Cheap, delicious, and steaming hot... and that's just the staff! This eclectic bar/restaurant, with four televisions dedicated to sports *and* high-brow modern art on the walls, commands a prime location in downtown Ottawa and serves up a great mix of food, beer, and atmosphere, including a free jukebox (free!). The friendly staff is cheerfully busy in this now jam-packed hotspot, so if you want the table under Marcel Proust's studious gaze, you'd better come early. Highly recommended.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It's a small, cozy, neighbourhood pub, with beautiful and eclectic artwork, a free jukebox, and a staff that remembers you. The food is amazing and, I think, TOO reasonably priced - somehow, the secret got out, and now there's often a long wait for a table. You see the waitresses infrequently, since the place is so busy. Aside from the v-e-r-y slow service, they are friendly, polite and helpful, and the long evening has become part of the CL experience (I've learned not to go there when I'm starving - snack before you leave home!- and to order another drink when my glass is still half-full). Great wine, great beer, gourmet-quality food for under $15... well worth the wait! (but don't tell anybody else, ok?)

It was a wonderful place. I loved the atmosphere and the food. The service was terrible though, it was sunday afternoon and there were about 2 other tables including ours, and it took over an hour to get our meal. Otherwise i really like the place and i will definatly visit again.

Find flair and flavor at Ottawa’s French bistros

At Chez Lucien, the charm begins at the entrance, thanks to a wooden door with an iron handle that has a distinctly antique feel. It continues inside with brick walls, slowly-rotating ceiling fans and a wooden bar where patrons can sit. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. This isn't haute cuisine but well-made comfort food like the Lucien burger or the classic croque monsieur.

Best spots in Ottawa for a juicy burger

For the longest time, only those who lived in the ByWard Market ’hood knew about this local pub. With such tiny signage, many have walked by without ever noticing its unassuming doorway. However, Chez Lucien has thrived for a number of years simply thanks to word of mouth – particularly when it comes to their house-made burgers. The menu boasts an array of burger choices, giving visitors the opportunity to choose from a beef, salmon or tofu base and a variety of toppings. This local hotspot attracts crowds nightly so be prepared for the high noise level and tight seating.
