Absolutely delicious! Fresh seafood! Best oysters in town. I went a second time and had octopus that melted in my mouth. Great service. One of my favorite spots in the city!
Located in a nondescript store front at 504a Kent Street (just behind the Ottawa Bus Station), the Whalesbone is an amazing provider of sustainably caught/raised fish (both fresh and smoked), oysters, and a variety of other seafood, depending on what is fresh and available. But also go there for the fabulous sandwiches!
The shrimp dumplings are the best that you'll ever have! The ambiance is always very pleasant and the staff attentive and friendly. Go in and you'll see what I'm talking about. Cheers!
This place has amazing service! Sat at the bar for lunch with co workers and chatted up the friendly bartender. Had some incredible fish and chips and will be returning to try some more items off their menu. Co worker had the clam chowder and really enjoyed it! Looking to return with hubby for dinner one evening.
I kick myself if I don't get the brown-bag lunch at least once a week. Ive decided to set an alarm on my iphone to tell me come here every tuesday for the free chowder
The food is amazing! It is not a restaurant but more to take out even if there is a few table. It is not a nice place but it is a real treasure for food! Cheap and great food, you got to go and try!
The guys there seem to like their job and they always make sure you lnow what you are eating!
Yummy lunch spot!. I have been to this place a few times for lunch and every single time it has been amazing! I tired a few of their sandwhiches and they were all great, fresh and full of flavour! The price is cheap it's a perfect lunch spot!
O. M. G. Sat lunch. Oyster po'boy. Sooo great! Love you guys!
Yummy fish sandwiches. So yesterday was tax day. Thought fish would be good for the brain. Got wonderful cod sandwiches, silky "chowdah". Perch po'boy was also yummy, but could have used a few more moments in the fryer.
This really is our go-to spot for quick, fresh, and delicious lunch. The folks are friendly, the buns, fish, and sauces are great - just enough zing in the dressing to make it all hang together.
In the past, we have also enjoyed the smoked fish sandwiches, which are lighter, and super flavourful.
Best best best lunch in town. Well the Whalesbone Oyster House is my fav restaurant in the city so maybe I am biased. My mouth is watering writing this review having flashbacks of the sandwich I had here. No tables, a few places to sit at a bar like table, the place is purpose built. We both had the cod sandwich which had an amazing zing, like new orleans with an aioli that cut right through it. I find some of the sandwich places in town do way too much and you feel terrible afterwards, this was perfect (and I like to eat!!). We shared an order of homemade cut potato fries (as they recommended it was quite large. My husband had the seafood chowder which was creamy, not too much and not loaded up on the cornstarch which is what I find many restaurants do to cheap out and not have to use as much cream. love love love this place and hands down my fav spot to stop in for lunch
