We were there for dinner on Saturday, everything was fantastic as ever, love the salmon 2 ways, so so good. Husband had fish and chips, could hardly finish it but could not leave anything behind! The lamb shank fell off the bone with great flavour. Service is always the best. Our favourite place to go.
All-You-can-Eat-Mussels aren't the only reason to go to my favourite place in the city.
From quick bites on the patio to riding the entire A la Carte menu on an evening out I highly recommend stopping in.
They support many local charities and are involved in the community a great deal.
My wife and I celebrated our 40th Anniversary at Bill’s, our first time at the restaurant. Great service! Superb food! Perfect atmosphere. I had the seafood chowder. As a Nova Scotian I have had a lot of Chowders, but Bill’s was the best ever. But don’t share this with my mom, she might not understand.
Great food! A lot of character in the restaurant, including lots of History. The staff there was very helpful and really friendly. On a corner, so there was a lots of parking on a side street right beside, as well as parking in front of the restaurant.
I would totally recommend this restaurant to anyone!
Amazing restaurant! The best customer service! The owner is super friendly and welcoming! The mussels and fries are to die for! Great wine selection as well!
Love this restaurant! The food is fantastic and the staff even better. We've been several times, including special bourbon and scotch tasting events, and have never been disappointed. It always feels like home.
For my birthday, I visited Petit Bill's with a friend( it was also his birthday as well!)
We both ordered the same dish which was the smoked salmon sandwich with a side of fries. The sandwich was comprised of house smoked Atlantic salmon with lemon aioli and watercress and served on country loaf. I quite enjoyed the sandwich but I felt like I couldn't taste the smokiness as much as I would have liked. The consistency was more like a steamed filet than the usual thin slices that is typical for smoked salmon. I loved the fries; crispy and oily without being too greasy.
We finished with dessert and both splurged on the earl grey crème brûlée. The taste was splendid and the bergamot flavour matched perfectly with the smooth cream. One thing that could have improved is the consistency of the full dish since the bottom of the crème brûlée was a bit lumpy compared to the top,
We accompanied our meal with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that paired beautifully with the smoked salmon.
As for the service, the server was polite and very friendly. Overall, a solid recommendation.
I went for dinner there tonight with my spouse. Warm welcome and fast service. Food is 5/5. Definitely a must try in Ottawa. I had the table d'hôtes : soup of the day, salmon wrapped in beacon with a light creamy sauce (good combinations of flavours), the cheesecake for desert was delicious.
Amazing service! Amazing food! Had the steak salad! Perfect and my hubby had the lobster Poutine. Amazing amazing!!!!! We will be back
Delicious and Great Service. Had to give this place a try. Service was amazing. The owner is very involved in the service... loved that. The food was unreal. I would go back in a heartbeat, not only because the food, but because I felt like my business mattered and was treated very well. look forward to trying more off their menu.
Love it!. I had dinner here a few years ago, and came back with some girlfriends. My second experience was just as good as the last. Delicious food (I had this yummy 'lightly curried' cod dish) that came out piping hot, the way I like it. The veggies and potatoes in the dish were cooked perfectly. My friends loved their dishes, and the service was fantastic too. Now that I'm in the neighborhood, can't wait to come back again!
Top 5 in Ottawa. This is a hidden gem. Forget all the over-hyped restaurants in the market. This is the real deal. The food is great, including the portion sizes, the restaurant is spacious and the tables are not smacked right next to each other like they tend to be. The service is the best ive seen in awhile. None of this new Rude/hipster style of service, which needs to stop. Great for families, couples or even a solo visit to the bar. 2 Thumbs way up.
Great meal and service in a beautiful location. I especially enjoyed:
+ Lobster poutine: They used an amazing savoury white sauce and perfectly cooked shoe-string fries.
+ Arctic char on a bed of risotto, balanced flavours well executed fish and risotto. It also presented really nicely.
Favorite dessert was bread-pudding paired with a creme anglaise. It had nice balance of sweetness and great texture contrasts: crispy edges with creamy/soft center. Delicious.
Since it was easy to talk over dinner it would make a great place to celebrate a birthday or team milestone with a special meal. Highly recommend.
Absolutely wonderful & friendly service:) loved our food, drinks and apps. I really enjoyed the lobster poutine!
Great food. Excellent staff. We had the seafood chowder, scallops and duck with carrot cake for dessert. The chowder was tasty with a Sriracha buttered bread. The scallops were okay but we expected a better dear, and honestly would have like 6 of them for the price. The confit duck was amazing and we got 2 legs which was really filling. The carrot cake was excellent with a great caramel drizzle on the plate. First time here, will definitely return to try more menu items.
Well made food attention to details kitchen staff have a clear skill and tallent. The east coast is very present in the flavours. Top end and welcoming. The front of house is attentive and knowledgeable on menu and drinks.
Highly recommend

If you are looking for very friendly service (even just with take away) in addition to some of the best food out there, Petit Bill's is a must go to place! They offer something for everyone, whether you love seafood, meat, are vegetarian or vegan all of the fantastic high quality food is right there! My Husband had the Bourbon City fried chicken sandwich which was all levels of wonderful. I had their pecan burger that has perfect, taste and texture. The pickles give the perfect top off! The side salad was super fresh and refreshing. For dessert we had the carrot cake and cherry chocolate torte. BOTH were divine treats and a perfect portion. If I could give this business 10 stars I would. Between the friendly, kind and caring service in addition to fantastic food makes it the perfect place to enjoy carefully crafted true quality food in every bite! My Husband loved his birthday dinner and we cannot wait to order in again, and most of all when things re-open sitting down and enjoying dinner in your restaurant again! Thankyou! K
Why we don’t talk about this place with the city’s best is beyond me. Service is impeccable, the owners check every meal x the culinary team is putting out high end food and the cocktails and wine list compete with anybody (even a mocktail list) it’s a never miss experience
We went there with our 2 young sons on a Tuesday night. Very welcoming staff, the owner came a few times himself to check on us, they were very nice with the kids and they even had a kid portion of the fish and chips (amazing by the way). Food was excellent, service was fast. Starters were on the small side but entrees were pretty generous. Very nice family night out!
