My bill came to $82 Canadian and got screwed when I gave them $100 American with no conversion so instead of getting a 20% tip they got 40% tip. Food was sparse. No credit card accepted but they do take debit card. Most places give a fair exchange on currency so we were disappointed.

Hello John, we dont do conversion on other currency cause we are a restaurant, not a Bank! I believe it is your task to get canadian dollar with your money when you visit somewhere. We decided to get rid of credit card to stop paying 3% fees to Visa and Mastercard…So we can leave the money in the business and hopefully stay open, this is all written on the first page of the menu. So, 1 star review cause we dont take credit cards and you didnt get enough changes for your american money ?

Got the porc tinga tacos w/fries, delicious, tasty, finger licking!! I got to say, a bit on the pricey side to similar tacos, worth the experience.

Very surprised. When I was going to paid, the waitress said they don’t accept credit cards. Only debit. Maybe because my accent I’m suspicious? Im a professional and have an excellent job. The food (just an“special” burger- they called the Philly) it’s ok, but very simple, just a burger with a few fries. There are so many restaurants there, choose another one.

We tried the first four items on their menu, and everything was delicious. Grilled cheese sandwich was top notch. For the beef tartare, I personally would have preferred it to be more finely chopped and smoother. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauces paired beautifully with the dishes and complemented them perfectly. The one important thing to know is that they don’t accept credit cards. In an age of digital payments, many of which are linked to credit cards, I think this is worth mentioning to guests upon arrival. Honestly, the sign above the kitchen isn’t very eye-catching, so it’s easy to miss.

Super tasty foods. Juicy and the flavors are to the next level. The spice compliments well to the bread and sauce. Fries is crunchy with herb flavor. Super healthy meal I experienced.

I was in awe of the food and the incredible wine selection. Choosing Clandestin for lunch with a valued friend turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It was a hard decision choosing between the incredible offerings on the menu! The Pearl Harbour is divine and the season porc sandwich with rhubard blew us away.

If you have the opportunity to book a table at Clandestin just know that you are in for a unique treat. This restaurant is top 5 for me in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. The dishes are so unique it will leave you thinking, "How the hell did they come up with this deliciousness?!". Do yourself a favor, don't think, book a reservation NOW. You will NOT be disappointed.
