What Marisa Bianchi likes about 222 Lyon Tapas Bar:
The best restaurant I met in Ottawa. Excellent seafood and vegetarian options and above all the best service !!! I recommend you have everything you need to feel good! View all feedback. What Maryam Howe doesn't like about 222 Lyon Tapas Bar:
If you are expecting a Spanish food, this is not, even though it has Spanish names. Prosciutto is from Italy, we eat jamón. Croquetas are made with bechamel and they are not vinegary. Lentils soup should not be spicy. Gazpacho taste like done with canned tomatoes. Very disappointing. View all feedback.
