One of the best tasting menus in Canada!The attention to detail - flavour, texture, service is michelin calibre. Chef Kim has masterfully crafted a menu connecting diners to the produce of the season. Her precision crafting every element of the dish results in the perfect taste. The service is seamless but also makes you feel so comfortable. Cannot wait to visit again!

The greatest in Ottawa, and beyond.It takes strength to resist being tempted in resigning to the local taste. It takes faith to slough off the mortal inertia that roots Ottawa in its gastronomic dogma. Alice has achieved being in themselves.Fermentation delimits the infinitude of flavour. In parallel to the natural seasonality of produce at the height of their freshness, fermentation brings its own independent seasonality to its wielder. Take one ingredient, ferment it, you receive something, tweak the conditions and timing, and you receive something else. The possibilities are endless. An experience at Alice leaves you sitting at the edge of the horizon.For those who intend to visit, it would be foolish to overlook the juice pairing.This is food that brings tears to your eyes.

This was a totally awesome and unique dining experience! The dishes were all excellent. Each course was described to us in great detail by an excellent server, a different one with each plate. Each dish was perfectly paired with exquisite fermented juices. I will return soon. Thank you to Chef Kim and her incredible team!

While I appreciate the creativity, effort and skill of each dish, I felt there was room for improvement in the dining experience. For one, we were not asked if we enjoyed the food after each course, which was my experience at Michelin star restaurants. I also think some more instruction suggesting how to enjoy the dishes would have been helpful for the tempeh.Second, I was not the target audience of some of the courses. I expected each course to taste mindblowing but there were only some standouts that I would want more of. Some textures were not for me. The bee pollen butter with rye was amazing, as was the maitake & kelp, silken tofu, and blackened pear & liquorice.The atmosphere and presentation were both 10/10. Overall had a very fun experience here. However the beverage pairings seems overpriced.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The service was nice and attentive and they went above and beyond to accommodate one of our dining requests. The skill and effort that goes into making the various ingredients used in the dishes is phenomenal and absolutely something to be applauded. I recommended trying their fermented juices as it’s quite unique to the standard wine offerings. Highly recommended memorable experience

Incredible experience. Everything about the 8 plate tasting menu was designed to lead you through an experience you won't soon forget. If you're looking to do something on a special occasion, look no further! The best plant based foods I've ever had.

Unfortunately, for me, this dining experience did not live up to the hype.The menu started with an outstanding bread and butter which I really loved. While the rest of the dishes had some tasty and creative elements, something about their flavour profiles did not match my palate. Earthy flavours and many charred elements added a strong underlying bitterness that I did not enjoy. Unnecessarily sweet radish chunks brought down a dish I otherwise really liked and the theatrical smoked tofu disappointed the most by tasting of very little to me.It was delightful to have the chefs present the dishes and see the pride in what they had created. Aside from that though, the service was cold and autonomous and it did not feel like I was particularly welcomed or that they cared if I was enjoying the meal.My experience aligns completely with the other 3-star reviews here. I'm sure there are people that would really enjoy a dining experience at Alice, but I cannot think of anyone that I would personally recommend it to.

It was an amazing dining experience. Did the wine pairing.Everyone loved the experience.There is a price for this level of dining, which may not be for everyone.The atmosphere is fine, but it's understated by design, can't give it 5 stars there.

We had a great experience at Alice. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We highly recommend trying the wine pairing to get the most out of the experience. Each course will have your taste buds exploding and wanting more. Alice is a little gem in Ottawa that everyone needs to experience at least once.
