The Albion Rooms - Ottawa, Ontario

We went for brunch. Their brunch menu was small but had variety. We ordered the duck poutine and croque monsieur. The duck poutine was good and filling. The croque monsieur was a bit small. Overall the duck poutine was worth it but the croque monsieur was a bit pricey for what ... you get. Thr atmosphere is cute and plenty of seating is available. Read more

Ordered "Tri Color Tortilla" which is basically nachos. However this is the saddest nachos I've ever had. I would give it 2 stars, but I gave an extra star because their duck confit is actually pretty good. I now know why I don't see a google photo of this dish. ... People probably didn't know what they're eating. There was barely any cheddar. The "salsa dip" from the description on the menu was almost non-existent. There were merely some sprinkled chopped tomatoes. Only the few chips at the top were partially covered with some substance, everything underneath was dry like chips from a bag. I see why they don't call it nachos, it's literally just a bag of tri color chips with some sprinkled topping. AND WHERE IS THE SOUR CREAM?? Check the pictures and see for yourself! I might as well just get a bag of chips from Costco and put them in a fancy plate. At the end of the meal, I did inform the staff of the lack of salsa, and he said he would tell the kitchen. If you ever come here for brunch, order this with caution. I hope they 1. Change the dish name on the menu to reflect what it is (Nachos, or Tortilla CHIPS with toppings) 2. Responsibly put the ingredients you listed in description in the actual dish. Nobody wants dried bag of chips in a bowl at a "4 star hotel" brunch. 3. Keep up the good work on the duck confit Read more

This was definitely a bust. I ordered a burger and fries. Just wanted a quick bite. Didn’t even take a menu. The menu outside sounded good. They made me an undercooked burger. Pink in the middle. They took my plate away to remake it. They took the fries. Waiter realized I ... was sitting there hungry waiting, brought fries back. . While I cont. to wait ..Proceeded to take almost 30 minutes to re make burger. I got up looking for wait staff to say hey what’s going on here. They were going to charge me full price.. they brought back a bill for 23.73 .. you gave me a pink burger .. and then didn’t replace it in a reasonable amount of time. You could have at least compt it? Bad service and expensive. I did not eat the remade burger at the restaurant. I was pretty turned off by the whole experience. No real remorse that I could get sick while I’m on a trip here. Not happy. Being prompt with the re-fire or being sincerely sorry could have prevented my poor review. Do better. Read more

Went there with a big group on a Monday night. Food was quite good, albeit quite rich in the pasta dish I was told by a tablemate. Duck Confit was very nicely prepared and great flavour. Good cheese and charcuterie selection , but definitely on the pricier side. ... Only reason I didn't do 5 stars, which I try to do to support restaurants with good food is that the service was very lacking. Only one or two other tables in there for most of our time, and it took an incredibly long time for everything (i.e., 35min for first round of drinks, once ordered, which took a long time to get to ordering). Will try again, and recommend others try, but that service was so lacking that I can't give 5. Read more

The food was excellent, really great taste. We went for the Christmas option and it was just excellent. The desert was really good as well. The service though was a little bit slow even the place wasn't full, we ask for a bottle of wine and we received another ... one with a similar name but not the what we request for. Read more
