Memories Restaurant - Ottawa, Ontario

Had some dessert and coffee. They were out of cheesecake, but we had carrot cake and German chocolate cake. So good! The coffee was excellent. Definitely not 'diner style' coffee, but rich and full bodied. My wife had a hot chocolate that was obviously home made, not from a packet. ... Service was excellent and the waitress was so friendly. We will be going back! Read more

Please stay away from this place. This is quite noise place even second floor not going to help, service could be better but, worth is the food. You might find what you would like to try but, most likely it won't be available. If you are going to select something ... fron seafood menu it would be unacceptable from different aspects. So, if you would like to have bad memories - guarantee, order some cousine from this house and you are going to have upset stomach or even worse - food poisoning. Read more

I love going to Memories. The natural light and surrounding courtyard are charming and there are trees and a statue nearby! The coffee is excellent as is the food. The staff are lovely and as I go early in the day the place is wonderfully quiet and I ... can actually hear my table-mate's conversation. Music not too loud either. One of my favourite places in Ottawa Read more

I really like coming to this place for coffee and or dessert. It's usually quiet with a few couples or some families celebrating an event. I've never been there when it was cramped for space. The owner is lovely although I haven't seen her recently. The last few ... times my apple pie or berry pies weren't heated up all the way through. It's fine as they will reheat it for me but it's this type of thing that makes me feel the glory days of this place are slowly being overshadowed by other great eateries and dessert places nearby. I still do recommend going! Read more

Memories has decent food but terrible service. Their old location was small and yet actually serving their customers seemed like an impossible task. Now they have a much bigger (and nicer) place but unfortunately, they didn't bother to upgrade their staff. Our waitress made us pay almost as soon as ... we got our meal and once she left no one ever came back to check on us. I guess they got our money so there was no need. Read more
