The Glen Scottish Pub - Ottawa

Five of us went to The Glen Scottish Pub Restaurant for dinner. It was very busy but we had a reservation and were taken to our table as soon as we arrived. Service was excellent. We had a steak and ale pie, a yorkshire pudding dish, chicken and two fish dishes. The food was good but a little overcooked.

Been going there for past 30 years nearly always have original fish and chips but have tried Yorkie, Scotch eggs ...can recommend them all. The sticky toffee pudding is also some of the best I've tried anywhere

I felt like having a steak. They didn't have it, the waitress suggested trying the Salisbury steak , it was awful, a small ground beef patty (dry)with 3 scoops of mashed potatoes, not to mention that cutlery was filty, I don't recommend this place for any reason.

We were in town for Celtfest and thus researched to find a Celtic eatery. There are plenty of Irish establishments but only The Glen comes up consistently for Scottish fare. We decided to try it for lunch. The place is cute with lots of Scottish paraphernalia. We loved the intimate booth seating. The fish and chips were average in terms of size, coating, and flavour. (As compared to our gold standard, Don’s Fish Chips in Brockville. It did not come with coleslaw although we asked for it and by the time the waitress came back to check on us, we were almost done our meal so we did not bother asking for it. I cannot provide a comparison on the Scotch meat pies (minced lamb as I have never had this dish before. It had a high crust to meat ratio, was drenched in gravy, so I could not really taste the lamb. I would consider it suitable as an appetizer. The best part of the meal was actually the Sticky Toffee dessert. Not cheap at $9 but it was warm and gooey and delicious.

This was our 3rd visit in 6 months. Twice in 2 days. These pictures are from today. Food was great hence why we went back again. Yesterday's server remembered us and gave us a great seat.I had a pan seared fish. Delicious!! My wife had a Salisbury steak which also was delicious.I just wanna say that I will recommend this place to anyone. Please give it a try you will not be disappointed. If you are you don't like food.
