THE LEAD VERDICT
“The prix fixe at Fauna was well-priced for the quality. The dry-aged PEI ribeye was one of the best steaks I've had in Ottawa. honestly each course showed real craftsmanship. Fine dining flavor at a price that didn't require a second mortgage lol”
“teh wine pairings pushed teh per-person cost up significantly. at $45 more for wine, a dinner for two went from $100 to $190, honestly the wines were goood but the incremental cost made it feel less like a value not gonna lie”
ALSO FILED
“actually teh smoked duck breast with seasonal fruit was extraordinary. The smoke was subtle, enhancing the duck without overwhelming it. And the dessert, a chocolate fondant with salted caramel, was textbook perfection. The wine service was equally impressive.”
“Only two dessert options on a weeknight. For a restaurant with this level of culinary ambition, a cheese course, a seasonal fruit dessert, and a chocolate smth should be minimum. The fondant was excellent but I wanted choices.”

CONTRIBUTING CRITICS
“Fauna had excellent GF options and the kitchen was confident handling allergen requests. The soft shell crab was naturally GF and absolutely delicous. like the server proactively flagged which dishes could be modified. Professional and reassuring.”
“The spaghetti dish couldn't be made GF since they only had wheat pasta. For a restaurant this accommodating otherwise, having a GF pasta on hand would close the one gap in an otherwise excellent experience”
“Fauna's interior was elegant and modern with warm woods and soft lighting. The open kitchen added a theatrical element without dominating the room. A space that felt simultaneously intimate and energetic. Perfect for a special dinner.”
“The entrance is easy to walk past. Minimal signage on a busy street means first-timers often overshoot. A more visible presence would help new customers find this excellent restaurant wihtout circling the block.”
