Tavern On The Falls - Ottawa

The view is absolutely stunning, and the patio is fantastic. The service is also quite good. However, the menu is lacking considering the excellent location.

As for parking, there’s plenty of free parking available across Sussex, and all the perpendicular streets offer options too—just a short walk away. The views are unmatched; you won't find another spot with such a great vantage point of Rideau Falls, Lac Leamy Park, and the Outaouais River. Given its elevation, the view of the falls is even more impressive. The sunset is perfectly positioned, allowing you to bask in the warm orange glow without worrying about getting sunburned. The bathrooms are clean and chic, which may sound trivial, but a tidy restroom reflects positively on the establishment. After dark, they uncover the table fire pits, providing a cozy warmth for guests to enjoy. Plus, there's live music a few nights a week—check their Facebook or Instagram for updated schedules. However, the service needs improvement. Our server frequently walked by without acknowledging our orders, and since we were a group of 10 dining between 6 PM and 9:30 PM, it took a long time to get assistance. Despite this drawback, the unparalleled location and incredible views make it an experience worth having!

Stunning sunsets, a view of the falls, and a wonderful atmosphere make this place special. The menu has been updated this year, and I think it’s an improvement, offering more food options than before. The seating areas have also seen some nice upgrades. It's a great spot for a date night, post-work drinks, or just hanging out with friends. Just be aware that drinks can be a bit pricey. Check out my pictures for the full menu!

This is an amazing place with friendly staff but the VIEWS are spectacular. Especially around sunset and the food looks amazing too. I didn't eat when I was here just drinks but the sausages looked fantastic. I will definitely come here on a date with my gf and maybe my wife too!!

Dog friendly patio space with a nice view. Great service and perfect drinks for a hot and sunny day. The food took a bit longer than expected to arrive and quite difficult to find a parking space nearby. But we enjoyed the experience.
