Rank 4. Arlo Restaurant
Canadian
Arlo trades in ingredient-driven Canadian cooking that shifts with the seasons—roasted cod one visit, beef tataki the next—served in a Centretown room that hums with energy at the bar and softens into intimacy toward the back. The wine list favors natural bottles, and summer diners drift to a leafy terrace where the food feels less like a statement and more like an invitation.

-
Briana Kim's intimate Ottawa restaurant unfolds a nine-course vegetarian tasting menu built on fermentation and umami-rich technique, where sesame tofu swims in pine-smoked tea broth and black garlic oils burnish preserved figs into dark, savory condiments. The wines pair intelligently, but the real revelation is how methodically she constructs meatiness from plants.
-
Rank 8. Les Fougères
French
A rambling countryside refuge north of Montreal where seasonal cooking unfolds across a dining room, shop, and gallery. Duck confit and fern salad from the property's gardens anchor menus built around what local farmers bring—a quiet insistence on place that has held steady for three decades.

Rank 11. sEb L'Artisan Culinaire
Modern Cuisine
In a restored house in Mont-Tremblant's centre, Chef Sébastien Houle channels years of global wandering—yacht kitchens included—into dishes that marry local catch with international technique. Lake Tremblant walleye arrives as tempura with gribiche; osso bucco melts into Parmesan risotto; the wine list tilts toward Italy and France.
