Occo Kitchen - Ottawa, Ontario

Great local small chain restaurant. Varied menu ideas and daily drink & munchie specials. Our server was very knowledgeable and responsive to all our requests.

We had an amazing lunch, but the mains took a long time to come out. My daughter kept saying oh this is so good about 10 times (referring to her burger). I couldn’t believe how good my burger was. It was just perfection. It was also nice and cool inside even ... on a hot day, which was a blessing. Next time I go, I am going to order the heirloom salad instead of the fries. I found the fries uninspiring, too thin and not hot enough. They should serve thick chunky fries that won’t get cold when the service is so slow. We also had to ask for extra ketchup. Their homemade ketchup came in a small cup only half full. When they brought more ketchup it was the regular ketchup? I also found that the servers control the conversation a bit too much. They shouldn’t scare away from the table so quickly. Read more

I always come here for their amazing tofu dish. It never disappoints. Tonight was beyond my expectations. Delicious as usual and look at this presentation! A pyramid of tofu so cute I didn't want to take it apart lol. Thank you Occo again and special thank you to the chef ... who put a lot of thought into displaying my meal. Read more

This was my second time at Occo Kitchen and it did not disappoint! We tried their salmon and quinoa bowl and chicken burger, both were absolutely delicious! Tried some drinks from local breweries which also paired well (OBC is just up the street if you find something you like and ... want more). Atmosphere is inviting yet intimate. Staff were attentive. Definitely recommend. Read more

I am so happy the pork belly tacos are back! Fantastic restaurant which has been beautifully renovated. We went for dinner, and had the new Birria tacos, and pork belly tacos. The passion fruit orbs in the salad were unexpected in the best way! I ordered a spicy margarita, which was strong but ... yummy. Service was fantastic, we will be back. Read more
