Bar Lupulus – Elevated Flavours in a Cozy Corner of Wellington West Had a wonderful evening at Bar Lupulus. The meal was creative and full of flavour—each dish offered a unique twist and was beautifully presented. While it’s a little on the pricier side, it never felt over the top—well worth it for the quality and experience. The service was excellent: warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about both the food and the impressive drink list. The only downside was that it was a little noisy, especially as the evening went on—something to keep in mind if you’re hoping for quiet conversation. Still, the lively atmosphere added to the charm, and we’d absolutely return for another night of bold, delicious food in a stylish, bustling spot.

I had a great overall experience here. The food, drinks, service and ambiance were amazing. For food we had the bison strip loin which was intricate, rich, and detailed. We also ordered the chocolate mouse which was also so unique. Every bite was something to be savoured. For drinks, we had a cocktail and a couple of beers. They have some great selection on tap. Can’t wait to be back.

Tout était absolument délicieux ! La nourriture et les vins étaient excellents, le service attentionné et irréprochable. Nous avons adoré la terrasse privée à l’arrière, pleine de charme. Une superbe expérience, j’y retournerai sans hésiter.

I love this restaurant - one of the best value for money in Ottawa. The chef is so creative with each dish, making it not only delicious but very unique. The dishes are just as good if not better than many high end restaurants but at a much better price. The service is also amazing. Highly recommend!

Once again we enjoyed your excellent food and wines and beer. and top notch service It was so nice to be recognized and greeted warmly on our return. Our guests were from Montreal and we wanted to demonstrated that Ottawa could match Montreal's bistro scene. You did the job admirably. The main challenge for us is the high levels of ambient noise, it makes conversation difficult. With luck the weather will allow us to try the outdoor patio for our next visit.
