Hintonburg Restaurants

Espetacular! The Best of Ottawa! And VITOR served us very well and raised the level of our dinner. We will be back!

We chose vegan versions of the two tapas and of one main course. Each dish was unique in flavor combinations that were harmoniously balanced for the dish. One was more like a fresh veggie salad the other more interesting stews. The sauces were so delicious that we were happy when we were offered freshly baked small rolls to "clean the plates". All in all a great experience.

What a perfect spot for a cozy date night! When we first walked in, the noise level surprised me a bit, but once seated in our corner booth, the ambiance was spot on. Whether it was luck or because I marked "date" on the reservation, the booth was ideal—quiet enough for conversation, and we loved not having a table between us. We decided to focus on wine and appetizers, which was a good choice since the portions are on the smaller side. The flavors and presentation more than made up for it, though! We tried the shrimp cocktail, the summer salad with stracciatella, and the crispy pork with fries. As someone with celiac, I was impressed by the variety of gluten-free options, and they even had a dedicated fryer for the fries, which was a huge plus. To top it off, we shared the flourless chocolate cake—one of the best gluten-free desserts I’ve ever had! The wine-by-the-glass options were limited, but as expected for a place focused on full bottles. I’m excited to return with a wine-loving group to explore a few of the bottles. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique and intimate night out!

I literally broke my foot walking to North and Navy but really didn’t want to miss out on this exceptional spot. The staff took amazing care of me and sent us off with a dessert on the house for our anniversary.

Great food and service. Lovely patio too. Small menu but very nice.
