Whales'S bone - Ottawa

Let's cut to the chase - the seafood at this restaurant is incredible. We tried oysters from four different regions, octopus, and shrimp.

We came here for a meal after the late-night hockey game.

I was in the mood for some fresh oysters, and this place in Ottawa is the top spot for exceptional quality ones, second only to Supply and Demand with their Sunday oyster special!

Whales Bone has become one of my regular lunch spots as they truly excel in service and quality of food. Specifically the smoke fish sandwich, which despite being one of the cheaper items on the menu goes a long way in delivering great taste. This review is for the Bank St. location which to my understanding is rather new, however, the service and food has been consistently great since I stumbled upon this sandwich and became a regular. I will also preface that Whale's Bone does in house bread baking and you get a plate of bread before your meal that easily destroy your appetite because of how good it is, you can only buy day old so it is never as good as it is in house (great business model) because it is fresh(er.) The bun on the sandwich reflects the same quality as the bread and the seafood is top notch as well (the sandwich consists of the catch of the day but the Arctic Char I feel complements best) Ill be honest and I have not had the pleasure of trying anything else on the menu but Ill save that for a good dinner rather then lunch where this sandwich hits a home run. Further to this the service has been stellar from the beginning we have had the same server each time (tall fella I should know his name by now. sorry) who does his job very well, is extremely accommodating and personable. The price will run you more then your average lunch but in my eyes, well worth every penny.

Very fresh oysters and mussels, the server was very friendly and willing to help! The quality of the food is great! We loved the fresh shackled oysters! Can't wait to do it again!
