Swan at Carp - Ottawa, Ontario

Beautiful little pub with a quaint charm. The Swan is in a heritage building which has minimal renovation keeping the old home charm. We had the fish and chips and the Bibimbap for lunch. We are spoiled with fish and chips in our home town but this ... was still an acceptable second. The bibimbam however was mediocre but we are not in a Korea restaurant so it gets a pass. Read more

The food was tasty and server was lovely. Looking forward to returning on a warm sunny day for the patio. Prices very reasonable. We had starters, dinner, dessert +wine & beer.

The salmon was delicious! The beef sandwich was also very good. I don't want to be too critical, the few improvements that could be made are, and this is only MY opinion. #1. Once the food arrived, the waitress didn't come back to see how we liked the ... food. #2. Get rid of the plastic straws, I didn't know restaurants were still using these. #3. The restaurant is old which I love but it's now adorned with IKEA art and lights but the wallpaper is horrid and nothing really matches. It was not busy but we were seated back to back with another couple. Read more

Such a diverse fusion menu at Carp's hidden gem. This chef is extremely creative and the dishes really showed a level of innovation that is at the top of the Ottawa restaurant scene, and surprisingly Swan is out in Carp! Highly recommend the sushi (we had spicy salmon, ... which is not too spicy).. excellent french onion soup and I ordered the suicide Jambalaya which want initially spicy but rather a slow burn that increases over time. Thoroughly enjoyable and good for another repeat visit with all those interesting menu items! Read more
