Review Insights

Metropolitan is a favourite for its excellent service, inviting atmosphere, and well-executed French brasserie classics. Whether you’re stopping by for casual drinks or a special night out, the seafood dishes—especially the oysters, lobster ravioli, and bouillabaisse—are consistent crowd-pleasers. The duck confit and steak sandwich also earn plenty of praise, while the cocktail and wine selections don’t disappoint. Though prices are on the higher side, most diners find the quality well worth it. The lively yet cozy vibe keeps people coming back, with the patio often called one of the best spots in the city for an afternoon drink. Attentive and knowledgeable staff add to the experience, making Metropolitan a standout in Ottawa’s dining scene.
