Reviews for Canal Ritz in Ottawa, ON
An unfortunate dining experience. Just as bad in 2022 as it has always been. 3 stars come solely from the location. Drinks... are OK, but do not order food. Read more
Ate on the patio. It was very busy but service was quick, and staff came by regularly to refill water and drinks. Very relaxed... place to hang out on the water. Charcuterie board, pasta and handhelds for lunch. All meals were enjoyed. Read more
The only reason this gets 2 stars and not one is because they have a nice functional water fountain with cold water in front of... the restaurant that I use on my running route! I don?t have any photos of the restaurant because 2 two meals I had there overthe last 20 years were monumentally dreadful and the only other redeeming quality of the place is its proximity to the FloraFootbridge that makes for great photos!

This restaurant was really busy and not as tasty as u would think for the outrageous prices. Came in as a group of 13 and my... husband had made surprise bday reservations. We were put in centre of traffic inside and put three tables together blocking thewalkway and being intruded on constantly . Was not that great tbh. Especially as they were not prepared and didn?t properly hostour group! The view I must say is beautiful thou during the night and day! Read more
Absolutely fabulous outside views with a great outdoor seating. The problem is that the food tastes cheap. Luckily the portion... sizes are very small so that you do not have to eat a lot of the mediocre food. This place had it all 20 years ago. Now theyonly have a stunning view. Read more
Such a lovely spot, great for drinks and dessert while biking the canal. We ordered key lime pie, a pina colada, and a... strawberry daiquiri. Everything was delicious and refreshing, and now we definitely want to go back for a meal next time! Staffwere friendly and the patio space on the water was just gorgeous! Read more
We just held an afternoon baby shower for about 40 people in the beautiful glassed-in dining area of the Canal Ritz. At 9am when... we showed up for decorating the room, all the tables were perfectly set and the owner was on site. During the party, service wasimpeccable and the food (including the pizzas) was delicious and beautifully presented. This venue with a great view is the bestfor lunch, dinner and parties! Read more
The Canal Ritz is a fun place to spend some time and have a coffee or a snack while enjoying the location. As far as I know this... is the only restaurant in Ottawa where you can sit outside and eat on a patio over the water. Very scenic but I wouldn't havehigh expectations about the food, and also I find it is quite pricey. This place gets incredibly busy on weekends or holidays.One nice bonus is that the Canal Ritz offers parking across the street. Read more
