burger and I had two different tacos (Braised beef and chicken) along with fries. I highly recommend the cheese burger, braised beef tacos and the fries! I am already craving for it again and its only been a few days!!!!! read more

Just ok. Could be much better providing the service improved. Our server greeted us with "uh yah so I'll be back once I take my other tables order and punch it in k". When he finally came back there was no warm welcome feeling at all. We ordered our appetizer and our mains all at once. Cod cakes were fantastic. While we were eating our app, the server came back to tell us they were out of black bean patties so we ordered the fish burger. We then finished our app, waited 15 minutes only for the server to come back and tell us he finally got around to punching in our order and they were out of fish burgers. Common, it's a Friday at 7pm and you're already out of 2 mains? The service was very poor and we likely not return as our first visit was not good at all. Shame because the food we did eat was good. read more

They charged me for three drinks when I ordered one. My significant other ordered a soft drink and I had water. Throughout the night I was taking sips from his drink, as we usually do at other restaurants. We ended up getting four drinks. The server informed us that we are being charged for two soft drinks because she saw us sharing the drinks and we had ordered far too many. We were trying to explain to her that if she saw us and gave us a heads up that we would be charged extra I would have happily stopped sipping from his drink. She handled the situation in an unprofessional manner by insisting that of it were her should would not have assumed what we had assumed. She also cut me off a lot. In the end she only charged us for one soft drink but this was after almost thirty minutes and by then the evening had been ruined. Needless to say the food is not good enough for me to go back with that kind of service. read more
