Service was excellent, atmosphere is lovely, cocktails delicious (need to go back to sample them all!), my main was delicious and beautifully plated, the desserts (I had one and sampled two others in my group) were very good but not amazing, but then I’m not celiac so I may have noticed differences in taste and texture compared to gluten-containing equivalents. Overall, I would definitely go back for drinks, apps and dinner, but I might pass on dessert or go down the street for a gelato to spread the local business support around. VIV is a great option for anyone who can’t have gluten but also a delicious and fun option for anyone who likes a nice cocktail and delicious, thoughtfully prepared food. Nice wine list too.

We had a terrible experience at Del Piacete over the italian week weekend. Our waitress was unprofessional, yawning while taking our order and never checking on us. Despite arriving before other customers, we waited 50 minutes for our food while watching others get served first.
Both of our pizzas had a couple mussels that smelled and tasted absolutely rotten. Beyond this serious food safety issue, my gluten-free pizza was also completely undercooked. When I complained, the waitress said reheating it might burn it so she gave me the option of either burned or undercooked. The chef explained they use new rice-based GF dough that “doesn’t cook well” - even after returning it to the oven, it remained inedible.
To their credit, they removed the undercooked pizza from our bill when I asked not to pay for it. However, the restaurant feels dated with sticky tables, and the high prices don’t match the poor service and atmosphere. This was my second visit and will definitely be my last.
My first time at this restaurant
I have been driving by for so many years I decided to go in today and try some butter chicken, I also ordered matar paneer and some garlic Naan. I have been to at least 5 Indian restaurants in ottawa, every restaurant has a slightly different flavor on there food
Each one has a different take on there Naan bread, but all were very good, so was the butter chicken
The butter chicken at Indian express was excellent
I noticed that the chicken was very tender. all the other restaurants I have been to the chicken was dry. The Naan bread was very good, nice and fresh loved it, no complaints here. The matar paneer was also fresh and flavourful, the rice was also fresh. Indian express also makes fresh deserts on site
I tried a square with Mango and coconut WOW WHAT FLAVOR, They also had a gluten free chickpea flour ball with Cashews WOW the flavours just keep on coming
Had to get an assortment of desserts oh so good
After one bite you will know what I mean.
Well I have no complaints on the food at Indian Express, service was good, very happy will be back.
We got in the restaurant very late on a busy night with no reservation, but the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Lots of options available (including vegetarian and gluten free). Amazing food, environment and staff.
My partner and I celebrated our 9th anniversary at Perch and had an absolutely spectacular time. We loved the ambiance and how well thought out each dish and drink pairing was. We were also extremely appreciative of how they were able to modify parts of the menu for my partner's gluten intolerance. The staff were also so lovely to talk to and were clearly passionate about what they were doing.
Thank you so much to Perch for making our evening so special! We'll be back! 💕
What an amazing place to get takeout pizza from! They say a 1 m piece feeds four, I think it feeds six to eight! The hot honey is amazing, and the Cesar salad was the best I’ve had in Ottawa (they use anchovies in the sauce and there’s no bacon bits, and you can get gluten free, so it’s halal, pescatarian and can be gluten free, amazing!).
As a passionate foodie, I can confidently say that this establishment stands unparalleled in all of Ontario and Quebec for its exceptional accommodation and attention to detail.
Being allergic to meat and gluten intolerant often makes dining out a daunting task, but the meticulous attention and care provided here transformed my experience into a delightful indulgence. Everything was delicious. From the appetizer to dessert.
From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. The valet and doorman extended a warm and gracious welcome, setting the tone for the evening. The host greeted us with genuine hospitality, and our servers were not only courteous but also remarkably attentive to our needs. Their professionalism and dedication elevated our dining experience to one of sheer luxury.
The ambiance exuded sophistication, and every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and elegance. It’s rare to find a place where inclusivity meets opulence so seamlessly. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit, this time with my entire family, to share in this extraordinary culinary haven. Thank you very much!
This place is small and intimate. The service and food were delicious. We are both gluten free and they were very accommodating. My husband had the filet mignon which just melted in your mouth. Very high quality meat. I had the cod dish that was nice and light and had great flavors. If they could add a gluten free desert to the menu that would be outstanding.
We have already recommended to several of our friends.
This has quickly become my favourite place to eat. The Chinese menu is amazing and is highly customizable. Vegan friendly, gluten free options, spicy or mild - you decide.
The service is incredible, the staff are warm and kind people who deserve your business. The decor is engaging and transportative. But the prices! So inexpensive! Everyone could eat here all the time!
And should. Go now.
Celiac friendly
