Between the central locale afforded by its gracious home in the landmark Lord Elgin Hotel, a warm and yet contemporary ambience, a locally sourced menu and a casual-to-sophisticated stocked cellar, Forty-One has become one of Ottawa’s top new restaurants.

Named Forty-One in recognition of the year, 1941, that the Lord Elgin was built, the restaurant features a modern environment and classic menu that is a perfect match for connecting with new and familiar faces. Guests are able to relax in the inviting lounge with flat screen TVs and large windows overlooking Elgin Street or enjoy an intimate dinner or a group get together in the dining area. With a capacity of close to 150, the restaurant features booths and banquette seating to allow flexibility to accommodate guest needs whether they are popping in for lunch, a quick after-work cool-down, a pre-theatre warm-up or an evening night cap. Forty-One also includes a private dining room for up to 30 guests.

Our dinner was on Valentine’s Day, so of course it was busy. However, our server was rough with the plates but nice overall. The space was tight, but it was nice that they had some live jazz. The food was very good and reasonably priced.

Excellent service, cocktails , and appetizers in this upscale setting in the beautiful Lord Elgin hotel was a perfect to start to our night out for a concert at the National Arts Centre just across the street. The mushroom toast was delicious and the egg roll bites were fun.
