Limestone & Thyme Restaurant
Limestone & Thyme is not simply the hotel's restaurant - it is a reason to visit Ottawa in any month of the year, because the menu changes with the genuine rhythm of the Ottawa Valley's seasons rather than a marketing calendar. Chef Marisol Tran's kitchen is built for guests who notice the difference between a sauce made yesterday and one that has been coaxed over three days, and who want a dining room that matches that seriousness with warmth rather than ceremony. Reservations are recommended but walk-ins are welcomed with the same attentiveness - we believe access to a remarkable meal should never feel gatekept.
Ottawa Valley Seasonal Sourcing
Producers within 200 kilometres of Ottawa supply the kitchen's core ingredients - Lanark County grains, Gatineau Hills foraged greens, and Prince Edward County root vegetables appear on the menu within days of harvest.
Rotating Tasting Menu
A five-course tasting menu changes every three weeks, giving Ottawa regulars a reason to return and giving first-time guests a single decisive way to experience the kitchen at its most ambitious.
Tableside Finishing Rituals
Certain dishes - the buckwheat soufflé, the cured duck with Niagara cherry reduction - are completed at the table by the serving team, turning dinner into a sequence of small, private performances.
Private Dining Room
A ten-seat room behind a reclaimed-timber door accommodates business dinners and intimate celebrations with a dedicated server, custom menu consultations, and complete acoustic privacy from the main dining room.
Weekend Chef's Brunch
Saturday and Sunday mornings bring an à la carte brunch menu anchored by a live station where Chef Tran's team prepares fresh pasta and carved smoked meats - a leisurely Ottawa morning ritual worth building a weekend around.
Anniversary & Occasion Packages
Guests celebrating milestones receive advance consultation with the Limestone & Thyme team, who arrange personalised menu notes, table florals sourced from a Byward Market florist, and a complimentary dessert composed around a flavour the guest loves.
