ALICE

Unfortunately, for me, this dining experience did not live up to the hype. The menu started with an outstanding bread and butter which I really loved. While the rest of the dishes had some tasty and creative elements, something about their flavour profiles did not match my palate. Earthy flavours and many charred elements added a strong underlying bitterness that I did not enjoy. Unnecessarily sweet radish chunks brought down a dish I otherwise really liked and the theatrical smoked tofu disappointed the most by tasting of very little to me. It was delightful to have the chefs present the dishes and see the pride in what they had created. Aside from that though, the service was cold and autonomous and it did not feel like I was particularly welcomed or that they cared if I was enjoying the meal. My experience aligns completely with the other 3-star reviews here. I'm sure there are people that would really enjoy a dining experience at Alice, but I cannot think of anyone that I would personally recommend it to. Vegetarian options: All vegetarian. Not vegan.

We had a great experience at Alice. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We highly recommend trying the wine pairing to get the most out of the experience. Each course will have your taste buds exploding and wanting more. Alice is a little gem in Ottawa that everyone needs to experience at least once.Food: 5/5

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The service was nice and attentive and they went above and beyond to accommodate one of our dining requests. The skill and effort that goes into making the various ingredients used in the dishes is phenomenal and absolutely something to be applauded. I recommended trying their fermented juices as it’s quite unique to the standard wine offerings. Highly recommended memorable experience

Incredible experience. Everything about the 8 plate tasting menu was designed to lead you through an experience you won't soon forget. If you're looking to do something on a special occasion, look no further! The best plant based foods I've ever had.

One of the best tasting menus in Canada!The attention to detail - flavour, texture, service is michelin calibre. Chef Kim has masterfully crafted a menu connecting diners to the produce of the season. Her precision crafting every element of the dish results in the perfect taste. The service is seamless but also makes you feel so comfortable. Cannot wait to visit again!

Amazing food, even better experience. I am so glad I made the decision to experience Alice. As a vegan, it’s hard to find food that’s amazing quality and unique in its taste. The flavour combinations were incredible and the textures were beautiful. I highly recommend for an unforgettable night!!!

Just a perfect blind tasting experience. The service was super attentive and kind with each dish and wine pairing being explained to us as they were presented. The dishes themselves were so delicious and inventive. Beyond any expectations I had. Looking forward to seeing and trying their future menus as they change with the seasons.

While I appreciate the creativity, effort and skill of each dish, I felt there was room for improvement in the dining experience. For one, we were not asked if we enjoyed the food after each course, which was my experience at Michelin star restaurants. I also think some more instruction suggesting how to enjoy the dishes would have been helpful for the tempeh. Second, I was not the target audience of some of the courses. I expected each course to taste mindblowing but there were only some standouts that I would want more of. Some textures were not for me. The bee pollen butter with rye was amazing, as was the maitake & kelp, silken tofu, and blackened pear & liquorice. The atmosphere and presentation were both 10/10. Overall had a very fun experience here. However the beverage pairings seems overpriced.

This was a very unique experience. I loved everything from beginning to end. Food was exquisite , and we loved how everything was dished. We tasted so many flavours in every dish, it was heavenly. Service was awesome and we loved how everyone worked as a real team . Definitely recommend if you’re celebrating an special occasion, beautiful place.

This is the third time we've dined at Alice, and I think it was my favourite of the tasting menus we've tried. As always, the food was mind blowingly good, and the service was excellent. It's always one of the most expensive meals we have all year, but it's totally worth it. Can't wait for our next visit. The multilayered ice cream dessert landscape pictured was definitely a highlight.
