Tulip - Ottawa

I didn't realize the restaurant was inside a hotel when I made the reservation not a big fan of those but was quite impressed. A coworker and I went for lunch. I had the Caesar salad with a Shirley Temple. My co worker had the club sandwich. Not disappointed at all. The environment was cozy and not too busy.

Brandon was excellent! Gorgeous smile and very professional. We need to go back as everything on the menu looked amazing.

Chicken was not cooked so big turn off...you know food safe. So I cannot recommend this place. We ate at another hotel restaurant...it was pretty good there. Sad situation for Tulip!

The food is amazing and completely experimental. I love the unique flavours that accompany every single dish and the presentation is spectacular. It has been one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had and some of the best food as well. I’d give it five stars for every aspect.Unfortunately after coming back a year later and seeing that the menu has been reworked, I would lower my rating drastically (maybe by two stars or so). It has become so much less experimental and the unique flavours are few and far between. The menu is cluttered with basic items such as steak and fries which has replaced some of the most unique menu choices I’ve seen at a restaurant. The old steak I got a year ago is no longer available and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had with its unique flavours and presentation. I hope they bring back some of the unique menu items that have almost completely disappeared from this restaurant. The food is still good but it’s not as good as it was nor as special. Why go here if it’s not to different from other chain restaurants of its type?The head chef is awesome, other staff like management or what not, not to sure. I don’t know who runs the place but they seem to be new management and very bad at it. Reviews and conversations lead me to believe that the new management is disgusting and I honestly hope this place can get things together.

This restaurant is located inside the Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites. They offer a breakfast buffet but we ordered off the menu instead for two days running. We were delighted with the results. On the first day, an omelet and museli and we were not disappointed. The omelet and potatoes were delicious and the muesli is served cold, mixed with yogurt, and topped with fruit and seeds: delicious. The second day was eggs benedict and fruit plate. Again, delicious and beautifully presented. A great breakfast stop.
