Fauna - Ottawa

Had dinner at Fauna last night. Had a bit of a trip up when our online reservations were made for 4 but came into the restaurant for 2. Doug and the other front of house staff deftly took care of this even though the place was completely packed. Once we sat down, we essentially ordered everything on the menu. Sablefish. The steak. The tuna crudo. The pork belly. The duck. Turkey Wing. Endive salad. Arancini. The carpaccio. The food was really really excellent. Perfectly prepared, flavorful, and wonderfully seasoned and plated. Our server Emily was also excellent and did a good job of taking care of us for the whole 3 and a half hours. This place is a gem and has a top 10 spot for me as one of Ottawa's best restaurants. Excellent.

I found this place the Canadas100Best website and I reached out to book an evening with a personalized menu with wine pairing. Not only did I get quick replies from two of their staff, they were extremely accommodating and went over and above to prepare unique dishes that tantalize the senses. The service was delightful and the food was exquisite. Fauna sets the bar really high for Ottawa and I really have to thank them for teaching my pallet a thing or two.

Whoever comes to Ottawa has to visit FAUNA. It is a full experience that one will never forget. Perfect atmosphere, magnificent food and just simply superb owner Ken. Whatever you choose from the menu will simply blow your mind. Perfect perfect perfect...

Went there for lunch with a few other people and we all left very satisfied! Service was friendly and quick and the food was delicious! Would love to go back and try the dinner menu. Highly recommend

First time here for lunch and it was an impressively reasonably priced meal (dinner can be dear). The lunch burger was as good as a burger can be based on 80 day aged striploin, simply amazing. Fauna continues to be my favorite restaurant.
