The food is exceptional!! Everything we had was vegetarian and delicious. The atmosphere is trendy, open and fun. The staff is attentive and helpful. Highly recommend.
Loved everything... the staff, the vibe, the music and of course the food. The chicken sandwich, don't be fooled by its name, is to die for... an explosion of flavours. We tried several different plates and everything was wonderful. It's sister restaurant, Towne, is just as remarkable!!
Amazing experience. Drinks are well designed with delicate twists to perfection. Sunchoke was presented 5 ways, elevates and emphasizes the natural texture and flavor. The dessert, tropical mess, is sweet and sour with layers of crunchy almond and creamy sorbet.

This place been on my list for awhile so I was really glad to finally try them the last time I was in the area! I’ve been to their sister restaurant Town prior to the pandemic and loved their menu so I was super excited to try this place!
I love their menu - they change from time to time and it’s always refreshing to see new dishes to try 😋 I loved the meatball dish when I dined at Town prior to the pandemic so I was so glad to that they kept that on their menu at Citizen!
Featuring:
- Quebec pork country pâté - smooth and delicious, the condiments/sides adds depth and complexity to the dish
- Burrata and Peperonata - cheese was super fresh and that pepeonata - I don’t like olives normally but Loved it on this!
- Humboldt squid calamari - amazing squid - lightly battered and the cucumber salad underneath adds a refreshing tone
- town meatballs - just as good as I remembered it the first time, swipe to see how large that meatball is 😍
My server also recommend one of the best raspberry beers I’ve ever had. Every single dish was excecuted to perfection and the flavours are complexed yet balanced, and presentation was impressive.
If you’re ever in ottawa, def check them out! They also have an online shop in their Town location for pantry items as well as beer, ciders and wine!
A slam dunk in so many ways. A definite place to try in the Ottawa area.
I visited with a few friends and tried multiple items, including their roasted sweet potato hummus, town meatballs, Humboldt squid calamari, and sweet corn creme brulee. You can either share or every person can get their own meal, but we decided to order a few things to share. Suffice it to say that they were all absolutely incredible, and each dish coming out of the kitchen left us eager to try the next one. Everything was flavourful, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. My personal favourite was the roasted sweet potato hummus, but if you find something on the menu that sounds good to you, chances are that you'll love it.

So so good. Everything was perfect. We enjoyed every single dish. I can't even name which was the best because they were all delicious. Love the ambiance and vibe! Definitely will return. My server was amazing, wish I got his name! Do yourself a favour and eat here. Thanks Citizen
Citizen is THE SPOT! The food and drinks are always creative and really well done. The staff is super friendly and fun. Definitely check out the wine shop!
Oh wow! I may have a new favorite restaurant in Ottawa. The food was delicious! I tried their meatballs (that bread!), the eggplant (which was the main reason I wanted to go), and calamari. Everything was 10/10! Their cocktails are also yummy. Definitely recommend.
One of the better dining experiences in Ottawa, bar none. It fondly reminds me of restaurants in Singapore.
