Norca Restaurant & Bar

Beautiful restaurant, just make sure you eat before you go (serving sizes are quite small... Basically tasters) and the prices are expensive. I had lamb which was served as 2 (tiny) pieces of tough and bland lamb served with a butter knife... yes, I used my hands! Not even close to what I was expecting for what I was paying in terms of the food or the service. Quite disappointing -though the company I brought was great (oh, that's right, that has nothing to do with the restaurant)

This place always impresses me when it comes to service. The food menu has changed since the first time. Drinks are good and the ambiance is one of the most elegant places in town. If you're looking for a night out but not too high key then this is the spot.

Excellent quality food and presentation. Prices a touch high as it's in the Les Germaine's hotel. Nice decor and floor to ceiling windows. A real nice place to go to even just for a beer. Excellent night at Norca!

Very elegant place. Much creativity displayed. Great service and wide variety of drinks but the food standard didn’t match the price and place.

An interesting experience. I enjoyed it all!

We were prepared to be blown away when we arrived at Norca last August, we heard a lot of good about this restaurant in Ottawa. Well we didn’t like it at all... sorry to say it like that. My boyfriend tried the green pea soup with lobster as a starter and then he had the duck. Both were okay but nothing special and certainly nothing to be impressed. I had the beef tartare for starter ( it was great but a little too salty) and then i had the lobster papardelle. The papardelles were not enough cooked, the sauce was salty and brownish, and the lobster was dry. It was definitely not well done and i didn’t finish my plate. I have to say also that the servings were too big, a starter was the size of an entree. Very disappointed! And it cost us nearly 250$ for this dinner...

Finally! Somewhere with some new and interesting food! Great food, great decor, great service.

Excellent food and service. Sharing main plates worked well. Expensive but worth it.

I was staying in Le German and dining here. Impressive environment either in day or night, floor to ceiling glass, warming light and modern design. A few styles of seating place you can choose, sofa, bar seat etc. My main course was the smoked pork chop, the chef masters the cook timing and the taste match my expectation. Good size is enough for me but may be average for many people. I didn’t get the drink due the need of driving, but the virgin cocktail taste good. Btw, Sunday’s menu is the same as room service which only has a few simple dishes and is different from the normal. (the current I picked was from the normal menu)

Knowledgeable bar staff.

OMG this place is point. The food was exceptional with bonus points for presentation. I love the sea bass. The cocktail menu needs to be expanded however. Nice view of tge skyline

Brussels and Paris can't do it better. Chapeau! The food is excellent and the service incredible. I loved it and definitely recommend this restaurant. Un grand merci.

Great atmosphere and decor and amazing food. Highly recommend a visit. We will be back.

Amazing experience! Really refined lounge vibe with an informed staff who you can tell really care about the food and drinks they are serving. A great spot for drinks or a full meal.

We have been here several times and it is always excellent. The vegetarian plate is one of my favourites, though I’m not vegetarian, and I try to make other choices than this one. Service is great too.
