This was second Whalesbone experience, & first time at the Bank street location. This is a cozy, intimate spot, perfectly paired with cold weather, warm sweaters, & comfort food. I was craving oysters & they did not disappoint, we added the scallops as well. Dinner was light & luxurious, the clam chowder is silky & filling, & the catch of the day was fish from Miramichi with large white fava beans. Incredible food. Our server was enthusiastic about the food, I love when food is presented & described with passion, it makes me feel sacred, like art.View more

Undoubtedly, the Bank Street WhalesBone in Ottawa stands out as the finest restaurant in the city. With exceptional service & impeccable food, the bone marrow, scallops, oysters, daily fish, beef short rib, & farmer's veg were genuinely the best dishes I've ever experienced.View more
