Best Contemporary Canadian Restaurants in Carp

We arrived for our reservation and we’re met and sat right away, the service was absolutely excellent and the food matched. This is our second time at Next for Sunday Brunch, we have now decided we would like to reserve for an evening dinner …… We would recommend this restaurant to all willing to try something a little bit different and a time that is so enjoyable.

I went out for my anniversary and it was definitely worth it. The food was topnotch and my server Sydney made the evening felt special with her excellent service. The atmosphere was great and I'm definitely going back.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Beckta From start to finish, our experience at Beckta was nothing short of amazing. The service was impeccable—though we unfortunately forgot the name of our waitress, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. We opted for the menu dégustation, and every course was a masterpiece. The flavors were expertly balanced, the ingredients fresh and thoughtfully chosen, and each plate was presented beautifully, showcasing the culinary artistry that makes Beckta stand out. A true highlight of the meal was the blue cheese dessert—an absolute wow factor! It was a bold yet perfectly executed creation by the pastry chef, demonstrating incredible skill and thoughtfulness in its composition. Beyond the food, the ambiance was intimate and inviting, striking the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. It’s clear that Beckta is committed to delivering not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for a top-tier restaurant in Ottawa, Beckta is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

Gezellig was outstanding on this Valentine's Day lunch. It was busy as one would expect on Valentine's Day, but the hostess and serving staff and kitchen were up to the challenge. I love the two features to choose from option for lunch. They change the offerings from time to time. The Radicchio Salad and Ricotta Gnudi were great and my friend had the Artisanal cheeses which were also great. The sun was streaming in the windows. Service was excellent. It was a treat.

Great all round. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, food and overall experience.
