Hello,

I was looking Ottawa foodies perspectives for good spots for low key dinner spots (ore dinner drinks, dinner, dessert). Recommendations, foodie links, thoughts links welcome:)

Thank you:)

If only there were a "fancy pants" tag ...

Fancy pants is too subjective and relative for a tag. A huge number of restaurants would fall in a grey area between fancy pants and not fancy pants. Is Moxie's fancy pants? (A: Nope, how could it be when nobody there even wears pants? lol)

LF, some of the quieter better places I know include: MeNa, Albion Rooms, Allium, Beckta. But there's always *some* chance you'll have a loud group near you. If you want guaranteed classiness you'd probably have to splurge for somewhere like Le Baccara.

I've always been a fan of Whalesbone for small birthday meals (2-6 people). Its nice to sit at the chefs bar if you are only two :) Classy, yet laid back and fun.

I recently visited Two Six Ate. Food was top notch, but you have to like the "sharing plate" idea. They also made a killer Mai Tai.

Well I think clearly I don't really mean you should literally have a tag "Fancy Pants", but I do think you need a way to rate establishments on this - maybe a scale from 1 to 5 for "classy".

We celebrated a family birthday at Fraser Cafe last month. Low key is a nice way to describe it. Not fancy pants, just nice and comfortable.
