What's open for lunch?
Looking for a midday meal? We've got you covered
Since the end of the pandemic, it’s often been a challenge to get correct information as to which restaurants are in fact open during lunch hours.
Even visiting a restaurant's website to get accurate opening hours often leads to a dead end. In the last year I’ve wasted many hours driving only to find the restaurant closed. All that nonsense needed to be good for something so I thought I’d compile a list of proper restaurants that I know to be Open for Lunch.
Cantina Gia in the Glebe is an old world trattoria delivering top Italian dishes and house made pasta.
98 La La Noodle in the ByWard Market is one of my favorite Asian noodle eateries in Ottawa. Home cooking with bold flavours and big portions for little money.
Kitchen Maroo is a top Korean dining destination with a classically trained chef/owner at the helm. You must have their shrimp rolls. New lunch hours are from Friday to Sunday.
Table Sodam is another great Korean eatery re-opened again for dine-in lunch.
Centertown Donair and Pizza may offer the fluffy and heavy pizzas that locals love but I go for the Halifax donair that brings back so many pleasant memories of my trips to the east coast.
Pelican Seafood as Ottawans have long known, offers terrific seafood at fair prices and they’re open for lunch. Just ensure you make a reservation.
Ramen Isshin is a welcome addition to the Glebe and represents one of the best ramen restaurants in the city.
Jinsei Ramen is the newest ramen eatery on the Ottawa map and is the other really fine ramen restaurant you need to visit.
Tamis Cafe offers beautifully made Filipino home cooking that will keep you coming back and their spring rolls are one of Ottawa’s best.
Del Piacere on Preston has repeatedly demonstrated to me that not only are they a fine choice for Neapolitan style pizza but for Italian fare of all sorts at good prices.
