Reviews for The Village House in Wakefield, QC
Lovely restaurant in a quaint old house. Gorgeous view of the river and gourmet food. 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa and worth... the trip. Read more
This restaurant has a cozy little patio with a nice waterfront view. It would be a great date night spot if you're not in a... rush. I waited close to an hour for the main course(57min). The appetizers and desserts aren't fantastic. The main course wasvery good although both the Gnocchi and Beef short ribs lacked color in presentation. Both are very brown. I had the burrataand the pig's cheek. Burrata came with a single one inch piece of bread. I asked for more, but instead was served two plain andcold pieces. The local honey & pepperoncini gastrique dressing was fantastic but extremely lacking in quantity. It barelycovered the outside of the burrata. Once you cut it, all the flavour goes away and it's very flat for the taste buds. The pig'scheek felt greasy with a light taste of prosciutto. Overall, I would skip the appetizers and order the main course. The currentdessert menu has two mint options and one crème brûlé. This was a let down as I'm not a fan of anything mint. As for thecrème brûlé, I would expect something a bit more riveting from a 4.8 star restaurant. The service was average, and they didnot apologize much for the period of wait. There were 5 groups that arrived after us, yet they were all served before the two ofus. It was very frustrating watching the server bring everyone's plates before ours. Some patrons even managed to get to thedessert menu and pay before we started eating. Overall, I would go again, but have lower expectations. The main course was verygood, but everything else was rather lacking Read more
Impeccable service and delicious food. We had an amazing fresh salad with locally sourced produce from Juniper Farm (just around... the corner from Wakefield). We then had the vegan mushroom dish which was basically like fried chicken but mushroom withpotatoes and some other delicious things. Sarah the owner is so lovely and friendly and always makes sure your experience is 5star. Liam is a young and very talented chef! Best restaurant in Wakefield by far. Read more

What an absolute great experience. We ate outside and had a great view of the river while tasting delicious food. The service... was fantastic, with our server getting to know us and giving us a great personal experience. We started with the beef tartarwhich was delicious, followed by the beef short rib which fell apart. We would recommend to anyone. Read more
We've been to Wakefield so many times... and only discovered this gem of a restaurant yesterday. Intimate rustic space. Great... service. Their menu isn't large, but what they do is locally sourced and done very well. Make a reservation and try their diningexperience. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! Read more
This is the greatest restaurant in the area. On the website they say they are an upscale comfort food restaurant and the... description is spot-on. Every meal feels like a dinner at your grandparents without any compromise on the food quality. Locationwise it is perfect. You can eat inside on the bar counter or at a table or you could also eat outside on the heated terrace. Isuggest to eat outside because it has an amazing view of the lake. I would do the Montreal/Wakefield drive only for this food. Read more
