Amuse Kitchen & Wine - Kanata

We just enjoyed a delectable array of deliciousness at Amuse! Yes, it’s hiding in a strip mall, but once inside, ordinary is entirely left behind! Tasteful decor and mood music set the tone. This is fine dining at its best. From the charcuterie board, to the lamb chop and quail share plates, to the chocolate crème brûlée and poached pears….we couldn’t have been more pleased! Our waiter Charles was efficient and congenial. He even passed on his recommendations for restaurants and wineries he thought we’d enjoy as we travel next to Quebec City and Niagra Falls! Thank you Amuse for a memorable dining experience!

Book a reservation on the strength of Tripadvisor reviews. We do not get to Kanata regularly so this was a pleasant departure from Normal pedestrian roadhouse venues, quaint and funky. The service from Andrea was perfect and attentive, the advice superb, my lady follows a gluten free diet, so menu items were adapted to her sensitivities. Above all the food was superb and the presentation even better. Want to impress a loved one, take the to Amuse!

Like all the previous reviews I can say it is a real hidden gem or Kanata's best-kept secret. When we first arrived we asked the Uber driver to wait for a little bit as we were not sure what to expect from a restaurant in front of a carwash in a gas station strip mall. To our surprise, everything ended up a really enjoyable meal and a wonderful evening. Starting with our server Charles his humor and his knowledgeable advice or nice little stories or drinks recommendations. The food was amazing! In between the 4 of us, we shared 8 plates and desserts and I can say every single one of them was exquisite. The fine attention to detail and little special touch made every dish outstanding. We will definitely have to come back to try the rest of the menu. The food and wine were reasonably priced for the quality we did get. Congratulation to the chef and all the staff for an amazing unforgettable evening!

We visited this restaurant for a change of scenery from the downtown restaurants and were pleasantly surprised. This petit gem is warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated. The charcuterie plate was lovely, the mains were great, and the dessert was divine. The service was warm and friendly. It was certainly worth the drive from downtown and we will visit again.

Two of us shared four plates and we’d be hard pressed to pick a favourite! Can’t wait to come back so we can try four more plates. Thank you, Amyse staff, for the outstanding and fun service. An incredible dining experience in every way
