Gooney’s Sandwich Works offers an outstanding vegetarian sandwich that truly impressed me. Despite the photos looking a bit messy, the taste and quality of the sandwich were excellent. The combination of fresh roasted mushrooms, cheddar cheese, and other wholesome ingredients made it not only delicious but also very healthy. This sandwich stands out as a great option for anyone looking for a nutritious and satisfying meal. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and the flavors are well balanced, making it a memorable vegetarian choice. I appreciate that Gooney’s focuses on quality and health, which is reflected in their menu options. The sandwich was filling without feeling heavy, which is perfect for a light yet nourishing lunch. I will definitely be ordering from Gooney’s again because the food quality exceeded my expectations. The friendly service and the variety of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices, make it a versatile spot for different dietary needs. I also recommend this place to others who want a tasty, healthy sandwich experience. Overall, Gooney’s Sandwich Works delivers on taste, health, and value. Their vegetarian sandwich is a standout item that I will happily return for and suggest to friends and family. If you’re looking for a fresh, flavorful, and wholesome sandwich, Gooney’s is my top choice in Ottawa. The combination of great ingredients and care in preparation makes it a must-try for anyone who enjoys good food that’s also good for you.

Amazing! I was in town for work and of course being celiac, I need gluten free, and let me tell you there were no shortage of options! I got the Ahi tuna poke bowl and it was so good, I returned the next night for the exact same thing! Awesome & kknowledgeable staff, extremely fresh and delicious food! This will be a go-to spot for me for all future Ottawa trips!

Good gluten free tacos. Good allergy protocol knowledge. Seemed a little overwhelmed at half capacity.

The atmosphere here was contemporary chic as well as cozy with the low lighting. The only reason I rated it lower was because the seating was in between the bar and a small hallway, to the front of the restaurant which made our table a high traffic area (it was a Thursday night with reservation) Oysters (5/5): Biggest oysters I’ve seen in Ottawa for $3.50 a piece! Steak Frites (3/5): quite a thick piece of steak that was great overall. I found the knife dull and wish I had more of the Demi glace. White 6 Pizza (4/5): Made gluten free!

It was my anniversary. I emailed several top restaurants in the city. I had 5 criteria. I chose Beckta because of their quick and thorough response to my inquiry/criteria. I was not disappointed in my chose. We had a 5 course blind tasting omnivore menu (excluding dessert, of course) with wine pairing, and all gluten free, as requested. We had tuna, scallops, boar and duck. What a great selection by the Chef. The ambiance was great. Exactly what I was looking for with plush seats (old school). I look forward to returning.

Food was good . Salmon was done excellent. But the service was extremely poor. The only person who really was keen to make our dinner good was the bartender. The waitresses - one was older lady , the other was young one - never brought what was asked . I had to go to the bar to inquire about our order . The older waitress ignored us like were were some kind of beggers from the street , even though we stayed at the hotel. The bartender went beyond his duties to get our order and bring us food. The chef and the barterner made sure my food was gluten free. I would give 5 stars for that.

My wife and I were lucky enough to be strolling by Riviera last night when we noticed the patio was unusually quiet. This place is typically packed. On a whim we stopped and had dinner. The service was very good. We started with a plate of fresh oysters and the best steak tartare I have ever had. It was served with homemade potato chips which suited my gluten intolerance perfectly. We each had a cocktail - mine a whiskey sour (impeccable) and my wife had 'La Dolce Vita' - an upscale nod to the Venetian spritz. For mains my wife had the lobster spaghetti, which she very much enjoyed. A very generous portion of lobster. I had the halibut with morels, fava beans in a wonderful sauce. We each had a glass of wine. The Steak Frites seemed to be a popular dish on the tables around us - though neither of us regretted our selection we both commented that this would have been a great option. A beautiful dinner, with spectacular service. I only give the atmosphere 3 stars due to us being on the patio. Thank you, Riviera. We will definitely be back!

This is one of my 'go to' places downtown. Always a great place to eat, drink and be merry with friends and family. Warm atmosphere. Friendly and helpful efficient staff. Good food and now the menu gives the caloric value of each item. Very helpful for diet conscious folks. I was pleased to find many vegetarian and gluten free options. Great beer selection on tap.

Gluten free - The first sushi restaurant in Ottawa that I've been to that has gluten free soy sauce and is prepared to answer your questions. I had an avocado role, shared an Ume plate, and had the grilled salmon. All were very good. The service was friendly but could have been a little quicker but overall I really enjoyed the experience.

I was so excited to see a new Quiznos location pop up on Uber eats and then sad that I didn't see an option for the gluten free bread that I know they carry. I figured it was worth a shot to call the restaurant and check if it could be done for delivery and they did not disappoint! Without hesitation he took my name and assured me he'd make sure I got the gluten free option 😊 It was the best Quiznos sub I've had in years!

Great gluten free options. The Taco salad is particularly good. The staff are nice. It's located in the "new" and beautiful food court called Queen Street Fare. Relax by the waterfall while you enjoy your tasty organic lunch. A little pricey but, when you're done, you'll find yourself saying "that was so good!".

Bar Robo is such a cool little hangout. I love their food (and they have gluten-free options) and they have a really interesting drink menu. Sometimes there's live music here too which is fun. The decor is really chill, I love the dim lighting and overall ambiance.
