Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Hintonburg

Excellent food , flavours complimented each other so well, great presentation, great wine suggestions, nice atmosphere. Great value for the quality of the experience . Would definitely recommend.

Went on a Saturday at 5pm; party of 4. There was only one other party of two in the restaurant at that time. TL;DR: Overall we are adding this to our list of go-to Ottawa restaurants when we want delicious bistro food that is intentional with their gluten-free awareness and accommodations. Food Our entrées were excellent. We ordered the gnocchi, zucchini steak, lamb, and stuffed chicken. Everything was delicious, well executed, and visually appealing. The chicken dish listed a croissant component in the menu, but we couldn't discern it on the plate. Not sure if it was missed, or if it was in an unexpected and unrecognizable form. The desserts were a lovely way to finish the meal, although as a whole, that experience didn't quite live up to the standard of our main course. One of the desserts was described as a cross between a crème brûlée and a tiramisu, but it wasn't really either of those things. Although with the bit of caramelized sugar on top, it was closer to a brûlée. There was no reference to a tiramisu whatsoever. That said, it was so yummy. The dough of the pâte à choux bites was over baked and hard to bite/cut with a fork, which made the eating challenging. Ambience We were seated next to the speaker which made comfortable conversation a bit challenging, but the server very kindly lowered the music when requested. Service The server was pleasant and helpful, if perhaps(?) new. Given that there were only two tables seated, I was a little surprised that it was an hour between being seated and being served our mains. Fortunately we weren't in a rush, and I can appreciate the time and care taken in the preparation and presentation of the dishes.

Well balanced flavours, local ingredients, great vibes.

Lovely ambiance, very chill and good vibe. The charcuterie was excellent. Grilled cheese very rich. Not a lot of menu options but definitely worth the view and the service was great!

We both had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fauna last night. The server and the sommelier were both extremely helpful and friendly with all of our requests and questions. Thank you to the whole team.
