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

Both food and service are consistently excellent! I don't live in Ottawa, but when I do visit, a meal here is a must. Dishes that I fall in love with don't last forever on the menu, but I've never been disappointed by their replacement ;-) The chef has a particularly creative and brilliant way with scallops.

Service was excellent and ambiance was great, but food was quite disappointing, presentation-, portion-and taste-wise.

As usual, the food was very good. My spouse had the duck which she really enjoyed while I had the short rib. The short rib was good but I would have preferred it to be cooked slightly less since it was drier than my preference. The deserts were the usual high standard and artfully presented.

First time for dinner. The food was good and service was great. We had the tartar, octopus, boar and duck. The potato salad with the octopus made it favorable and the duck was crispy giving it great flavor. Had the raspberry creme brûlé and their signature desert, butterfinger like. The butterfinger desert was yummy.
