The Red Lion Public House - Ottawa

Wife and I wanted a quick and reasonably priced breakfast this morning on our way back to the condo. Stopped at red lion pub for a quick bite. We both took the basic breakfast, two eggs, fruits, potatoes, ham or bacon, order of toast for $7. Amazing well priced breakfast in the hearth of Byward market on a Sunday. Would recommend it

We stopped in for a snack after a long drive to Ottawa. The patio was packed so we had to sit at a hi-top rather than the more comfortable lounge chairs. We just ordered drinks and then added a plate of Nachos to share. OMG the Nachos were really good!The only downside was waiting for our drinks as we had a new server in training - we are patient so didn't complain to her but she was a bit slow when asking to refilll our drinks and add the Nachos to our order and then to get our bill etc.Overall a good pub is a busy pub so be patient with your servers.

This place has a nice atmosphere inside and out. We were on the patio yesterday which was nice as it is spacious and centrally located in the Market. We've sat inside before too and enjoyed it. I really like the selection of beer, and I find the food menu appealing but ultimately a little too pricey. Our group decided to go elsewhere for food.

We were told when being seated that they were caught short handed with kitchen staff, and that it would likely be 45 mins. We said fine, we are not in a rush. However, it took 1 hour 45 mins to get our food. Luckily the food was great when it came. Looking at other reviews this looks like a common experience, too bad!

Stopped here for snacks and a drink during the afternoon. Was almost empty inside and maybe half filled on the patio, but waited for ages for our snack food. Food was fine, although the tempura was soggy. Beer selection was decent, but not as many as I would have expected for this style of a pub. Very classy inside, red leather seats. Most likely will not return.
