Absolutely top shelf food along with great service. Aye here a couple of times a week for a few months. Steak was amazing, though the seem to be a little off how you order it cooked. But the quality of the meat was excellent, tasted like fine aged steaks I have had elsewhere and I would say the best in town next to grill 41. But the prime rib sandwich was also just a superb treat for lunch several times. Nice outdoor seating and good ambiance inside.
Having visited with my daughter in Ottawa recently I had the pleasure of dining at Luxe Bistro. We were treated like royalty by our server Elizabeth. The food was incredible so a big thank you to the chef/s. We also had the pleasure of dealing with the manageress Brittany, both Elizabeth and Brittany made our visit very memorable and enjoyable. Outstanding staff and amazing food in a great location. I loved Luxe so much that as a family we are travelling from Toronto back to Ottawa and Luxe Bistro for the purpose of having my Birthday Dinner. I could not wish for a better treat than looking forward to eating there again.The reservation is already made and I just can't wait.
Splendid food. The calamari are simply the best, The wedge salad and lobster poutine rounded out a sumptuous feast for two. And, of course, the service is attentive, cordial and classy. The manager is always about to check on the satisfaction of his customers. Our favorite Bistro in Ottawa!
Amazing food! Friendly staff! Great atmosphere! A must visit while in the Ottawa Byward Market, especially on Tuesday for complimentary oysters!
Definitely the best eggs benny in Ottawa! And the smoothies are 10/10. ��� I'll be back.
Baie baie lekker!! Best steak I have had in a long time! And service was outstanding! In fact I went there two nights in a row!
My LTR byward chocie. � this place is always great.

Had the beef stroganoff and it was absolutely fabulous.
The food was out of this world! I had the 14oz bone in Rib Steak....in a word...AMAZING!
Our meals were fantastic and so was the service!!!
Amazing service and the smoked Manhattan was insane.
Delicious oysters, amazing service! Very friendly and welcoming.
Came here for lunch, and ordered the 14oz boneless rib steak with Mac & cheese.
The steak was cooked perfectly rare as requested, and had a phenomenal sear. Very delicious. The mac and cheese could have used a touch more sauce, but was still quite good.
It was incredibly hot outside, and unfortunately it didn't appear that they had air conditioning. However, the staff was very attentive with refilling water, and ensuring everything was great. Service was definitely on point.
The price is on the high side, but given this is a higher end place, it was expected, and it was one of the best steaks I've had in a restaurant, so I believe it was worth it. Would recommend if you're looking for a nice meal out for a special occasion.
Lunch on the deck, couple of good Caesars, Crispy Chicken Burger and the Surf & Turf Burger - pricey, messy but sooo good. Frites are addicting, service was excellent.
Came here with my co-workers for lunch and it was a wonderful experience! The service was very friendly, although it was a bit slow even though the restaurant was still empty when we arrived. The food was delicious! I had the seared scallops with sweet potato risotto, apples and pomegranate. It was an interesting combination of flavours and the pomegranate added a nice taste that balanced the creamy risotto. Loved it! My co-workers seemed quite impressed with their stroganoff and steak tartate as well so I'll definitely be trying those next time!
I started coming here when one of my favorite places to get brunch stopped serving it. So on my quest to fine a good place for Eggs Benny... well not only did I find a good place it is lick your plate worthy every time I come. My old place brought back their brunch but I much prefer brunch here. I will make a point to try dinner. My only complaint is their coffee mugs are so small that the coffee gets cold really quick, although they are really good about coming by to top up the coffee. Wonder if they would let me bring my own mug?
It was my first time at this location. Absolutely amazing service. I ordered the roasted Bone Marrow to start. I was a little disappointed in it. It is a $16 for very little to eat. The main of roasted lamb was cooked perfectly and very delicious. I will definitely be returning here. A must try for sure.
Awesome place for burgers.
Went there for dinner but ended up again ordering burger as I was fed up of crappy burgers at fast food joints.
I recommend this place a lot.
Great Sunday brunch.
Breakfast classic - nice and healthy
Benny's eggs Benedict - perfectly cooked.
Great side bacon
Very good service.
Would like a larger selection of teas.
I've been here twice! For lunch in Canada day, and for breakfast this morning! Both times have been amazing , even on a busy day like Canada day.
Came here Nov 1st for a friends engagement dinner. Amazing venue for the 40-50 of us that were there!
Super fun. Loved the style of the restaurant. The food was amazing, I had the soup, and the main (gnocchi) that's in the picture.
Would come back.
Although tiny, the Luxe Bistro patio is the perfect ambiance for lunch on a Summer afternoon in Ottawa's Byward Market. Burgers & Frites are my usual go-to, however I recently decided to give their beef tartare a try and I was not disappointed.
I'll be honest. I'm not a huge breakfast food person but there's something about any Eggs Benedict that makes waking up early that much easier. I ordered the Fancy Luxe Benedict: lobster, asparagus, hollandaise, and chives. It's essential to get all the elements of the Benny on your fork for each and every bite. This combination was delicious, though I wouldn't mind a slightly richer hollandaise as this one was thin and light. Still yummy. The baked beans were tender and sweet. Benny, Benny, Benny!
I'm not exactly sure why the ratings are low. The server was very friendly, but more importantly, attentive. The place was packed, and everyone seemed quite happy.
The food: fish tacos - excellent, perfect crispness complemented by fresh cilantro and pickled veg.
A rueben! That's right a designer Reuben. I loves me some smoked meat and have had a lot. The in house made smoked meat absolutely melted in your mouth, literally. Time was taken on this usually simplistic item. The cheese was properly warm and melted to complement the warm meat, topped by toasted but fresh as hell Rideau bakery rye. All in all, it crushes any Montreal smoked meat.
Decent beer on tap, although it is a shame that they opted for beer from BC, and dropped some locals.
I shall return.
Best Service. I had my first meal at Luxe bistro a couple of years ago and my family has been returning there for special occasions ever since. We have never had a single bad experience with the food or service. Just last week we dined for our grandmother's 75th birthday and she was treated like royalty: the waitress even brought out a huge beautiful dessert that was enough for the four of us to share.
Thanks Luxe for helping us celebrate!
Third time here, all great experiences! Delicious steaks and great friendly service!
High recommended...
I finally went to Luxe last night with my boyfriend for a long overdue date night. It was very busy but they took us last minute anyway and delivered perfect service! (Thank-you Ali!)
Loved the tuna crudo and had the scallops for dinner. Ill be back :)
Nice atmosphere, excellent service. Order moules and fries very good. The service excellent. Food very good and well presented and tasty. The salmon was also tasty.
The best !!!. I can say that a lot of love and passion for excellence goes on behind the scenes. The food is handled with some of the most care and precision I have seen. The chef emphasizes quality and professionalism in every aspect, which is something I have found very lacking in the Ottawa food scene. Yes, it is a touch pricey, but unless you are just a picky person or are used to dining in New York or Montreal, This is one of the best places you can go to for your money.
If it keeps going in the direction it's heading, I wouldn't be surprised if these plates would be ready for Micheline inspection in the next couple of years.
Personal recommendations.
Starter: Calamari fricassee
Main: Any choice cut of beef
Dessert: Peanut butter mousse
Honorable mention: Bouillabaisse
Grrreat Fries. Great FRIES Luxes!!!
Fries do not get better than their frites, and an ambundance for the price... good times for luxe lunch fries!
Exquisite food and very dedicated service. I would recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.
I am quite a picky customer and I was really impressed. I had the the Steak Frites and it was a delicious piece of meat, cooked exactly as I asked it! Price was reasonnable too.
Don't know where the criticism are coming from. My wife and I ate at Luxe and we found the food and service to be exceptional. Our only problem was that we couldn't eat more! I fully recommend Luxe Bistro.
Amazing ByWard Market Restaurant Experience!. I went to Luxe Bistro for the first time on Friday night and I loved everything about it!
Not only is the extensive wine list extremely impressive; but also the food was delicious.
My boyfriend and I both ordered the 10oz Steak with smoked shallot butter, served with Luxe frites and chive aioli; and for dessert we shared the Chocolate peanut butter mousse with a caramel filled chocolate shell, it was mouth-wateringly good.
I can't wait to go back and try the Lobster Poutine, which our server also recommended as being one of their most popular items on the menu.
Excellence. I have been to Lux three times to date, each time was wonderful. Twice was for a simple lunch and last and most anticipated was dinner.
We tried crabcakes and the scallops apps both were a taste sensation, the scallops were a slight favorite if I only was going to have one.
My date had a daily special and loved every bite, I had one of the fish off the main menu and it was sublime.
We were there on a Sunday and little bonus 20% discount on wine so we had a couple of nice bottles. Service was perfect, we never had to touch a wine bottle and not till the end was our glass ever empty.
100% recommend..
PS: The Fries are fantastic.
We've had consistently good food. We've eaten here several times lately and the food is always good. We had the filet minon steak and frites which was delicious. Their specials are good too. The service is helpful without being intrusive. We'll go back.
I only recently found out they do brunch, and it was delicious. I’m a huge eggs benedict fan, and they had lobster eggs benny – this east coaster was sold.
Luxe Bistro is a nicely appointed and comfortable place and, all in all, I had a very pleasant evening there. My steak was not very good, and the sides mediocre, but, given the excellent oysters and the top-notch service, I am inclined to put that down as just an unfortunate ‘accident’ and not reflective of the general quality of the establishment. I will go there again.
Located in the Byward Market, Luxe styles itself as a blend of Steakhouse and French Style Bistro. In my opinion, it is neither, especially not at lunch. Luxe does offer 6 different cuts of beef on its dinner menu, with an interesting selection of sauces and side dishes. But at lunch time, the selection is reduced to two very specific cuts (...) Overall, for $20, le Steak-Frites de Luxe was a good choice. We both enjoyed our meat and, also importantly, the service, which was efficient and courteous.
spectacular experience with Tom and Olivia this evening! they were amazing from start to finish.
the drinks were wonderful (drank my Tickle Me Pink too fast to take a picture but it was delicious - Tom recommended it and it rocked!)
food was out of this world. they do steak like no one else, cooked to perfection, tender, flavourful, all around fantastic.
the tartare….. y’all…….. delish. the fries with the steak frites are so delightful, little shoestring fries with truffle oil and lots of parm🤤
we will absolutely be returning!
Wow. What an absolutely incredible meal. Extravagant from tip to tail.
The seafood platter was delightful with an amazing tomahawk steak on the side. I’m not eating for weeks after this.
Staff was friendly and helpful, everything top notch. If you’re looking for an amazing night out in Ottawa, this is the place, without a doubt.
Delicious food, cozy and upscale atmosphere, nice mixed crowd. The cocktails were top notch! Our server was amazing and we truly had a great time. Try the oysters! So tasty.
Good steaks, good cocktail and very pleasant staff, all in a modern yet cozy room. All the side dishes were excellent. Tried all six on the menu. The peppercorn sauce was a bit thin but tasty. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the meals.
The food was absolutely delicious, presented beautifully, great portions, fast service, and our server Tom was superb. Definitely highly recommend to anyone visiting the market.
There was no soup on the menu. Really disappointing for that caliber of restaurant. The lamb shank we ordered was good overall, the meat was really nice and falling off the bone. The service was good and the caramel cheesecake was amazing!
Great steaks and beef dinners. Location is excellent. Right in the Marketplace. Desserts were to die for. I would avoid the Lobster Poutine.$$$
