Fine dining in one of Ottawa’s architectural gems

Forty One Restaurant

Named to commemorate the Lord Elgin’s opening in 1941, our restaurant is a culinary gem and a top dining destination for locals and visitors alike!

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Forty One features locally sourced, classic Canadian and Continental cuisine—and our cellar is stocked to suit all occasions. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a midday poutine or salad, or a thoughtfully prepared steak, seafood, or poultry dish, you’re sure to find something to love on our menus. You’ll also find unique global accents, including Ottawa’s favourite egg rolls.

At Forty One, we will be delighted to accommodate you in our well-appointed dining room or private-event spaces; whether you seek a quiet spot for a business lunch or romantic dinner, or a room that lends itself to gracious group dining, we have just the thing. We also invite you to join us at the bar or lounge if you’re looking for a more casual setting. Our bar features products from Ontario-based Top Shelf Distillers and Muskoka Brewery, as well as Scotland’s Ardnamurchan Distillery. We are also proud to serve locally roasted Birch Bark Coffee.

Come enjoy a modern taste of old-world charm, housed within one of Ottawa’s architectural gems!
