They have a brand new cocktail menu since May. Fantastic new creations I had Gui Hua Gao, if you are chinese and know Bai Jiu, u can truly taste that in this cocktail. Also tried the surf&turf, again, the peat from Laphoirg really came through, and the seaweed base gave that ocean savory umami flavors. This is in my mind the best cocktail bar in ottawa, at least at the creativity level

Went to Bar Ocelli yesterday and honestly… still thinking about the drinks. Isaac made me one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time (and even caipirinha🇧🇷). You can tell he actually cares about what he’s making, not just throwing drinks together, also takes the time to educate me cause I clearly know zero about fancy drinks 🫠 Also had Bobby’s spicy chicken and wow… lots of flavor, actually spicy but still balanced. Such a good vibe, great service! Imma definitely be back.🍹

We were told that ordering à la carte from the Asian menu was possible, which did provide some flexibility, but by then the tone for the evening had already been set. • Upon reviewing the menu, the pricing structure also felt confusing and, f

It’s challenging to find elite bars that master the atmosphere-cocktails combination while offering genuinely attentive service. In Ottawa, Bar Ocelli delivers. From welcome drinks to a knowledgeable staff who understand the menu deeply, to their accommodating approach when managing incoming parties, Bar Ocelli excelled. A must-visit destination amidst its surroundings, it stands out as a unique gem.
