Between the central locale afforded by its gracious home in the landmark Lord Elgin Hotel, a warm and yet contemporary ambience, a locally sourced menu and a casual-to-sophisticated stocked cellar, Forty-One has become one of Ottawa’s top new restaurants.

Named Forty-One in recognition of the year, 1941, that the Lord Elgin was built, the restaurant features a modern environment and classic menu that is a perfect match for connecting with new and familiar faces. Guests are able to relax in the inviting lounge with flat screen TVs and large windows overlooking Elgin Street or enjoy an intimate dinner or a group get together in the dining area. With a capacity of close to 150, the restaurant features booths and banquette seating to allow flexibility to accommodate guest needs whether they are popping in for lunch, a quick after-work cool-down, a pre-theatre warm-up or an evening night cap. Forty-One also includes a private dining room for up to 30 guests.

    Late night dinner upon arrival in Victoria. Busy dining room even at 10pm, one of the few open. Hamburgers and club sandwiches hit the spot. Waiter was good at food ordering and service except no ideas about mocktails and a delay in getting the bill. The Elgin Hotel was welcoming to non guests

    Very friendly and helpful servers. Unfortunate that the chef cannot prepare french fries that are edible. The rest of the food was OK and the atmosphere was quite nice. Great location for walking tours.

    Really lovely place. The food was good. The service was excellent. It is also so wonderful to be able to talk at the table in a fairly quiet environment. I highly recommend it.

    Dinner with friends. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was delicious. I had Cesar salad with grilled salmon, my wife the beef dish, and our friends the chicken in Sambuca sauce.

    The three of us ordered different items. Everything was really good and copious portions too. Our servers were so kind and cheerful. The room is lovely after a renovation in a vintage building. The churros with lemon curd dip were especially memorable. Just like in Seville (the churros).

    More than happy to recommend 41 for a night out in pleasant surroundings. We had attentive service but it was not overly attentive which can be annoying when you’re trying to talk to your partner. The meal was delicious - well worth the price.

    Not sure if noise goal for energetic is necessary. Had a great dinner connecting in a good atmosphere that was not too noisy. Good food, good service.
