I wish I could give a higher rating out of 5! Impeccable service and delicious food! Thank you Vincent for making my second time, and my boyfriends 1st time a memorable night we will remember forever! I have yet to experience this level of service...truly incredible. We got this amazing freshly baked bread accompanied by a tasty whipped butter. We ordered from the 4 course option, which you are also able to choose a la carte from the same menu. We each got a soup, n appetizer, main, a dessert and a coffee or tea for 75$ each along with a recommendation of a bottle of wine from Vincent which was 49$. We got the dessert as takeaway. Can't wait to try the homemade salad dressing! We will definitely be back! For two 2 appetizers and two mains is plenty. We wanted to experience the full option and the soup and desert were phenomenal! There is a nice patio and wish I thought to reserve that instead but the inside is nice and it's well isolated so even with a lot of people it's not super loud! Merci to Vincent, the fabulous chef and the rest of the staff who helped answer questions and make sure our water was always full!
This is our 2nd visit and we had a wonderful time. Food was amazing as well as the wine pairings. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The beef my partner had was slightly over-cooked he asked for medium-well unexpectedly the staff brought it back to the kitchen and 15 minutes later served a perfectly cooked one for him. At the end of the meal, the manager gave us their homemade salad dressing as a gift and apologised for the overcooked beef. We were really surprised and pleased with all the arrangements and will definitely come back very soon!
Lovely ambiance, great presentation! L’Oree du Bois has been a staple on the Ottawa Gatineau food scene for almost 4 decades, recently placing 4th nationally on the TripAdvisor’s best fine dining restaurants. It is located on the edge of Gatineau park, nestled in an abundance of greeneries. A lovely garden welcomes guests, followed by a charming century old farmhouse, promoting that warm and cozy feeling. I have not been here for many years, and found the large patio and outdoor grill welcoming! The interior decor has also gone through an update, more simplistic and streamlined to suit the more modern clientele. The table d’hôtel menu is excellent, providing many options although not many vegetarian dishes, and for a small added fee, you can upgrade some dishes to include more expensive options such as pan seared foie gras. The dishes are well prepared, cooked to the right doneness and excellent presentation. What came SLIGHTLY below was the taste, a lot of salt, gravy and heavy cream were used, overpowering the fresh ingredients. Would like to see the new chef making dishes that emphasize the taste of the food itself. Staff was really nice and accommodating, although they probably need more training to be more attentive, I waited for more than 15 minute for my paired wine to accompany the main dish. Very small issue, the waitress was otherwise super polite. There seemed to have a shortage of staff, just like every other service organization post pandemic. People need to be more patient now. Wine pairing was superbly prepared, very satisfied! The venue is beautiful all year round, we’ll definitely be back for more delicious food!
Just a short jaunt from Ottawa we were treated to an excellent experience where the only thing that surpassed the service was the food. Please accept my apologies as this review cannot due justice to the restaurant. The atmosphere is charming, rustic, warm and welcoming. One will not get the feeling of it being precocious. It is a set menu...with options...where for $75 person you can really, really enjoy a four course meal that includes a soup, appetizer, a main dish, and desert. An accommodation was made for Mom as she would not be able to appreciate a four course meal so the restaurant charged by the plate. I am gluten sensitive...and was pleasantly surprised at the availability/flexibility with just a tweak or two to satsfy my every whim including GF buns right out of the oven. I will dare to say this is no doubt due to recipes being made from scratch, in other words avoiding prepackaged items in the meal prep. Our server was very knowledgeable of the food, offering suggestions for different selections in order to have the best taste experience, as well as the wine pairings. Dinner was for five...celebrating Mom's 89th birthday, with cocktails and two bottles of wine worked out to about $120 per person before gratuity. We will be back! Of special note there is outside seating available. Wheelchair accessibility: The only issue is possibly the gravel in the parking lot and near the entrance. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options galore
We had an amazing dinner. Service was quick and friendly. The food was exceptional. I had duck confit with duchess potatoes and local asparagus. My partner had chicken with Israeli couscous and a roasted red pepper sauce. We had a delicious non-alcoholic sparkling apple cider. The ginger rhubarb tart for dessert was excellent. The dining room is wheelchair accessible and parts of the patio were as well. The bathrooms are also accessible. The entrance path is gravel which can be difficult to navigate but otherwise quite accessible.
Follow my food blog on Instagram for restaurant reviews: @mimi.munches! Ever since I've heard about this restaurant, first from my work, and second from food bloggers, I've put it on the top of my list! So I was super stoked to be able to go! Read below to find out about my experience. You definitely have to try their Table d'Hote menu! It is $65 and you are able to get: a soup, appetizer, specialty entrée, a dessert, coffee/tea. For the soups, I would have tried the carmelized onion soup +$3, but at the time of the booking about 8:30pm, they were out of the soups; so this will need to be for next time! Appetizers: Their homemade charcuterie trio was a great start to a satisfying meal. Theirs had chicken liver mousse, pork and blueberry rillettes and caramelized onions terrine with marinated vegetables. I also tried the Mushroom from Le Coprin farms in a puff pastry, cream sauce +4: As the Specialties entrées, I tried red deer medallions for the first time +$6.50: this one came with variations of squash, and elderberry gastrique. The meat was very tender, although very light in taste - if you prefer richier tasting meats, I would suggest the duck confit. Of course, the Duck confit had to be tried as well - it came with glazed vegetables and duchess potatoes, and caramelized onion sauce. Note that for the two above specialties, pan-seared foie gras was added to both +$9 per piece. This was SO indulgent and melt in your mouth. Highly recommend to treat yourself and add it on! For dessert, their local cheese platter with focaccia from Roberto Pizza +$4 was a savoury option, and the pumpkin cheesecake with homemade granola was a nicely rich but also light option to end the meal. I was so stuffed that keeping up with the wine pairings was tough and I fell behind - not usually the case! I also was able to try the Wine and food pairing, which went really well with the food! You get an apéro 4oz, a white wine with the appetizer I chose Alsace Riesling, Joseph Beck, a red to go with the specialties entrée - I LOVED the cotes de bourg, Chateau Bujan, and lastly, a dessert wine Cadillac, Chateaux Peybrun. Not only is the food spectacular, but the atmosphere is also super cozy as the restaurant is tucked away in a house filled with wood accents and art. As I dined, it was snowing heavily outside which made it feel all the more cozy. However, I would recommend choosing an earlier seating to give ample time to get back home safely, depending on the weather it was heavy snow the night I went!
I really like the cozy vibe. We went with the 4 course meal and the wine pairing. Our server was super knowledgeable with the wine. His recommendation on the veal was my favorite! Top with foie gras was a game changer.
What a wonderful restaurant! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner at L'Orée du Bois last night. So much so that I forgot to take more photos of this delicious experience. All of the staff were friendly and our waiter was exceptional! I'm sorry, we didn't catch his name, but with an unassuming but thoughtful approach, he made perfect wine pairings to each of our selections in the table d'hôte, explaining the specifics of how they complimented each other. Most highly recommended. Merci beacoup!
I’ve been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time and it was a really great experience. I had the delicious Foie gras as the appetizer. For main I had the duck confit which was amazing. My wife had the champignons as appetizer with a perfectly served rare Filet Mignon. Great service by Gabriel that explained well the menu and offered great suggestions. Will definitely come back.
First time at this restaurant and it was the most delicious food I've had in the city. The service was absolutely amazing Arianna was a great waitress and we were not rushed. The timing of all the courses was perfect so we did not feel like we over ate. I had the carmalized onion soup, the mix salad and the boar chop. Absolutely amazing!! For dessert I had to go with the lava cake. Thank you for making our first time here a great experience.
