The food was amazing! We loved every bite... From the tasting items to the apps, to our main courses and desserts, there was nothing we didn't enjoy. The meatballs were on point, complimented by a light and delicious sauce; the egg yolk ravioli was a delight. We had the bison and risotto - savoury to the last forkful - and the quail and polenta - flavorful and not too heavy. Dessert consisted of tiramisu and a banana-nutella tart, accompanied by cups of espresso that rivalled my Nonno's brew. The staff were lovely... from the moment we walked in the door until we left. We will definitely be recommending North & Navy to all of our foodie friends, and returning to try more of the amazing offerings on the menu :)
Well, what can we say in words that would sum up what a great experience we had there! ? We had Charles look after us and he was amazing....you never felt rushed yet he seemed to know exactly when we needed something. Even the fellow pouring water seemed to appear exactly when someone was running low. I am training for a fitness event and when they found out, they offered to cook my meal to my directions. Who does that !?!?! Wow! The food? It was spectacular. We had our daughter and her boyfriend with us who are both chefs who worked for Gordon Ramsey and they loved everything! How's that for a stamp of approval? We never felt rushed, the food flavours exploded in our mouths. This is a place I will bring any people visiting us and we will become regulars. Bravo guys. Well done.
Had dinner here with a friend last September and had the best time. The food was delicious (The carpaccio and the halibut in particular were incredible) and the service was wonderful. They brought us a blanket when it got chilly, made us amazing cocktails, and our server (Carlos?) was a delight. Thanks for the great experience!
Favourite restaurant in Ottawa. The food and the service are a top tier experience. You get the quality of fine dining in the food, drink and service but can also enjoy the vibe of a quaint and family-owned restaurant. Impress your parents or a date by taking the to North & Navy, they will not let you down! ❤️
The most beautiful room in Ottawa. First class service, wine list, and the menu is beyond.
Homemade pasta that tastes like your Nonna made it. The perfect restaurant for a special occasion and a great reason to get dressed up! 5 star service and the staff knows their wine. Was planning my next visit while I was eating my second course. Chefs kiss!
North & Navy is our go to restaurant for special occasions or date nights out. The food is 10/10, the service is amazing, and the atmosphere is perfect. Sebastian is a fantastic server! Hands down our favorite restaurant in Ottawa. (Photos are from their special pre-set Valentine’s menu).
Lovely experience - we went for an anniversary and could not have been happier with the food, atmosphere, decor, or the service. I love fresh pasta and this was like nothing else I’ve ever had. Will be back for more!
Consistently one of the best restaurants in Ottawa, NoNa can do it all - casual on Sundays, high-end (but still approachable) every other day of the week, and has adapted in some fun ways throughout the pandemic (mulled wine and warm brodo during fall patio season, yes please!).
Would have had my fifth visit there last weekend, but Centretown was unfortunately under siege by a mix of conspiracy theorists, bigots, anti-vaxxers, and generally unempathetic, selfish, and scared human beings who are lashing out in all the wrong ways.
Simply put, North & Navy is amazing. The ambiance, service, and food make it one of my favourite places in Ottawa. The incredible attention to detail makes this a dining experience you will not soon forget. I still dream of the short rib ravioli in the jus/whey sauce. It was so good that we ordered another serving for dessert!!
Be weary of poor reviews dated February 2022.
We just moved to Centretown a few months ago and we were lucky enough to actually move 2 min. walk away from North & Navy 😍 First experience there and it was incredible! Service, food, drinks and ambiance. Everything was perfect! We even had our own private "room". I highly recommend this, you won't regret it.
