Oz Kafe - Ottawa, Ontario

We really enjoyed our dinner here! Food was definitely the highlight, the dishes are very well thought out and put together and cooked extremely well (I recommend the Enright Beef)! The interior has a lot of charm and is rustic while being elegant. Service was on point as well!

OZ Kafe is a great find, tucked away near ByWard market. We have been in Ottawa almost a week and it's by far the best food we have had since arriving. Very chilled yet sophisticated atmosphere and the waiter that served us was lovely. We had the beetroot and goats ... cheese starter which was incredible. Our mains were extremely flavoursome pork and chicken dishes, and we shared a gorgeous lavender and honey cake for pudding. The beer, wine and cocktail selection was also fantastic. Well worth the money, would highly recommend! Read more

I came here based on all the reviews, and it was a bit of an adventure figuring out where it was, I had to go into the back alley of a back alley to find Oz, but it was well worth it and more. I'm from Toronto, land of the mean ... Canadians, so having such nice service everywhere I go in Ottawa has been a bit of a shock. That being said, our server Kevin (and another gentleman by the end of the evening, unfortunately didn't get his name) were the best servers I've had this week, both charismatic and informative without being too overbearing. There was a party happening upstairs this evening so we were warned that food service may be a little slow to arrive. Despite the warning, it didn't take too long for food to arrive at all. And the food? It was damn well delicious. Best dinner I've had in my short week in Ottawa, and all the food I've had here has absolutely banged! My Grilled Enright Beef was the perfect end to my trip, cooked just as I ordered and deceptively filling. I was cutting my steak into smaller pieces just so I wouldn't be done with it so soon. Even with the upstairs party going on, the ambiance is excellent, and the scene is welcoming and diverse. Felt right at home at Oz Kafe and you would as well. Highly highly recommend! If Ottawa keeps treating me this good I might have to find work here and ditch dusty Toronto, damn! Read more

The setting/atmosphere of this restaurant is romantic, quaint, and comfortable while also trendy. The staff was welcoming, and informative of menu items and wine selections. Food was ON POINT!! So good, flavours were amazing, portion size was perfect, and presentation was gorgeous. This restaurant is a great spot for a romantic, intimate ... date night or for friends to get together. Highly recommended! Read more

A bit hard to find as the main access via York Street was blocked by construction but well worth it. Very friendly staff and fast service. The smoked pork tenderloin had the perfect temperature.
