Love this place. The staff are very knowledgeable. The food and wine are all outstanding. I just wish you still had the smoked chicken poutine. PS please update your menu online so others aren't led to believe you still have the old menu.
My favourite and first stop place when I am in Ottawa. Very reasonably priced and the steak is always cooked to perfection and exactly how I ordered. The service is fast and always friendly and it is not a long wait for the food. The atmosphere is nice and it is a smaller restaurant. I am never disappointed with my meal here!

We are so glad to have found the perfect place to enjoy our last night in Ottawa. The excellent live jazz and cozy cellar atmosphere set the stage. We had fun choosing our wine and beer flights from the extensive Book offerings. Our $14 French fries � were well worth every penny! And the service...outstanding! Anja was knowledgable regarding the drink offerings, was attentive even though it started to get busy and beyond all that, was entirely charming! Ottawa has a fine advocate in her. Thank you for a lovely evening!
Great chill place for some good food and drinks. Service is fast and friendly. A great place to visit if in downtown Ottawa.
Came here with my boyfriend for a quick dinner. Tried the $14 steak, fries and salad. It was great! Ryan was an awesome server, very knowledgeable, classy and accommodating! Would recommend! Thanks Ryan you made the experience great!
This place is a gem! ! Love the atmosphere and staff...Jackie is epic...one of the main reasons I come to your establishment...keep up the great work! �
Love this place so much. Great food and even better staff. If you're looking for a great bevy ask Jackie. She knows her stuff!!
This is the most romantic bistro in Ottawa. Been going here since I met my hubby. Celebrated our 15th last night with wine flights. Reasonably priced food and endless selection of drinks. Love it here!
Jacky was extremely helpful and an absolute pleasure to be served by. I would highly recommend.
Great food, exceptional service provided by Jackie always. Love this place it's comfy and cozy.
Always great selection of wines, nice food, and fantastic service.
Amazing service and amazing food. Always a place I love to go too.
Buck a shuck Friday And Saturday nights. YUMMY
Thanks Steff
Awesome bar, quiet and dark. Great live jazz music and fantastic menu for wine and beer.
This is one of the best places in Ottawa! Jacky was great and made our night!
Best mussels ever, order creole!!! Wine is epic and buck a shuk oysters every friday saturday yoooo � give Steph her $20 :P
Great wine and beer selection. Great food and service. Awesome jazz nights and daily specials!!!
I'm definitely planning to make Vineyards a regular stop for me. Fridays and Saturdays the oysters are only $1/shuck. The oysters are decent, not as good as Whalesbone, but for a buck a shuck I really can't complain. They have this amazing fried camembert with blueberry that is just to die for, and a fried goat cheese salad that is amazing as well. Get the wine flights too, it's an amazing deal - for ~$15 you can try 3 different wines. You can also do the same thing with beer flights (6 different beers). I'd love to go back for jazz night, unfortunately there was no live music when I went.
Great selection of wine, but that's about it. The food menu is small and very underwhelming. I got the steak and fries which was your average frozen food reheated. Others got salads and pasta dishes but they were way overpriced for what arrived at the table.
Went last night to hear the live jazz music and had some great sea food the wine was great.
Luv this place. I love the warm atmosphere in this cozy bistro and the friendly staff. I go here several times and once I had four different staff ask if I need anything. Great wine and beer selection and the food is good, menu respectably varied.
Visited on a Friday night while in the area from Gatineau. Our waitress explained how to order our drinks at the bar, English pub style. Wine and beer lists are very comprehensive! We each ended up ordering flights of different kinds of wine to complement our meals. We each got a smoked chicken poutine, which contains a generous portion of chicken, crispy fries, a good sauce and balsamic drizzle on top. Very nice. I ordered seafood, and my fiancé had the lamb. Flavour of both dishes was very good, but the star of Vineyards is really the wine.
Their $12 French fries are one of the best dinner deals in the market.
Jambalaya is simply amazing with the Californian wine flight!
Wine, wine, wine! And beer too!. What an amazing wine menu! From the award, framed at the entrance, this place seems to have one of the best wine lists in the world. I can believe it, there are wines I've never heard of. Nice thing is it's not snobby, you can chat with the bartender and he'll fix you up with something you'll like, but you don't need to know your "terroirs".
If you are into beer, I think you'll be pleased as well. There's an entire menu dedicated to beer!
The food menu is smaller, but that seems fitting with the size of the beverage menus. Great apps, the cheese board is killer (I think there were 6 cheeses!), and I had curried lamb as my meal. I was urprised it was on the menu, but it sure was good!
Great service means it was all wrapped in pretty paper, so to speak. I will be back!
Really suprise by the taste of the food and really good choice of wine !!!!
Great Wine Sampling- Try the crabcakes!!. Great little gem hidden under the fish market in the Byward market. Their wine list is fabulous and all you have to do is tell them what you like and don't like and just like magic you get something great! Their crabcakes are amazing a must try! They specialize in seafood and have some really delicious choices. Cozy atmosphere and great staff that really know their stuff.
Terrific. Had a great time here, Sunday evening dinner with great service and food, as a bonus there was a complimentary cheese bar and a live jazz band around 8ish. Will be eating here again.
Thanks,
Owen
A great surprise not having been before. Really warm and comfy, nice people and good menu with huge wine and scotch selection
Recommend!. Great service and knowledgable staff. The bartender recommened the perfect wine pairings with our food orders. The steak and fries was good, and the price unbeatable! Will definetely be going back.
Steak and fries. I had the $12 french fries with a free side of steak (or something like that). It was good for the price. Next time I would probably just do 2 and for the price I would be happy. Lots of great beer on tap.
Perfect Portion of $12 Fries. Visited Vineyards last night with a friend. We were happy to escaping the humidity in this basement restaurant, one dripping in European charm. We tried the well-balanced Stilton starter plate, followed by the perfectly portioned $12 fries. My rare steak was pleasantly tender. We enjoyed our wine pairings, and appreciated that wine could be ordered by the small/large glass and bottle. Will certainly be back in the future either in a pair or small group to try other menu items and different wines and beers.
Great Place. Had the best meal in Ottawa here. The place was wonderful, food was great and the beers were too many to count. Go there and have a great time, some great food and try some of the beers or wines that you do nott see very often.
Vineyards describes itself as a Wine Bar and Bistro but it also serves an impressive number of beers from around the world (more than anywhere else in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, they claim), and there is also a pretty decent selection of single malt Scotches, although not nearly as extensive as at the nearby Highlander Pub . I make it a point of stopping the place every time I am in Ottawa, but, other than a cold plate appetizer I shared with my wife a few years ago, this recent visit is the first time I have ever gone there for a meal...
Home of the “$12 French Fries (with a magnificent side order of sirloin steak and Caesar salad)” and a beer menu that requires a second visit just to get to the end of the list! Situated on the same corner as two other restaurants, Vineyards has the feeling of being a bit hidden away in the city. Victoria ordered a Hoegaarden beer along with the Cajun Creole Belgian Style Mussels which comes with their (amazing) french fries and mayonnaise. I ordered a Stella Artois beer along with the Vineyards Belgian Style Mussels and we both got the deep fried Calamari with sour cream dill sauce. One special note about this place is that you have to walk up to the bar to order your drink, water is also available there when your thirsty for a refill. This is due to the tremendous selection and expertise that the bar staff have regarding pairings and beer choices. A server
Cozy and inviting environment with a very good choice of beers and wines. The wine flights also allow you to taste various wines during the evening. We both had the steak and Fries which included Caesar Salad as our main. They were nicely prepared to our liking and we also had the mussels and calamari as our appetizer. We will definately be back again.
Wd had a steak, jambalaya and a bottle of wine last week. The jambalaya was awesome, and seafoods inside was so fresh. However, the plate of steak was cold, so it's hard to enjoy it for a long time while drinking wine. The steak gets cold easily.
What a fun little spot! Great atmosphere, and our bartender was a blast (Michelle, I believe?) With wine flights, charcuterie, and live jazz, what’s not to love? Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back when I’m in Ottawa next.
Had thai curry mussels, beet & goat cheese salad, and shrimp linguini. Great staff, and really flavorful food. Loved the place!
Cozy spot with pleasant service. We tried the wine flights and enjoyed our dinner. The jambalaya was deliciously spicey with a generous portion of seafood. The steak was also very good.
The place has a good menu with nice variety. It was pretty easy for everyone in my group to pick something he/she likes. It also has great ambience and everyone enjoyed it.
A great venue for jazz! I was fortunate enough to hear Alex Lopez, a guitarist and singer with significant talent, as he demonstrated his skills last evening. He has a wide repertoire and performs it with heart.
The wait staff is friendly and efficient, with ready smiles and the ability to converse without holding anyone up.
Thanks to Stephanie and Elodie for rounding out a great evening!
A great selection of brews too!
Really nice cozy place, unique atmosphere. But the table wasn't the cleanest and was a bit sticky. But the food is delicious and the service was good.
