French restaurants in Ottawa

  1. A

    Le Cordon Bleu Bistro@Signatures

    This sensational dining experience, housed in a Tudor-style castle, is the on-site restaurant of the prestigious Cordon Bleu culinary school. Fear not, your meal won't be cooked by fumbling students; the à la carte dinners are prepared by the well-seasoned instructors and the weekday lunches are crafted by the graduating students. Award-winning menus feature some of Canada's finest harvests, and the lengthy wine list looks more like an encyclopedia.

    Brasserie Métropolitain

    This trendy hot spot puts a modern spin on the typical brasserie with a swirling zinc countertop, flamboyant fixtures and the subtle oompah-pah from a distant accordion – you'll feel like you're dining on the set of Moulin Rouge. 'Hill Hour' (4pm to 7pm on weekdays) buzzes with the spirited chatter of hot-blooded politicos as they down discounted drinks and $1 oysters.

    Chez Lucien

    Exposed burgundy brick, Sting playing on the free jukebox, butter-soaked escargot – somehow it all makes wonderful sense at Chez Lucien, one of Ottawa's favorite places to kick back in style.
