fauna is about the things we love: eating and drinking with friends and family in a fun space. Our menu is seasonally driven and we support local farmers and producers wherever possible. We love the neighborhood and the space and are so happy to be open in Centretown.


We like to have fun in the kitchen. We serve small plates so you can try more than one dish. We use local ingredients wherever possible. We’re inspired by where we live, places we’ve been and things we’d like to do.

    Incredible tasting menu with wine pairings for Valentine's Day! A local gem and our go to date night venue. Service is sublime and food is delicious.

    Wonderful Valentine’s dinner experiences. The set V menu is well designed and the dishes are well presented. The wine pairings go along with the dishes. Service is superb. The atmosphere is cozy and chill. Highly recommended.

    Great food and service - prices were reasonable for this level of a - let’s say more “casual” - fine dining experience! I had a phenomenal cocktail and the shrimp toast was super delicious and memorable!

    Everything was excellent. My vodka negroni was one of the best. My wife's gluten-free options were addressed to her great satisfaction. The octopus was grilled to perfection and fabulous never-heard-of veggies. Would be proud to bring my Montreal frieds to Fauna anytime.
