The Family's Restaurant Bar - Ottawa

Excellent seafood chowder great taste and lots of seafood. Mushroom gruyere burger was great tasting and large with a great heirloom salad which contains a variety of different things.

On a business trip, we wanted a quick but tasty place to eat. This was located one block from our hotel. I had the OCCO Burger and tried the poutine. The burger was very tasty, the poutine was good, and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend if you are in the downtown Ottawa area.

I took my sister in law for lunch to celebrate her birthday. First time i have been back in since the renovation. It looks great. Food was good although fries were not that hot temperature wise. Service was disappointing again. Our server was not very welcoming upon entering the restaurant nor did her lack of enthusiasm improve throughout our visit. Worst i have encountered in a long time. Was going to tip her nothing however she was lurking right above the machine as i filled it out and i caved and left her the bottom amount of 15%. We were there right at noon but restaurant was not overly busy and she was definately not hustling about. Not the first visit i have had here with bad servers , it really deters me from going back, no matter how good the food is.

OCCO Orleans location. General nice atmosphere I assume will have a bit more of a personality once completed décor wise, right now tone on tone greyish. I live in British Columbia and was out visiting. My daughter took me there for lunch as said the food choice options would fit all our tastes. There were the 3 of us, two adults and one child 10 years). Newly renovated. Great food options, we had fish chips, chicken fingers for the child). and Buddha Bowl. . Definitely could use a splash of colour to brighten up the grey tones. Server was excellent and helpful. Lunch for the 3 of us with tip came to just a smidge over $80.00.

Arrived into Ottawa and searched for a restaurant close to the Homewood Suites on Queen Street. We were directed to Occo. The restaurant was empty upon arrival with just two waitstaff and the back of house folks. As the hour proceeded...the restaurant became busier. We ordered the Candy Bacon Cheeseburger -triple a chuck/cheddar cheese/ candied bacon/ house pickles/ lettuce/ tomato- served with fries or salad. One of THE best Burgers I've ever eaten! This was our first taste of candied bacon. There's is made in house, delectable, sweet and crunchy! We have attempted to make it at home but the result was not like the restaurants! The beef juicy and tasty, the buns awesome and flavourful! Request extra napkins immediately. I enjoyed the Heirloom Salad- cherry tomatoes/ bocconcini/ popping fruit boba/ beets/ carrots/ honey vinaigrette. The fruity popping boba were a great addition! Loved them! The waitstaff were very busy running about on a Monday night. One server was also the beverage host and it was a slow go to receive extra napkins, our bill and to pay. Regardless, Occo was a great start to our holiday! Thanks to all Would we return...definitely!
