North & Navy Ottawa

North & Navy sits on Nepean Street, a fifteen-minute walk from Parliament Hill. The room runs smart and elegant, serving traditional, classic Italian cooking. It holds a spot on the 2024 Canada's 100 Best list at number 94.

The restaurant succeeds by ignoring the noisy churn of the major tourist zones. While most visitors congregate around the ByWard Market or the National Gallery, this space offers a quiet precision that those central districts rarely allow. It is a more intentional choice than the crowded bistros closer to the museums, providing the kind of focus that earned it a place on the national top 100 list. You come here for the consistency of the classic menu, not for the spectacle of a central address.
