About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

With a name that means "cozy or nice atmosphere, but also belonging and general togetherness," gezellig invites guests to experience an elegant menu of local, seasonal cuisine using french techniques in a casual and welcoming environment. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, gezellig prepares each menu item using high-quality ingredients purchased locally. On the menu are items such as seared scallops, braised beef shortibs, potato gnocchi, beef tartare, duck breast, and wild-caught lingcod. Our classic butterfinger for dessert is a staple that has been on our menu since opening in 2012

5 of us went for a ladies night out. In the reservation I had mentioned it was for a birthday celebration for 3 of them. The server was absolutely fantastic. She was attentive and patient with our questions. No problem with any allergy substitutions or requests (some of us wanted the meat from one item but the sides from another... absolutely no problem). Food was hot and the waitress was attentive to empty wine glasses. While most ordered dessert, they still brought out a piece of cake with 3 candles without a reminder other than in the online reservation. We had a wonderful night and will definitely be back.

This restaurant provided succulent and very well presented meals which my family loved. The waiters were attentive to details and were very quick to provide our orders. We did not however feel rushed before the next order arrived. It was an overall excellent experience. We will be back in the near future.

I strongly recommend this place, especially if you want to catch up with your friends or go on a date. Even though the two plates are small, it's enough food for one person. I STRONGLY recommend the banana French toast bread. It's definitely delicious!
