The Elmdale Oyster House & Tavern - Ottawa, Ontario

One of the best laid back places in town. A classic and excellent place to grab oysters. They make a great dark and stormy! If you like locally sourced beers and food, they've got a great selection.

It has bit of a rustic atmosphere that very much fits the tavern description and makes for a good place to drop around with the gang. Service was excellent but a bit slow. The food was quite good and we enjoyed oysters followed by a lobster spaghetti dish and fish ... and chips. The cheesecake was delicious. Read more

Me and my girlfriend had a date night and absolutely loved the place. We got a mixture of 12 oysters and lowkey wanted more! The food was a bit salty for my taste but still lovely. Service was friendly and helpful. We will be back for the nighttime. Love the ... music set! Read more

Amazing place for amazing oysters… and many other awesome foods! A beautifully appointed restaurant with quaint and rustic decor reminiscent lof the 50s! Oh if these walls could talk! Established in 1934, fully updated and unique decor. Staff is incredibly attentive, very friendly and intuitive. Our server Jordan was amazing, ... as was our shucker… If you’re looking for a great evening out with excellent service, and excellent food, this is the place. Read more

Very very pleased with the service and the food. Oysters sourced from PEI could taste the freshness and came with a lovely selection of toppings. Pricing was set up nicely too. In addition we ordered the beef tartare and chocolate mousse cake The ambience was a bit hectic with bigger groups and very loud ... music over all it was an enjoyable location but would avoid if you’re looking for an intimate night out Read more
