Restaurants near National Arts Centre

Great meal and service. Nice ambiance and the lighting was too low.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience when celebrating our three year anniversary. Our food was amazing, wait staff was lovely and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Enjoyed the lunch with my 95 year old parents…. We were all comfortable and enjoyed the time at Joey’s

We chose Raphael’s for our wedding anniversary. I can say it was an excellent choice! The service was great, attentive, but not hovering, which allowed the food to be the star of the show. We started with the duck confit small plate and it was delicious. As it was our first time at Raphael’s, we wanted to split two dishes to get the most from experience and got the suckling pig and the tenderloin stir fry. Both were amazing and would order either again in a heartbeat. The chef truly knows how to enhance the dishes with the most perfectly crafted sauces and vegetable/salads. They kindly started our experience with flutes of champagne on the house and a lovely pepper soup amuse bouche which were great and appreciated. Must try the in house mocktail, never tasted anything quite like it, it is a purple spiced ambrosia! We have eaten at most of the must try restaurants in town and this is the first time my husband (a picky eater) has said, this is delicious! The ONLY detraction was the size of the round table vis a vis the size of the main dish serving plates. It was a little crowded and we will request a larger table or at least a square one next time. That being said the table is the perfect size when ordering the small plates. Amazing experience!

We had a lovely table in the restaurant section! The food tasted amazing. Next time I would try the mussels… the table next to us ordered them and they looked so good. The food and drink came at the same time which I always find odd when drinks don’t come first.
