This welcoming neighbourhood spot has earned a loyal following for its comforting, homemade dishes and friendly service. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with staff who make you feel right at home. Standout dishes include the crispy fish and chips, rich duck confit, and the unexpectedly popular Bill's Burger—impressive for a seafood-focused bistro. The seafood chowder and lobster dishes are particular crowd-pleasers, while the homemade desserts, especially the carrot cake, are a must-try. The cocktail menu is well-crafted, and the whisky selection is one of the best in Ottawa. While the space can be lively during special events, its cozy setting makes it a great choice for both casual meals and celebrations. The owner’s personal touch—chatting with guests and sharing the restaurant’s family history—adds to the charm that keeps diners coming back.
