The meal was excellant and the ambiance was perfect for a nice intimate evening. We attended for our wedding anniversary and our waiter overheard my toast to my wife, wishing her a happy anniversary. He later served us a "special" dessert which was unexpected but appreciated. It's the small details that matter.
Great meal as always ! This restaurant is well worth a visit ! Read the review then book in advance
What an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Dishes are a work of art and the flavors are outstanding. Service and atmosphere is second to none in Ottawa.
Enjoyed a fabulous lunch with friends. Excellent, personable service, delicious food and very good wine selection. AND parking, in downtown Ottawa!
Magnifique repas, tout à fait exceptionnel!
Un peu plus de français serait apprécié.
Best lunch specials in town. Imaginatively prepared food.
It was a perfect night. Food was excellent, perfectly prepared and attractively presented. The waiters paid attention to every detail. The sommelier was amazing, offering us a tailored tasting with our meal and was very knowledgeable.

First Class French. Exquisite! My wife and I had the Chef's Tasting Menu with wine pairings...outstanding. Each of the 5 courses was inspired and flawlessly prepared. The wine pairings perfectly complemented each dish. Service was just the right level of attentiveness. My only suggestion would be for the server who brings each course to give a recap of the dish for those of us with poor memories lol.
Divine. My partner worked here as a server, and without a doubt the kitchen prepares everything authentically, fresh, perfectly detailed, and the chef's meticulous method and French background is clearly apparent. When I ate here, the quality was striking, the atmosphere was charming, and I was completely stuffed! Really pleasant dining experience.

Dear Julia: Happy 100th birthday! When I reflect on your many wonderful qualities, what I think stands out most for me is how tenacious you were about fulfilling your desire to learn how to cook. To leap into a program as demanding as that of Le Cordon Bleu in Paris is not for the faint of heart - killing lobsters, trussing chickens, deboning ducks. You seemed so unfazed by all the hard work required to complete the program. So when I was invited on a lunch date this past Wednesday, and was left with the responsibility of choosing the dining destination, I jumped at the chance to celebrate your big day with friends at Le Cordon Bleu right here in Ottawa. Lucky us. I so wanted to sit out on the large, stone terrace with a view of the magnificent fountain across the road in Strathcona Park. The weather co-operated. It was sunny and a warm 25ºC. The wait staff doted on us. At times there seemed to be more of them than us. The cutlery was shuffled or replaced according to protocol as we mo
What a treat! Well priced meals that were absolutely delicious. The rotating menu makes it interesting and means you always have a chance to try something new. Great customer service too, with the wait staff very attentive.
I often come back to this restaurant for their blind tasting menu! The food is always very different and absolutely delicious! The high quality of products used is definitely noticed, and the service is always great. Can't wait to go back!
We had visited this restaurant a few years ago but was recently here as part of a special event. Cocktails and canapes in the bar area to start and then a tour of the facilities, followed by a three course dinner with wine service. Service was good, food was amazing as usual. A little gem, not widely known. One of only 3 restaurants as part of the Cordon Bleu school and the only one in North America. How fortunate for those who live in Ottawa.
It is first time to come to signature restaurant foe supper. The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxing and wonderful. The food there is extremely amazing and impressed to me. My brother and I had a great time and we will definitely come visit again. At the end of the supper, we got two macaron, they were gorgeous and not too sweet. The macaron gave the supper which is five courses a perfect ending. It is my pleasure to have a such amazing supper in Signatures restaurant.
The best place to enjoy every bite of your meal. The scallops are must try and I’m going to tell you why, because those people know how to cook it to perfection. The Chef was so understanding of our dietary restrictions which led us at the end to enjoy all this masterpieces without any concerns. Thanks a lot to signatures and Le cordon blue you are unbeatable keep it on.
Definitely work the dining experience. Cheaper then most trendy places with AMAZING food. The complimentary courses and digestifs truly make it worth it. Couple with amazing service and a great design that has a wonderful ambiance.
I've known of this Cordon Blue teaching restaurant for a while and recently tried it for a Mother's day dinner.
Highlights; the Foie Gras was the finest I've even had. The beef tenderloin and deer loin were choice and their Fundy scallops really went well with the suggested white wine.
I had the 5-course meal (seasonal) which I highly recommend if you'd like to sample their menu. At $95, I considered it a bargain.
I also went with the wine sampling they offer with the 'Gastronomique menu'. While the wines (4x 3oz glasses... sparkling wine, Ontario white, Ontario red, Italian red) certainly highlighted the flavours of the plates they accompanied, at $65 I would have expected some finer European wines.
The staff were great and took obvious pride in the food served. We sat outside and enjoyed a bug-free June evening.
