Description

The Highlander pub in Ottawa offers a mixed experience with authentic Scottish dishes like shepherd's pie and Tenet's lager, but disappoints with lackluster fish and chips and dirty serving plates. The atmosphere is cozy with tartan decor and friendly service, but the cleanliness of ketchup bottles was a concern. Despite some inconsistencies in food quality, the pub provides a great evening with live music and impressive dishes like fried chicken. Customers praise the welcoming atmosphere and consistency in service quality, with a well-stocked bar featuring a great selection of scotch. In conclusion, The Highlander offers a mix of positives and negatives, making it a hit or miss dining experience.

Nice atmosphere and great burgers. The patio is good, but noisy right now because of construction in the area.

The wings were the best I have ever had -crispy, tender and delicious! The other members of our party all enjoyed their meals as well. Fast efficient...

The service was amazing and the food was delicious. I highly recommend trying the banana dessert, it is one of the best desserts I have ever had, no question about it!

The Highlander has been my favourite pub for quite some time now. The service is always amazing, the food and drinks are always great. If you love scotch, you will be in heaven! Always a good time :
