About Buvette Daphnée
Buvette Daphnée is a warm, wine-forward spot on William Street in the heart of the ByWard Market. Self-described as a "Quebec wine bar," it quickly made a name for itself after opening — landing on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants 2024 list at number 97, one of only six Ottawa restaurants to make the cut.
The space has a charming, Parisian-style feel with a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. The restaurant focuses on an ever-evolving menu of seafood and vegetarian dishes alongside an extensive natural wine selection — think Montreal charm transplanted to Ottawa's Market district.
What to Order
- Whole Sea Bass — Crispy skin, perfectly cooked. A standout from the seafood-forward menu.
- Duck Confit — Rich and classic, done with care.
- Maitake Mushrooms — A creative, flavour-packed vegetarian highlight.
- Grilled Celeriac Salad — Unexpected and delicious. A house favourite.
- Natural Wine — Sommelier Nicholas is praised for his approachable expertise in Canadian natural wines. Let him guide you.
