This is my all time favourite restaurant when visiting our nations capital, Canberra. The fusion of flavours from Turkey and North Africa is simply: "Yummie". Portion size and variety of meals available, including vegetarian style, are all excellent.The restaurant is a "summer house/gazebo" construction set within gardens with consistantly good staff and service and wheelchair/disability access facilities. The location within... More

We recently had dinner with some friends at the Ottoman Restaurant. It was a special night, made all the more memorable by the magnificant food, and the high quality service we experienced. We had earlier agreed to have the degustation menu, so we could try a variety of the cuisine with perfectly matched wines. This was a good decision. The... More

This was the second visit to the Ottoman. Since our first visit (a little over a year ago) there had been some major renovation and now it has a very good layout with muted lighting (and excellent bathrooms), but perhaps squeezing a few too many people in. Again the food is excellent and probably moving a little away from Turkish... More

Have just arrived home from a wonderful dinner at Ottoman. The decor is beautiful and even the Turkish tiling on the bathroom sinks was divine. The three of us shared 6 entrees as our meal as this allowed us to try a variety of food. The waiter was more than happy for us to order this way. Every single dish... More

Once your group becomes larger than say 16, the food and the service always feels a bit mass produced in most restaurants (the catering at the "establishment" in sydney was a terrible disappointment in one of the best restaurants in that town). Here the service, the food and the ambience was not even faintly compromised. Good wine, hand-served degustation. Can't... More

We went to the Ottoman on Saturday night for my mum's birthday. It was a special treat for us as we cannot usually afford fine dining. We were pleasantly surprised. The place was classy without being snobbish and the staff were attentive without being intrusive, they never let the wine glasses get empty and they were happy and engaging. One... More

We booked a table of four for a family birthday. It was Saturday night and most tables were full. The new fit out is really top notch. Service is excellent and there were plenty of staff on to service a busy evening. The food was fantastic. The scollops were an entree special and were cooked perfectly, as was my daughters... More

I enjoy great food, as much as anyone else. The Ottoman provided not just great food, but valuable service. As you walk in, you can already sense the class and style, the seats are super comfortable, and the décor is lovely. We were greeted and seated straight away and sat down with a view of the outdoor fountain setting. Lovely.... More

We ate here as a family of four. As we were with two children who don't eat much, we weren't able to have the banquet (minimum is 6 people) so we chose a range of dishes. They were quite pricey, with starters around $18, and the portions were small. Having said that, the quality of the food was excellent. At... More
