The 2 hosts are very friendly and prepare an excellent Eastern European menu that includes the following dishes which we tried and enjoyed: the best schnitzels on this part of the ocean, not to say the pirogies, the spatzles, the chicken paprikash and the great sides: beet salad, caramelized onions, sautéed red cabbage. The bistro seats about 12 around 3 counters, but if one prefers, food can be boxed for take out. The 3 of us highly recommend this little jewel of restaurant on Innes road where genuine Hungarian and Polish dishes will delight everyone.

Their regular menu features schnitzel, Polish pierogies, Russian pelmeni, Hungarian goulash, cabbage rolls, bigos, and side dishes like pureed beets and sauerkraut. In addition to their regular menu, the owners host special dinners that include a main dish, sides, soup, salad, and dessert. We were drawn in by their Christmas/New Year's roast duck dinner, which was fantastic. They also offer themed dinners for Valentine's Day and Easter, such as quail for Valentine's Day and roasted boneless leg of lamb for Easter, served with a delicious mix of roasted root vegetables, salads, soup, and dessert.

We had been searching for a restaurant in Ottawa that served authentic German schnitzel and spaetzle, and we were thrilled to discover Duna. The portions are generous and the sauces and sides are made with fresh, delicious ingredients. While it is primarily a takeout spot, there is also countertop seating for around 8-10 people, which we took advantage of after traveling from across the city. You won't be disappointed with a meal at Duna!

Best schnitzel, spaetzle, pierogies and jaegger sauce I’ve had since leaving Germany 32 years ago! Amazing! Thank you! Highly recommend. read more Best schnitzel, spaetzle, pierogies and jaegger sauce I’ve had since leaving Germany 32 years ago! Amazing! Thank you! Highly recommend.
