Great experience! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the service: friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Definitely a place I’d come back.

Doesn't live up to its reputation. Food not particularly good and too salty. For the price tag, very disappointing.

Amazing place for fine dining with some of the best chefs in the Ottawa–Gatineau region. The ambiance is amazing and the overall experience is excellent. ***The only thing to keep in mind is to be extra careful if you have allergies. Make sure to mention them multiple times, especially when your plate arrives.***

Delightful wintery evening for my husband and I at L'Oree du Bois. All four courses were delicious and impeccably presented; appropriate portions and superb ingredient combinations. The service was friendly and respectful of us enjoying an intimate dinner together. It provided the perfect environment for us to talk quietly and feel the calmness of the room. We will be back.

We made a reservation for the sugar season brunch. The best brunch and such warm and welcoming service on a cold winter day!

Food and service was excellent. First time back since COVID which took the previous chef. Their new chef kept some old favorites on the menu. Will definitely be back.

My favourite restaurante in the NCR! Impecable food and service, the chef is fantastic and so is the staff. They are attentive and accomodating, making it my go-to place anytime I have guess from outta town or want to mark a special occasion. I recently celebrated my birthday and my engagement there and it was memorable.

We went on Valentine's Day. There was only the special menu available, and it was not well advertised prior to booking and arrival. The cold entree was delicious - a salad with smoked duck. The hot entree was also memorable- scallops with bacon and artichoke chips. On the other hand, the filet mignon was bland and the soup was minimal.
