I’ve been to Biera many times over the years… for special occasions, date nights, and for simply some great eats! I have never been disappointed by the caliber of service or food. They will be dearly missed when they close and hoping something equally wonderful takes over the space.

Joe Bird is a place of worship to all things chicken, authentic flavors and beer (because who doesn’t like beer?). Scoot on down to the lake and join us for a trip to flavor town with a view. We’re serving up our chicken seven days a week, with a soul healing hangover-curing brunch on weekends.

Moxie's was a good experience for lunch. The service was a little slow, but the food and ambiance were great.

Social - Ottawa

CAN$51 and over

Bistro

ByWard Market

About the restaurant

Opened in the summer of 1999, SOCIAL was received as the perfect blend of restaurant and bar. It was envisioned as a place where guests could enjoy an evening drink without feeling obligated to order dinner too, but where a sizzling menu meant that food was always an excellent option.

20 years later, SOCIAL continues to deliver. Known in the capital city for its ambiant and modern vibe, fifteen-foot ceilings, its secluded and beautiful courtyard patio, and gorgeous stone walls inside + out-- SOCIAL offers an unparalleled atmosphere for a sit-down dinner or some after-work cocktails. Guests can expect high-quality professional service and a menu to match, proving that SOCIAL is truly a downtown destination that has it all.

Come enjoy the culinary experience given by our Head Chef Peter Schulz and his team. Find us on Wednesdays 6 to 9 for Live Music, and Sundays 5-8!

It was very nice! The quantity of the food even made me upset…cause it wasn’t usual to get that much food for that price in Ottawa. The service was really good and sensitive to us🥰.
