I visited the place alone, and it offered a wide variety of food options in the buffet. The food was good, with different flavors to choose from, and the service was great. Just be aware that the buffet fee does not include drinks, so if you are offered coffee, it will be charged separately..

Had a wonderful first meal in Marrakech here - our server Chaima was so kind and helpful. She made sure we all had dishes that were not only delicious but met our dietary needs. Hoping to come back again while here!

The food was so tasty! I had the buffet and really liked their soup. Everyone who ordered La carte got really hot and freshly prepared food. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Vegetarian options are also available

I just got back from Morocco (my partner is Moroccan and lives there but I am Canadian) and all of the food at Chez Fatima is so authentic. I showed him all the restaurants in Ottawa and photos of the food and asked him which one looked most Moroccan and he chose this one. Owner is so warm and kind and so are the servers. You can either do the buffet or the a la carte menu which is what we did. I’d recommend if you want to try everything, come after 6-630 as some items aren’t ready if you come earlier right when they open. We got there at 5:30 and tried to order pastilla but it wasn’t ready and other guests who arrived 30-40 min later were able to order it so just something to keep in mind. Food is amazing, flavourful, and the chef/owner comes out to speak with you! Well worth the visit.

I went to Gatineau for a wonderful Saturday dinner. Fatima was so helpful in every way. From my call to book a table for two, to "a la prochaine"... see you next time. And I will visit again. We took advantage of the buffet that gave a great taste of a number of dishes. Everything was spectacular and the authentic taste of Morocco took me back to my first taste of a local dish in Rabat last year. When you go to Chez Fatima in Gatineau... try everything and definately don't miss the falling off the bone lamb.

THE BEST! Moroccan food is generally rich in flavor, and delicious. It is however at its best when it is homemade. This restaurant makes every meal feel like home meal. The owner is the chef, who is talented at what she does, very organized, and friendly. She asked us for our opinion to make sure we liked the food and had a good experience which we did. The atmosphere is nice and calming. It is fanily friendly, and can be perfect for business too. The decoration is on point and the music is well picked!

A long-standing restaurant owned by two incredibly warm and welcoming women. I was constantly reminded to relax and feel like home and I fed exactly that. During lunchtime, they offer an awesome buffet with loads of vegetarian choices. I haven’t had such a nice lunch in a long time. Thank you very much!

superb culinary and human experience, Im posting my comment a little late but 2 or 3 weeks ago I ate couscous with my little family and we enjoyed ourselves, we particularly appreciated the welcome from Fatima without filter and her generosity, we felt at home in Morocco, we did more than eat, we shared a warm moment with her and her team, we will definitely come back Kid-friendliness: my girls had a great time, fatima loves children

The pitiful restaurant with few varieties of lunch is too lazy to display even the most basic platters. The only edible items are lentil soup and limited baguettes. If you like lamb legs, you can go elsewhere. I don t recommend it. If you need to find a parking lot nearby, please park in advance. Plan well

One of the best restaurants in the area. I have been coming to eat here for almost 10 years and I am always delighted to eat good couscous. After so much time, sometimes the quality can be on the decline. But with Fatima, this is not the case. Its always a great pleasure to come and eat here. I sincerely hope that the restaurant will last for years to come, it will at least be a safe place to go to eat 5 stars well deserved

Nice little restaurant. Courteous and helpful staff. Buffet with a good choice. I give 3 because the dishes are good. Neither bad nor succulent; OK which is 3 stars. It lacks taste. Obviously, to please everyone who wants sweet food, everything is sweet even if its Moroccan. Its correct, well prepared, but it doesnt really taste like a spicy Moroccan.

September 22, 2024

Very bad customer service, very disappointed as The restaurant was scheduled to close at 10pm, However we came at 8:45 hoping we have some home made traditional food we were refused by the owner of the restaurant. To be honest we went to an Algerian restaurant just across the street we were welcomed and served politely.

Restaurant with authentic Moroccan food, with great quality. More than a restaurant as such, it is now a buffet which makes it better. It has famous dishes such as stewed lamb, stewed young beef, cous cous, and other dishes that we loved. In Dessert assortment is very good too, it has Arab sweets and homemade flan. The place has a very cute decoration! I love the details on the walls. The girl who works there speaks Spanish among other languages, she is super friendly and very nice! He is a very good person because he helped us with many questions about Canada and so on. They give you a jug of ice water with your meal but you have options of soft drinks or Arabic tea! We seriously loved the experience! Buffet price per person $35. Added to this are fees and taxes.

On Sunday evening the buffet was divine, the lamb shanks melted in your mouth, the chicken tagine was tasty and tasty and the 2 vegetable dishes were fragrant and comforting!

First time visit a week ago. The restaurant is very ordinary. Presented as family food. It is rather a buffet. Prices are not the ones shown on the website which are for delivery. Even the photos are not accurate. The food was not fresh or attractive. The couscous was rather spongy. The meat was stiff, overheated. The price is hefty for the place. Close to 100 $ for two persons. No service table. The fish never came. The one star is for the dessert. One leaves with the food odour attached to the clothes and body. Not worth the hype.

What a great discovery! There were 10 of us. 4 adults, 2 teenagers and 4 children. 3 vegetarians, 4 who do not eat pork. Frankly, that evening, I didnt want to eat Moroccan, I rather wanted a good raclette, but I followed the group to this little restaurant. We are greeted on arrival by a lovely waitress with a wonderful smile, very pleasant and warm. Madame Fatima is not far away and goes back and forth between the room and the kitchen. On the menu: All-you-can-eat buffet or table d hôte are the same price: $35/adult; $15 for my 6 year old daughter and free for the 3 year old. After taking a look at the buffet which is very appetizing, we all opt for this option. We had a great time and my desire for raclette quickly disappeared. The food is excellent, the choice on the buffet is perfect: fish, chicken, lamb, vegetables, couscous, rice, salads, soup, desserts... the tastes are delicate, fragrant and worked, you feel that there is something love in this kitchen. Madame Fatima, knowing that we have vegetarians at the table, also brings us a plate of fresh spinach cooked with sweet spices and lemon, what a delight! Homemade harrissa is also to be tasted The homemade desserts are fresh and not too sweet, the baklawas are a real treat! This little restaurant was unanimous: go there, you won t be disappointed! Vegetarian options: See my comment Parking: Easy parking on nearby streets. Kid-friendliness: Special prices

There seems to be a problem with the lack of restaurant culture in Canada. It seems that even the highly rated restaurants in Canada are actually not that great. First of all the restaurant is dirty. It truly was like being in a Moroccan street market. The spoons were in random places at the buffet, the clean spoons were dirty, cups were dirty, tables were dirty. Getting a clean plate was a lottery. Not to mention, they were cutting cucumbers at the very entrance and not in the kitchen very unprofessional! Service is like being served by your grandma. They bring stuff with dirty hands, and nobody clears the tables. It does not feel like a restaurant. Its like villagers trying to run a restaurant. They do not even serve the plates well. They just come with dirty hands and hand over the stuff to the guests without any manners or any protocol whatsoever. Most importantly, the food...it is not that great. I have tried real Moroccan food, and it was better than this. The couscous was cold from another day, and I even saw the waitress breaking it up by hand for it to look fresh. The only reason why this place is still open is because there is no other option, and people from Ottawa / Gatineau do not know better. Very messy and unorganized place. Not to mention its overpriced... should be 23 dollars maximum for a buffet. Disappointing experience.

Service can sometimes affect the dining experience! And this is unfortunately the case here. The food wasnt bad (3/5).Im not going to lie, Ive eaten much better Moroccan food, but my friends insisted on trying this restaurant. The service was really mediocre, and Im mincing my words when I use that adjective (0/5). You had to ask for everything, the water, the table, nothing was offered immediately or suggested... The glasses and dishes were not very clean and lets not even talk about the toilets. Ive never seen such dirty toilet in my life. Even in a gaz station, the toilets are cleaner... The mens toilets were passable, but the womens... Lord, the toilet seat was full of urine, hair and dirt. It was really disappointing... We were all looking forward to try this restaurant.

There was a vegetable soup, a good selection of salads, as well as chicken, lamb, meatballs and a couple of vegetarian options along with rice, cous cous and potatoes.

First of all, I dont understand the opinions, it makes you wonder if theyre the ones writing them. This is not good. The food is lukewarm, little choice. The prices are EXORBITANT! Its dirty, a mess and the staff are extremely noisy and disruptive. They dont let us eat in peace, they continually come to our table and its not even to serve us. We had to ask them to come and serve us or serve us otherwise they wouldnt come. They didnt offer us anything. It took 10 minutes to get a high chair for my daughter and then no one explained how it worked. We werent sure if we should immediately go and help ourselves. We waited for 10 minutes before finally getting up and asking someone if we should help ourselves. The staff is really annoying. They wont stop yelling and theyre in the way.

In my opinion, here is the good: 1) Friendly staff 2) I like the flavour of the tanjine 3) The mint tea is nice Here is the bad: 1) Food is rather expensive comparing to the Moroccan restaurant on the Ottawa side 2) Meat in the chicken has little texture and stale ... seems to be in the freezer too long 3) Not a lot of meat in the dish overall considering the price we paid. Will go back for a change of the normal food I have ... maybe in another 3 months :)

I love this Moroccan restaurant. The food is authentic and the owner is wonderful. She accommodates you and your guests. I went there last week and made a reservation. We were three at the table and two of us wanted to order the feast for two off the menu. Since the owner saw that we were three then she made the feast for two to three people. One of our guests had a nut allergy and she accommodated our table, so the food would not have any nuts. I definitely will go again and recommend this place to others. You will not be disappointed. The service was very good. The chicken, and lamb dishes were great. Also, the chicken pastilla is a must to try, but does contain nuts. Our guest who had the nut allergy couldnt have the chicken pastilla, so the owner made him a Moroccan style salad. He loved the salad and appreciated the accommodation. Her soups are amazing as well (very flavourful). All the food is made with love.

Very nice dining experience! You have to try the chicken pastilla: delicious! We also really liked the tagine with chicken, plums, figs and almonds as well as the tagine with chicken, lemon and olives. This was our first visit and it wont be our last!

My husband, toddler and I went there for dinner. Not only was the food amazing - we had chicken and lamb tajines with lemon and olives - but as my little one got a mosquito bite very close to her eyes earlier in the day and was distressed by it, the ladies of Chez Fatima took great care of her, offering ice, and some little food treats. We felt very looked after and welcome. Great choice of food and very convenient location and price. They also have a great buffet option for hungry customers.Totally recommend it!

One of our favorite restaurants in the area! The buffet is very good value for money, but its the couscous and tagines that are exceptional! I went there as a couple, with friends or for office parties. Always friendly service and excellent meals! We also ordered takeout during covid and everything went well. We highly recommend this restaurant, both to those familiar with Moroccan cuisine and to those who want to try it for the first time. A real gem!

Lovely and delicous food and atomsphere. However, they over charged me for eating in a buffet when I did not have a buffet. And were rude about taking it back. Then they over charged me with their soup (Harira soup suppose be 4.50$ they charged me 6.95$). Overall, a good experience expect for this. The service was just rude and ungrateful (could have been an off day for them, but this is how I felt).

We had the buffet and it was a bit hard to have a buffet when you cannot actually handle the food - one of the pandemic peeks I suppose - and the server knows little English. leaving that aside de food was awesome! the venue could be better but who cares when you have the best lamb in town? will definitely return and highly recommend!

The food was alright overall. Its not something I would return to eat again. You are at a mom and pops diner, is the feeling you get. Its not worth the money overall but if you feel the need to try it then go ahead. I gave them 4 stars because they are determined and friendly.
