With a name that means "cozy or nice atmosphere, but also belonging and general togetherness," gezellig invites guests to experience an elegant menu of local, seasonal cuisine using french techniques in a casual and welcoming environment. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, gezellig prepares each menu item using high-quality ingredients purchased locally. On the menu are items such as seared scallops, braised beef shortibs, potato gnocchi, beef tartare, duck breast, and wild-caught lingcod. Our classic butterfinger for dessert is a staple that has been on our menu since opening in 2012

    Dinner for four with the group having grilled octopus, greens and soup for starter and then braised ribs, salmon and scallops for main. Food and beverages were very nice, the service was professional and attentive as needed. Overall a very nice evening.

    Jim and I went for my Birthday. It was our first time dining there. We will definitely go again. The service and ambience were outstanding. We shared the mussels which were delicious. We had the duck confit and the scallops as mains. Truly both delicious and presentation was beautiful. Bravo Gezellig!

    Enjoyed the lunch option of picking two items from the menu for a set price. Our server was outstanding: friendly and efficient and handled a food allergy so carefully and knowledgeably. The food was delicious and different than you might find elsewhere.
