The 24 Essential Restaurants in Ottawa

"Husband-and-wife duo Marc Dorion and Lori Wojcik’s sister restaurants Town and Citizen are really two fine dining restaurants in one; the spaces, around the corner from each other, share a kitchen and menu. In both spots, the couple serve tasty, approachable, European-inspired food with the help of a knowledgeable staff. Hit dishes include seafood bouillabaisse, roast chicken with house-made Boursin, and the show-stopper ricotta-stuffed meatballs, but you really can’t go wrong with anything. The pandemic-era bottle shop inside Town is still going strong, selling hip wines, beers, and spirits." - Joel Balsam, Tim Forster, Eater Staff
