I wish I was here for a few more days to explore the rest of the menu (flaming halloumi drizzled in honey!). For today I had the bruschetta flatbread (cherry tomatoes, Parmesian, balsamic reduction) - delicious. The flatbread was outstanding. Followed by seafood paella, also delicious. All paired with their house Italian red, a slightly bold but classically dry Italian wine. It all fit perfectly. Only regret is... no room for dessert. The flatbread is definitely fit for two... I'm looking forward to coming back. It'll be a while, probably won't be in Kanata for at least a few months, but Via Marzo is top of my list when I'm back. And next time... dessert! (Maybe the lemon cake... or chocolate torte... or baklava... hrmmmm).

We love to eat and the portion of my duck was only 2 little pieces. Soup was a bit salty and salad is super small portion. I would have to order 2 main course for myself to be satisfied. Overall if I was paying over $200 for a meal, I should feel like it filled my tummy

We found this place while wandering the area in Ottawa, and had a great dinner! I had the…read morecombination dinner which included stuffed grape leaves, kibbeh, spinach pies, hummus and salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The kibbeh was seasoned beautifully as were the spinach pies. Even the salad was really good. The pita was fresh and perfect as well. I had the rose water iced tea to drink which was quite good and the rose water was not overpowering. One person was serving and cooking. I am assuming this was Omar the owner. I have no idea how he was managing all of that! He also did the art around the restaurant which was beautiful. Definitely a great option in this part of Ottawa!

We had originally tried The Olive Branch in Manotick during the first week it was open and they…read morewere good, but we didn't feel the need to come back. After hearing some recent reviews on a Manotick Facebook group, we decided to give them another shot almost a year later. We used the online ordering system and our order was ready on time for pick up. I ordered the Lamb Souvlaki Platter ($26.95) and added in the comment section that I wanted the meat to be done medium-rare. It came with two skewers. My wife ordered the Keftedes Platter ($22.95), which she heard from others was really good. Each platter came with Greek rice, medallion potatoes, Greek salad and tzatziki sauce. The rice was a little more plain than we would have hoped, but it improved once we squeezed the provided lemon over top of it ourselves. The medallion potatoes had yummy dry seasoning sprinkled on top. Next time we will ask for more of that dry seasoning in the comments in the online ordering system because it was delicious, but not spread very evenly. The Greek salad was fresh and tasty with a good amount of feta and the dressing was packed on the side. The tzatziki sauce was thick and creamy. We also ordered a Pita Bread ($2) to go with everything. Now let's talk about the meat! Wow! We were impressed with both the Lamb Souvlaki and the Keftedes (4 mini meat patties). All the flavours and spices used were perfect, plus the cook on the meat was very memorable. We kept raving about the meat throughout the meal, savouring every bite. We would easily go back again just for how good the meat was! We're also curious now about how they would handle seafood like their Calamari Platter. The food is slightly more expensive than Cozmo's on Greenbank, but the quantity is fair and the quality is excellent for the meat.

Decided to come enjoy their weekend brunch which is fairly a new addition to their menu. Firstly,…read morethe ambiance early morning was very calming. Though located in byward market, this restaurant is a steps away from the busy parts. The restaurant itself has an outdoor patio & 2 different dinning areas. One seems to be more vibrant in colour the other room is dark interior with mood lighting. The brunch menu was a fusion of Turkish and parts of Middle East. Here is what enjoyed: Muhamara was our favourite, the perfect blend of cashew and red peppers. Stuffed Grape leaves were alright. Lubneh with Dukkah beats was tasty. The beets added a rich flavour to the yogurt dish. Beef lahmoujoun, the mint/dill sauce it was paired with was absolutely delicious. Turkish Egg, poached eggs with labneh. It was good but eventually the flavour of yogurt was too empowering & it needed a something to balance. I ended up mixing muhamara with it. Shakshuka, this was alright. Black seed pancakes, this was a savoury item served with tabouli. This was probably the least favourite on the table. The flavour was bland. Overall, the experience was good. The service was great! Our food arrived in a timely manner. The server did a great job at examining the menu.

Low prices, good service and great food. Can't recommend enough to anyone in the area.read more

The Short Version: Casual Moroccan restaurant in the Byward…read moreMarket Square building. Food is pre-made and on warming trays so service is quite quick. The Long Version: I believe I have eaten at La Casablanca before but it was many years ago before I was on Yelp. Most recently I got food from here through the Too Good to Go app. (It's an app to reduce food wastage. Restaurants sell leftover/day-old food at a discounted price on the app. The catch is it's a surprise bag so you don't know what you're going to get.) I was on my way home and was walking by the restaurant and noticed they had a surprise bag for sale on the Too Good to Go app for $9.99 and I decided to buy it. The man prepared my meal by scooping various items in the warming trays into a takeout box. I got some chicken skewers, rice, roasted potatoes, cabbage, and a vegetable stew (which consisted of carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, and broccoli). I seemed to get a few rogue chickpeas too, lol. The food was flavorful and I liked the seasonings on it. I also liked the variety and that I got to try a little bit of different items. I felt it was a satisfactory deal for $9.99. However on the app it did list that the value of the surprise bag was $29.99, which I don't feel is true, lol. For the $10 I paid, I'll rate it as 4 stars. I'd give it half that rating though had I paid $30 for a takeout box of food (mostly vegetables and rice) from warming trays, lol. The restaurant is inside the Byward Market Square building so it's kind of food court-like but each restaurant has its own seating. The vibe is very casual. The man serving me was courteous. A good place for quick casual Moroccan food. Review #233 (2025)
