Buvette Daphnée has quickly made a name for itself in Ottawa’s Byward Market, bringing a touch of Montreal charm to the local wine scene. The standout here is the expertly curated wine selection, with sommelier Nicholas earning praise for his approachable expertise and talent for introducing guests to incredible Canadian natural wines. The food is just as impressive, with creative, flavor-packed dishes like maitake mushrooms, duck confit, whole sea bass with crispy skin, and a grilled celeriac salad that even wins over meat lovers. The warm, lively atmosphere adds to the experience, though some find the music a bit loud at times. While portions can lean small for the price, most agree that Buvette Daphnée offers a memorable dining experience that’s quickly become a favorite for both locals and visitors.
