Suggestions for a good restaurant in Ottawa for a Birthday Dinner?

Question

It's my 26th birthday next weekend and I'm looking for suggestions on a great place for dinner.

Answer 1

If you like Indian food I highly recommend Cafe Shafali on Dalhousie.  The Keg is pretty good too and there's a new Lonestar restaurant that opened up on the market recently. Oh and Giovanni restaurant on Preston is awesome. Happy birthday!

Answer 2

Mother Tucker's in the Market: the birthday girl/boy eats free.

Answer 3

I would definately look into little Italy, there are some really good restaurants there

Answer 4

Search for "fine dining" on the former -- if you like that sort of thing...?

"Tucker's Marketplace" gives you a free feed on your birthday if not.

The best Mexican is Ahora, but it's not much for atmosphere. Best Chinese is Ging Sing, and it's a nice enough place, but not overwhelmingly so. The East India Company is good food in a good place, if you like Indian. They're quite nice in dealing with birthday parties, too.

Al's Steak House on Elgin does a decent job.

Pub Italia is a nice place to stop in after your main meal.

Answer 5

the livery tavern

Big Daddy's Crab Shack & Oyster Bar
