Best Contemporary Canadian Restaurants in Carp

It was lovely with live jazz and great lighting. Easy to have a good conversation.

Creative dishes bursting with flavour. We especially loved the beef short ribs - generous portion of very tender beef served a wide variety of accompaniments. We were fortunate that Chef Blackie was our server and he provided explanations of the dishes and ingredients.

We had dinner for six and couldn’t have had a better time, better service or better meal(s). Bekta and his teams seem to have achieved mastery here - there were so many team members serving the guests that it seemed there was always someone nearby to make eye contact and come over to help us. The food was prepared so well that we were able to relax about judging if we ordered the right meal - every meal seemed to set the standard for how it should be done. And the ambiance was perfect for a birthday celebration. I wish I could remember our server’s name - she knew the menu so very well and had a great sense of humor. Thank you!

Our first time experience at Play was delightful. Our server was very personable and knowledgeable. The upstair’s and downstair’s ambience was exceptional. We would definitely go back again.

We had an excellent evening at this restaurant. The layout, featuring smaller, more intimate rooms, greatly enhances noise management. The room we dined in accommodated 6-7 tables, providing a comfortable atmosphere where conversations could be held at a normal volume. It’s an ideal venue for those who prefer a quieter, less crowded setting. The service was outstanding. They were attentive without being intrusive. Every detail was handled proactively, ensuring we never had to ask for anything. We were scouting venues for a wedding dinner, and this establishment is currently our top choice, provided the guest list aligns with the room capacities available for private rental. We are eager to return and explore this option further.
