Bar Laurel - Ottawa

5 stars are not enough to reflect the amazing evening we had last night! We chose Bar Laurel as our wedding venue and was exactly what we wanted; amazing service, food was absolutely delicious and cake to die for. Thank you Eryn and all your staff, thanks Stefanie for such an amazing wedding cake, and to all the lovely cooks that made everyone's tummies happy : Ry and Ale

Best meal I have eaten in Ottawa. Fresh, inventive and beautifully flavoured. The staff were friendly, well versed in the tapas ingredients the bartender's Negroni is reason alone to walk through the doors. Everyone I have since spoken to about Bar Laurel already shares my sentiment.

What a wonderful discovery we came across this evening with Bar Laurel. It is a cozy, elegant venue perfect for date night or sharing a meal amongst friends. Personalized, knowledgeable and attentive service was given. Hand crafted cocktails were both intriguing and delicious. I personally sampled the Mule 2.0 ans was extremely please with the result. The menu offered a great selection of tapas which we gladly shared with the table. All small plates were tasty and well presented. Amongst our favorites, the ham croquettes, Brussels sprouts, pickled carrots salad and lamb merguez. The two unfortunate things of the evening, were due to the cold ambiant temperature and the fact that none of us had any room left for dessert... We all left satisfied with a full belly. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it. We will be back and share this culinary experience with more of our friends.

Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere and service! So excited this gem is minutes from my house. My new favourite in Hintonburg would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

I sat at the bar and enjoyed watching Gabriel prepare delicious cocktails with impressive precision. I highly recommend trying the Mule 2 for a spectacular burst of flavors! I also ordered a variety of tapas (my favorite being the Shishitos combined with Pan con tomate). The ambiance is hip yet quaint, making it a great place for a night out whether it's a first date, a 15-year wedding anniversary, or a 5 à 7 with friends!
