In a stylishly updated heritage building in the ByWard Market, sip hand-crafted cocktails and savour modern twists on classic dishes.
Starling Restaurant is housed in a landmark building dating to 1875, but its vibe is thoroughly contemporary. High ceilings, huge windows, exposed brick walls, deep blue banquettes, a long bar and gorgeous bird wallpaper combine to create an inviting setting for a memorable meal in Ottawa’s popular ByWard Market neighbourhood.
The frequently changing menu features innovative takes on beloved classics and new favourites. On any given day, your choices might include onion soup with provolone and fried egg, hamburgers with duck-fat fries, vegan pasta Alfredo, or pineapple tarte tatin. Specialty cocktails have avian names, such as the goldfinch sour and the hummingbird smash. The combination of stylish ambiance and carefully curated food and drink makes dining at Starling feel like an event.
