Reviews For Norca Restaurant & Bar

First time at Norca, was always intrigued from the view from the street below. Nathan was my bartender and he was fantastic!!! I had 2 cocktails, oysters and a glass of wine. The ambiance is so beautiful in Norca, next time i come back i will definitely order more off the menu. There was a slight issue with my oysters but Nathan fixed it asap. Love it , highly recommended!!

We went to Norca for our Wedding Anniversary celebration while staying at Le Germain in Ottawa. It was wonderful. Service was great and food was delectable. I took a few pictures but missed a few dishes because we were too excited to try them and forgot to take pictures. We will be returning! We have had breakfast here twice as well and it has not disappointed.

What a perfect date night! Thank you to the team for a delicious culinary experience. From the moment we walked in to the time we walked out. Everything was perfect: the food, the meeting with the chef, and the mood of the space. A perfect evening!

Very nice restaurant within the Le Germain Ottawa hotel. Went for the breakfast buffet only, none of the dinner options looked appetizing or tempted me. Breakfast buffet options are very good for a fair price. Would have loved that the chef would make the eggs to my liking instead of scrambled eggs like everywhere else.

We had the Valentine’s Day dinner menu - as vegetarians, the selection was great. Everything was delicious and I love the cheese plate option for dessert. Portion size was great, we definitely left full. Presentation of the food was lovely and so was the general ambiance, there was a live pianist and cellist. Service was fantastic - the pace at which courses were delivered was good, we didn’t feel rushed at all, and the wait staff were really attentive and nice. We received an additional complementary glass of champagne each :) will come back as soon as the regular menu includes some more veg options (currently only 2/6 apps and 1/8 main course are veg).

Stepped in for some drinks and appetizers and was so pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere as well as the great service I received. Nathan, our bartender, was so attentive and made every cocktail to perfection. The cocktails here are imaginative and delectable. Without a doubt I’ll be back! So glad to have found a new date spot!

Where posh meets approachable, Norca has a great vibe, excellent service, a great bartender and a phenomenal chef. Our lunch was excellent and they handled food allergies wonderfully.

Fabulous dining experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the menu different from others in a good way! Although it was quiet when we visited there was a good vibe. Decent wine menu and selection of cocktails. Portion sizes were just right and the food was very tasty.
