The Glen Scottish Pub - Ottawa

We were in town for Celtfest and thus researched to find a Celtic eatery. There are plenty of Irish establishments but only The Glen comes up consistently for Scottish fare. We decided to try it for lunch. The place is cute with lots of Scottish paraphernalia. We loved the intimate booth seating. The fish and chips were average in terms of size, coating, and flavour. (As compared to our gold standard, Don’s Fish Chips in Brockville. It did not come with coleslaw although we asked for it and by the time the waitress came back to check on us, we were almost done our meal so we did not bother asking for it. I cannot provide a comparison on the Scotch meat pies (minced lamb as I have never had this dish before. It had a high crust to meat ratio, was drenched in gravy, so I could not really taste the lamb. I would consider it suitable as an appetizer. The best part of the meal was actually the Sticky Toffee dessert. Not cheap at $9 but it was warm and gooey and delicious.

This was our 3rd visit in 6 months. Twice in 2 days. These pictures are from today. Food was great hence why we went back again. Yesterday's server remembered us and gave us a great seat.I had a pan seared fish. Delicious!! My wife had a Salisbury steak which also was delicious.I just wanna say that I will recommend this place to anyone. Please give it a try you will not be disappointed. If you are you don't like food.

The food tastes great and the outdoor dining is lovely especially on a nice evening. The staff could be more friendly and the wait time to get your food was rather long. Our waitress wasn’t too interested in serving us. But was very chatty with one other table which may have been the bosses. If she gave the same energy to us it could have been a wonderful experience.

Wonderful afternoon sitting in their outdoor seating area, under an umbrella and perfect weather! Enjoyed the Clam Chowder and my sister the Cajun Fish Sandwich. She thoroughly enjoyed her lunch.Service was great and wasn't too busy. ?Parking: Lots of spots available!

May 17, 2023 A 15 person post burial gathering at this wonderful restaurant. It was 3pm. We made a reservation many days in advance. June, the Manager, contacted me the day before to confirm, well done June.Everything was wonderful; from the many, many staff who coordinated to serve us food, to our dear young man who took our orders (apologies, forgot his name). It was a big gathering, with much food and beverages. Everyone was happy and well beveraged and fed.We took my late father to The Glen many times in his late years and he loved the Scottish brogue, so of course, this would be where his post burial would occur.Blessings on all the dear staff and owners of this amazing venue. May you all thrive.
