Dianne’s fish and chips is one of the restaurants we visit frequently. They have the best calamari we have ever eaten - simply breaded but always crispy, with pickled peppers and an accompanying aioli.
One of the reasons that led us to seek out this restaurant is that it one of the few in our area that can boast a sustainable fish supply (“ocean wise” standard, which is regarded quite highly) and they locally source their beef.
We have tried the fish tacos a couple times and while the toppings were great and the fish delicate, we thought the corn tortillas tasted a bit undercooked. They aren’t made in-house, according to a waitress.
The service has always been great, although the first time we were there we didn’t receive the delicious complimentary buns they give you once you’ve ordered. The restaurant has always been clean as well.
You do have to traverse a set of stairs to use the washrooms, which prohibits wheelchair access to those facilities.
In terms of value, we thought that the calamari dish was a great deal considering how much food was on the plate. As for the fish tacos, they were quite small for the price. The Dianne’s hamburger was good, but paying $18 for a burger and quite ordinary fries may put some people off. We generally just go for the calamari now.
Awesome seafood - The fish cakes were awesome. The fish, beef and pork tacos were wow. The grilled yellowfin tuna simply fabulous and to top it all off must have desert hello Dolly.
I’ve read in many places about their infamous seafood poutine and decided to try it for myself!
Loved the combination and a very large portion!
The jumbo shrimp with fries were also delicious!
But what I loved the most was the amazinggg customer service, so kind and always checking up on us 😋
I recommend this place for all the pescatarians and seafood lovers out there! 💃🏽
Dianne's is one of Kingston's many restaurant gems. Located near Confederation Basin near City Hall, my wife and I have been here twice. The food and service is always top notch, and you get what you pay for with this local restaurant. On our most recent visit we shared two appetizers: the tequila shrimp and the crab cakes. Both were delicious, the shrimp especially! We originally ordered the fried calamari but it was a very busy night and they had run out, the manager offered us the crab cakes and comped our appetizers to our surprise! For our entrees my wife ordered the pulled pork tacos and I had the smokehouse ribs and brisket. Both were excellent and we both took food home! As we were there for our anniversary they also gave us dessert on the house! Try their bloody caesar or their margaritas, both cocktails were wonderful!
Delicious delicious delicious! Stopped in after reading great reviews and was not disappointed: had a simple supper of spicy calamari, Brussel sprouts, and a glass of Chardonnay. With tip, it came to under $25, and was worth every penny! Portion size, flavours, and execution was great - worth a visit if you're in Kingston!
Unexpectedly good 👍
We had seafood poutine, the best, great burger, fish and chips and awesome chowder. I hope you'll enjoy your dinner too
Had lunch here based on great Expert's reviews and certainly didn't disappoint. Service was outstanding. Friendly, fast, efficient and effortless. Food was awesome. My wife had fish taco's (they were really good) and I had the tuna poke and grilled Mexican corn...insanely good. So good in fact I tried to talk her into returning for dinner. A definite "you need to eat here" when in Kingston.

This is one popular restaurant. We were lucky to get in without a reservation - but missed sitting on the patio. That said the street outside seemed to have heavy traffic so maybe for the best. While there were a lot of customers and some background music, the acoustics were great as we could easily hear each other through the entire meal. Their specialty is battered fish (or shrimp) and chips, but only one of us tried that. . For starter drinks, two of us had wonderfully tart margaritas (so good we had a second) - another a minty mojito. But the final member of our party received the most impressive looking - a Caesar adorned with a small lobster claw (meat included). Then a basket of crusty rolls with a bit of coarse salt on the buttery crust hit the table. Delish! For food we tried - Fish Tacos (two of us), to die for grilled Mexican Corn (have to figure out how to make this at home), tasty Vallarta Ceviche, Smokehouse Platter (meat, tortillas, slaw, beans and fries) and Jumbo Shrimp and Chips (with slaw). Great meal and wonderful service. Again, suggest reservations.
We stopped in for Sunday brunch and enjoyed our visit. All the staff were happy and helpful, they answered our questions about the menu. They were prompt at seating us and taking our order.
My wife had the Seafood poutine, which was a nice take on poutine. Fries were great, the coconut green curry sauce and selection of mussels, shrimp and fish was great. I had the breakfast tacos with pulled pork, Guac and eggs. Very filling and great combo of flavours. We loved the setting and interior and would go back again the next time we are in Kingston
Went here for dinner for our first night in Kingston on Thursday... Decor and atmosphere was great.. food was mostly good... bread were very good... tried all 3 ceviches - how good it was really depended on the price.. Tuna Poke was very good, Scallop was good.. the Cod was just ok.... Also tried Fish and Chicken tacos... the fillings were good except the taco itself was dry/almost stale... not sure if they make them fresh.. if not it seemed like they forgot to "steam" or warm up the tacos... Calamari was too oily... I like they also battered and fried hot banana peppers and tossed them in the calamari...
