Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Downtown

Fantastic service and great food. Have eaten here twice before and this was the first time for my valentines date. We will come again for sure.

Awesome date night for valentines. Was disappointed at only one thing. The 5 course tasting menu we booked was canceled and instead it was a 3 course with an optional 4th for extra money. Ben our server was fantastic and the food was great. Its was an amazing experience for high end dinning in Ottawa.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Beckta From start to finish, our experience at Beckta was nothing short of amazing. The service was impeccable—though we unfortunately forgot the name of our waitress, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. We opted for the menu dégustation, and every course was a masterpiece. The flavors were expertly balanced, the ingredients fresh and thoughtfully chosen, and each plate was presented beautifully, showcasing the culinary artistry that makes Beckta stand out. A true highlight of the meal was the blue cheese dessert—an absolute wow factor! It was a bold yet perfectly executed creation by the pastry chef, demonstrating incredible skill and thoughtfulness in its composition. Beyond the food, the ambiance was intimate and inviting, striking the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. It’s clear that Beckta is committed to delivering not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for a top-tier restaurant in Ottawa, Beckta is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

The meal was very enjoyable and had lots of unique dishes coupled with very amazing techniques. I was a very big fan of the trout ravioli which was so unique and amazing. My only suggestion is not double desert but one more creative entree. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, ambiance was great and it was definitely overall a great experience. Oh the tip is included in the bill which was also kinda cool.

I am a frequent solo diner and Gitanes is a place to get a wonderful dinner after a day of grinding! Hanger cut on the Steak Frites was amazing even with my “well-done” choice. The White Bronco was a refreshing cocktail and it definitely reminded me of acquitting things if they do not fit. The Sorbet was a nice dessert after feeling lethargic from the good food and good service. 5 big booms! 💥💥💥💥💥
