About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

With a name that means "cozy or nice atmosphere, but also belonging and general togetherness," gezellig invites guests to experience an elegant menu of local, seasonal cuisine using french techniques in a casual and welcoming environment. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, gezellig prepares each menu item using high-quality ingredients purchased locally. On the menu are items such as seared scallops, braised beef shortibs, potato gnocchi, beef tartare, duck breast, and wild-caught lingcod. Our classic butterfinger for dessert is a staple that has been on our menu since opening in 2012

Sommes allés pour le lunch. C'était très bon, service en Français, cordial, relaxe. Focusés sur le client pour donner au client une belle expérience agréable. Accessible aux personnes en chaises roulantes. Personnel très aidant. Hamburger savoureux de qualité, frites chaudes et croustillantes et Le dessert biscuit-gâteau était fabuleux avec un excellent capuccino ! Merci !

We had a great evening out at Gezellig. This is our 4th visit over the years. The menu was lovely with many options. Our server assisted us in wine selection and we were not disappointed. I had the duck which was amazing and my husband says the salmon was delicious. Gezellig is tried and true for us and we will come again.

Our braised short rib was dry and chewy. Everything else was divine. We really enjoyed our evening. Thanks. Just thought you should know.

My sisters and I took my mom here for her 55th birthday. It was the first time for all of us and we were blown away by the hospitality, the service, and the delicious food. The staff seemed to work together and everyone took turns helping us choose items, topping up our wine, and bringing our dessert with a little celebratory candle. My water was always full, plates appeared and were cleared in a timely fashion, and they didn’t mind that we were taking our time and enjoying. The staff is courteous, polite, and engaged. The food is magnificent and evidently prepared with love and care. Table settings are laid out meticulously. Glasses and cutlery are polished. The lighting is gentle. They have struck a perfect balance :)
