    Wow, who would think there'd be such a stellar taco place located in the little city of Ottawa? My…read morefriends and I visited from Toronto and were a little put off by the prices of the tacos but we were recommended this spot by so many locals, so we had to try it out. It did not disappoint. I had the tuna tartare, crispy fish, and grilled chicken taco. Surprisingly, the tuna tartare (the most expensive one) was my least favourite; something about it tasted too earthy and I couldn't taste the tuna that much as the other flavours were overpowering. The crispy fish is a must-try, and the grilled chicken is a pleasant surprise - you don't expect it to blow you away, but somehow it does. I also had a bite of the steak taco which was delicious.

    Came here as a recommendation for dinner on my first trip to Ottawa. We overall liked the…read morerestaurant, staff was friendly & the food was good. On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn't feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days. To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice. I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot. However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn't finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn't like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn't like the spongy texture either. The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.

    Ratatouille Bistro was exactly what I needed on my February trip to Ottawa. I flew in on Family Day…read moreand everything was closed, so I ended up eating at Starbucks. The next morning I was craving real food and found Ratatouille Bistro online. It did not disappoint. I went back multiple times during my stay. The dishes were incredible. The Short Rib Hash Skillet was rich, flavorful, and comforting with the braised short rib, wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, smoked cheddar, sunny side eggs, and crispy smashed potatoes. The Beef Brisket and Caramelized Onion Benedict on their homemade herb scone was just as good. Both dishes were memorable. The walk through the ByWard Market and Lowertown area in the snow made it even better. It felt cozy and cinematic being bundled up and heading to a French fusion cafe. I loved this place.

    I'm very mixed on Ratatouille…read more The concept is that the chef traveled a lot and learned different cooking styles and blended them into a French fusion. The techniques are good. I just wish that he spent a little more time working in seasoning foods. None of our food was bad but none of it was standout great. I take that back; the ratatouille Wellington did actually taste good if you don't mind readiness in your ratatouille, which I guess I don't mind but don't prefer. Our server was very into food and did a great job describing the dishes. I was a little put off that he sort of sat/leaned his butt on the table next to us while he did so. It was almost too chilly in the restaurant but bearable. 3 stars: If someone else really wanted to go back, i guess I would, though reluctantly.

    A spectacular dining experience…read more The food at this location was very delicious and high quality. I loved their lasagna and how cheesy it was. I also did try out some of the tiramisu they had and I really loved the flavour and the taste of the tiramisu. I also loved the fact how they had a wide variety of different food and drink options you can choose from on the menu at this location. The service at this location was fabulous because the staff were very friendly and helpful towards us when we were being served. Our meal arrived in a timely fashion too, which made this dining experience lovely. The ambiance at this location was fabulous because it was very modern and clean inside the location and I really liked the overall visual appeal of the restaurant. The price of the food and beverages is reasonable considering the high quality treatment at this location. For the reasons I have stated in this review, I highly recommend and encourage you to visit this location because of the amazing food, spectacular service, and great ambiance.

    This place came highly recommended by a tour guide we met…read more Made a reservation on the half price bottle of wine day. Bonus. Had a beautiful bottle of Pinot Grigio. Started with the garlic flatbread. Lots of cheese, roasted garlic and arugula. I ordered the mushroom truffle pizza. Extremely disappointed. The taste of the truffle was so overpowered with the taste of the smoked Gouda. I ordered it for the truffle. Smoked cheese should not be on this pizza. A friend ordered chicken parm. She was very happy with it. And another friend ordered the linguine pescatore with the wine sauce. Lots of fresh seafood. She was very happy with it. We split the vegan gluten free chocolate cake. Was reminiscent of a hockey puck. Our waitress was awesome. Service was great.

    Johnny Farina Restaurant - Overcooked pasta, but sauce was pretty good. And there was a generous amount of shrimps.
