“ I had a fantastic experience watching the skaters glide along the Rideau Canal. While I’m not a skater myself, my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed covering about 6.5 km on the ice. I opted for a leisurely lunch with some wine, soaking in the beautiful canal views. My waitress, Yola, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick. I enjoyed a fresh salad with salmon, paired with a crisp Austrian white wine, followed by the indulgent Carrot Caramel and two rich espressos. A perfect way to take in the atmosphere without lacing up my skates! ”
Christian Jaehn-Kreibaum“ Nicely positioned by the Rideau Canal. Great stop during our canal skating. The view of the canal from the inside is amazing! The server was attentive and friendly. The food came very fast. The Ritz burger was good. The meat tasted fresh and homemade. The bread was a but stale. The pizza calabreza tasted like a home made pizza, very saucy and nice portions. Atmosphere is welcoming. ”
Al“ This establishment offers a delightful dining experience with professional staff, breathtaking views, and a charming ambiance. The cuisine is of exceptional quality and the atmosphere is particularly romantic after sunset. I highly recommend this venue for any occasion. ”
Joe Nemr“ Solid solid spot. Would go back anytime. And it was a decent to price for food. They had great options and very unique desserts which is always nice to try. And the scenery is beautiful!!! Right by the Rideau canal and what a stunning view ( there are firefly’s in the area which make it even more stunning). I suspect it’s busy during peak season so may be worth checking to see if you need a reservation but they accommodate walk-ins Definitely a spot that tries to accommodate dietary and special needs. ”
