Reviews for Amuse Kitchen & Wine in Kanata, ON
What a gem! Great menu made decisions hard to make. The fig plate to start was lovely. The lamb followed and was brilliant. ... I forgot to take a picture of the generous crème brûlée which was lovely. The high quality made the price feel even morereasonable. Best resto in this area for sure. Read more
The food is very delicious here. We got the beef tataki, soft shell crab, duck tartare, shrimp and quail. The beef tataki and... quail were my favourites. Read more
The food was pretty good but for the price, I don't think I will go back. I do recommend that if you go, you order the beef... tataki as it is simply magical. I don't know what specific component of the dish I liked but the combination of ingredients justblew my mind. For $22, it really makes me sad that I love it so much. Because for 10 thin pinky sized beef, it wouldn't scratchthe surface of your hunger. The crab was done well. The coating was light and airy. The sauce creamy yet not heavy. It wasdelicious but it was a tough act to follow the beef tataki. The quail was cooked perfectly and overall had good flavours. Theravioli had this refreshing quality that made me want to eat 20 more. The shrimp pasta was essentially drenched in therestaurant's version of cocktail sauce. It was a skippable dish. The duck tartare was a flop for me. It packed a punch withthat mustard (the feeling up your nose when you eat wasabi). The ranking: beef tataki > crab > quail >> shrimp >>>>>>>>>> ducktartare.

My husband and I went here this past Saturday in celebration of our third wedding anniversary! This place went above and beyond... our expectations. Very small intimate setting, with delicious food, and we had the sweetest waitress. We loved every part of thedinner- if you like high-end, fine dining experiences with very flavourful food we definitely recommend visiting Amuse. Weordered: Small Charcuterie Board, Smoked Duck (amuse-bouche) *complimentary*, Softshell Crab, Duck Tartare, Quail, Lamb, and IceCream Sandwich Although we enjoyed all the dishes, our top favourites were the Quail and Lamb. They recommend 2 dishes perperson, and I would say we were very satisfied by the end of our meal. We shall definitely be back! Read more
Great little unassuming place in Kanata. Next to a gas station and car wash but don?t let that fool you. Food and service was... excellent!! The appetizer o the house was a cleaver little pocket of fried Brie and chilli jam in a wonton wrap. My favouritedish was the duck tartare hands down but everything was amazing. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The salmon carpacciowas the best refreshing ?salad? for spring/summer. You can tell the chef have really put a lot of thought and care into theflavourings of their dishes. It was a great treat for us. We always enjoy ordering many small dishes/tapas we can share so thishit the spot. Read more
Cozy little place, nicely decorated, the food was really really good! Presentation was superb. Service was good and the only... thing I would want to recommend is that the waitress not wear yoga pants and baggy top, mainly because this restaurant seemsbetter than that. Thank you. Read more
Phenomenal meal, start to finish. Gorgeous presentation, exceptional flavour and seasoning. This is an absolute gem in a Kanata... strip mall and everyone should go here. From creative and interesting charcuterie platters to perfectly diced tartare, thisrestaurant has mastered sophisticated small plates. Every dish is exceptional. I've been here a half dozen times and never had abad bite. Read more
Very friendly staff, waitress was bilingual. The food was good, but I couldn't help but to feel a bit underwhelmed for the... price. Also the menu was a bit confusing. It said "shared plates" but the waitress had to point out which ones were actuallymeant to be shared and which plates were more appropriate as a main. Read more
