This is one of the best restaurants in the Glebe. Run by the owners of the excellent Fraser Cafe in New Edinburgh, The Rowan... offers a wonderful fine dining experience. I have been here a few times and have always had a great time. Indeed, during mylatest visit, the food was once again delicious and the service very good. Over the course of my meal, I split an appetizer,ordered the spaghetti with ricotta and chives, drank two beers, and had an affogato with Bailey's. When I added tax and 20% tipthe bill came to $84. While not cheap, the price was worth it given the high quality of the food and drinks. Definitely wouldcome back. Note: I have included a photo of the Duck Confit that my friend ordered. Read more

We loved the place. It has a nice cozy ambience and feel. Everyone with me agreed that their food tasted great. In their menu... they have an option for everyone, the food presentation was perfect and the music suits the type and identity of the place. Ourwaitress was friendly and attentive to details. Definitely The Rowan will be on our list of dining options in Ottawa. Read more

Fabulous food, great service, and a great location. The cod and tuna were prepared beautifully, and the halloumi and peaches... were a phenomenal starter. Read more

Decided to ac like a an adult with an aspiring interest in 'culture' so I skipped out on my usual haunt of pizza or bagels and... decided to grab a seat for one at The Rowan. Actually a nice place, nice staff - I think my 'trans'-ness attracted somekindness from a few staff and that was more than I deserved given my aversion towards sitting at the bar like some kind ofsociable 'normie'. Anyway, I was treated with decency, and the food arrived quickly. I scarfed down the seared tuna with allthe appetite of a ravenous shark; my use of cutlery a mere accommodation for the others around me. Never under-estimate ahungry trans woman who skipped breakfast and lunch only to happen upon your business by chance - she'll clean house if shedoesn't keep an eye on her savings ;) All in all, would recommend to any decent foodie. I might bring a bib next time...andthere will be a next time, muhahahhahahaha!!!! Read more

The Rowan absolutely delivers as always. A completely amazing dinner with my family. Service was on point. Food was top notch. I... got the Rainbow trout in broth with a bed of veggies. I?m gluten and dairy free and to have such a superior dish firing on allcylinders really wowed my taste buds. The Pavlova for dessert was delicious too. Been coming here for years and it neverdisappoints. Consistently exceeds my expectations every time I?m here. Read more

A wonderful restaurant. Super service from all staff members, great cocktails and wine, and yummy food. They handled dietary... restrictions with ease. Our only suggestion would be more Ontario wine on the menu. ????We will be back! Read more

We had a really nice dinner here. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was nice and chill. There were a couple... vegetarian options and we ended up getting the tofu and the fritters. I?m not a huge lentil fan so the tofu was my fave. We alsogot the chocolate dessert which was really nice! Read more
