What User likes about Highlander Pub:
We selected this pub because it was less busy than the others nearby, that may have been an indication of its popularity. The service was okay and so was the food. It was a little messy, but it had construction going on all around it. The shepherds pie and Tenet's lager were authentic and delicious. The kids meals were lacking a little in presentation and value. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Highlander Pub:
We picked this spot by coincidence, the kids were ready to eat and rain was pending. We found a nice table inside (love the tartan), and were promptly provided menus and drink options. Service remained strong the entire meal, despite a steady influx of people, but the food was a bit of a miss. The fish n chips were bland as were the nacho chips. The cheese and chicken tortilla rolls were very good (with a touch of sp... View all feedback.

This is a pub so you got pub food but good one. Fairly large terrasse so you got room outside in an otherwise part of town. Friendly staff.

Outside seating in good weather Standard pub food Service was good Not much more to say. I would go back.

This "Scottish" bar does not represent Scotland. Fish and chips bland, my thought was frozen food, side plates for an appetizer to share were dirty, I would say...

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.

This is my favorite bar in any location. It has a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, a wide selection of beer, and the best Scotch selection around.

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