Benny’s Bistro

Benny’s Bistro absolutely knocked it out of the park. I had the Yukon Gold Potato Gratin with Maple Cured Pork Loin and Soft Poached Eggs, and it was honestly one of the best brunch dishes I’ve had in a long time.
The potatoes were perfectly tender and rich without being heavy, the maple cured pork loin had that beautiful balance of sweet and savory, and the soft poached eggs tied everything together with that silky, golden goodness. Every bite was packed with flavor.
You can tell there’s real care and quality in the ingredients and preparation. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the overall experience was top tier.
Five stars all the way — I’ll definitely be back!

I recently returned to Benny’s Bistrot for lunch after their reopening in 2023, following a 3-year closure during the pandemic. I’m happy to say the experience was well worth the wait. The lunch was absolutely delicious, and you can truly taste the care and attention put into every dish. Although the lunch offers only five options, each one is thoughtfully prepared and consistently well executed. The limited selection actually makes the meal feel more curated and intentional. If you’re looking for quality and flavor over quantity, you won’t be disappointed. Benny’s Bistrot has returned with the same charm and culinary excellence that made it special in the first place. Highly recommended.

First time visiting Ottawa, and I have ordered the salmon gravlax for my brunch today, it was really delicious. The combination of ingredients elevated the taste and definitely gave me surprise! 👏👏Also, the staff there are very nice.

Highly recommended this bistro. 😄

My family was visiting and I brought them to Benny’s before they set off on a long road trip. Everyone loved the atmosphere—it’s a funky space with good artwork to enjoy. The open kitchen is a neat experience, with the staff chopping fresh veggies right where you enter. The service was personal and the food…oh the food! We had brunch and everyone said the eggs were the best they’d ever had. The potatoes were soft inside, crispy outside, and not greasy, with the most delicious chunks of perfect bacon. The salad and bread were both fresh and the hand-pulled coffees were divine.

It was a real joy to eat breakfast here! A delightful, warm, welcoming, clean place! The gentleman who served us and with whom we had a conversation is a very nice and kind person! Everything is superlative, congratulations, you are doing a great job! 💝💯👏👍

Absolutely lovely experience. Cool, clean atmosphere with. Quick and friendly service. My wife had the French toast and I had the potatoes gratin. Everything was downright delicious. Potatoes were reheated in the microwave but considering the flavor bomb that was the potatoes, I’m willing to look past that 😛 will definitely be back
