Went for my birthday dinner and everything was fabulous . I can honestly say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, with soft lighting, charming décor, and a warm, welcoming vibe that immediately puts you at ease. It’s the perfect spot for both a casual dinner or a special evening out. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor—whether it was the fresh, inventive appetizers or the mouth-watering mains. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into every plate. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Wonderful service and delicious food. We did the limited-time tasting menu. All of the courses were lovely but my favourite was the olive oil cake with house-made maple caramel.

The restaurant has a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a night out. It’s the kind of place where you can truly settle in and savor every bite. The food was simply outstanding. I started with the tuna tartare, which came with crunchy quinoa, green apples, and shiso . The dish was delicate, balanced, and very good. Moving on to the antipasti, the Stracciatella with white anchovies and marinated peppers blew me away. Honestly, it was the best dish of the night—one of the best stracciatellas I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. Next up was the red curry squash with dukkah, pine nuts, and a thin layer of lard. The combination of flavors was an unexpected surprise—the squash, nuts, and curry came together beautifully, creating a truly flavorful experience. And I have to mention the ricotta gnocchi with corn and nduja. I love nduja, and this dish didn’t disappoint—it was nothing short of amazing. To top it off, the cappelletti left me speechless and was just as impressive. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The staff seemed genuinely excited about the menu, which added to the experience. The food was so good that by the end of the meal, I was already planning when I could come back. This place is a must-visit! Love this place !

Would overall rate it 8.5/10 - Service: Excellent, everyone was very friendly. - Atmosphere: The restaurant is very cute. The washroom is well-stocked (menstrual products, mints, lint roller) which is a nice touch. - Cocktails: The Jacinthe was great but, in terms of presentation, would be better served in a highball in my opinion. - Apps: The focaccia and whipped butter are excellent (I believe the flavour of the week was truffle)($6). The duck tartare with the zaatar flatbread was very good ($25). - Mains: Thought the amatriciana ($30) was great from a flavour and presentation perspective. But the pasta portion itself was tiny for the price. Would’ve liked more spaghetti (with perhaps less tomatoes to maintain the cost-to-make). The morels tagliatelle was ($30) okay. The portion was relatively bigger, but the grilled rapini was overpowering. The morels were good. - Desert: Enjoyed the affogato ($10).

Saw their Mascarpone lobster eclair on Instagram and left incredibly satisfied! Cocktails were excellent (Jacinthe and Dahlia) and the scallops and focaccia would have earned top billing if it weren't for the eclair. Will definitely be back soon. Emilie also provided excellent service with a smile!

★★★★★

We had a delicious lunch! The tagliatelle pasta with rapini and morels was the star of course. The duck breast tartare and burrata were also delicious. Everything was portioned well with balanced flavours, considered ingredients, and lovely presentation. Highly recommended!

Pleasantly surprise by this little gem located in le Vieux Hull. Cozy atmosphere, welcoming front of house and delicious food. The focaccia bread is a must and set the tone for the rest of the meal. • Highlights, the creamy risotto, the kale salad and the comforting beef cheek tagliatelle. Cannot beat well made fresh pasta… The weakest dish, although still very tasty, was the caramelle. The pasta was delicious but the sauce did not measure up to the beautifully crafted pasta bonbon. • Well done! We will definitely visit again.

Wow, what amazing food and drinks! Everything is a cut above. Had the brussel sprouts, and beet with fig appetizers. Both were amazing on their own, but their sauces were heavenly.

We loved the place. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. Our server was friendly and friendly. We loved the starters: choice of Brussels and foccaccia as well as the main meals: duck breast and fresh pumpkin pasta. The portions were generous and delicious. The food-wine-beer pairings as well as the desserts were not extraordinary, nothing more. We will possibly return!

November 22, 2024

A little disappointed... it was my 5th time at Caméline, a restaurant that I love in old Hull, we decided to opt for the table dhôte menu offered for the season. The prices were a bit excessive since we paid $74 for 3 courses including a plate of prosciutto, a plate of pasta (which was delicious), and a piece of cake, all of which did not equal $25/plate. We were also charged $8 for sparkling water, which seems a bit excessive to me. But the most disappointing point of the evening was the service. Our waiter didnt really know his wines, and took 45 minutes to bring us the bill, all while mentioning the fact that in normal times he should have given us out for the next service However, I have a very special attachment to this restaurant for the atmosphere, and the excellence of its cuisine, but tonight it was honestly a disappointment .

My fiancé and I came here for my birthday dinner two nights ago and I have not stopped thinking about how incredible the meal was. We shared both options of the three course L Outaouais menu, and each option was amazing, we loved the squash pasta with crispy sage. The fried brussel sprouts changed my brain chemistry. The portions were good, the service was perfectly attentive, drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and romantic. Even the bathrooms had thoughtful details like mints, a hair brush, and some other 911 items. I didn t want the meal to end and I can t wait to come back!

November 22, 2024

Update, second visit (June 2024) A second experience a little less exciting than the first. The dishes were good, but the flavors were not breathtaking. In one dish the beef was too salty, in the other the pasta was not cooked enough. The rating has been adjusted to reflect this experience. First visit (May 2024) We recommend and can t wait to return! The strong points (5*): - Top quality dishes with delicious flavors that will take your breath away. - Magnificent decor. - A beautiful vintage tableware. One point to improve (3.5*): - Table service.

Superb evening! The tuna tartare was excellent and refreshing, accompanied by soft focaccia. Guinea fowl pappadelle and duck confit tortellini offer a unique and very refined experience in the mouth. Very good wines. The service is fast and the dish descriptions make you want to try everything. Definitely on the list to return soon. Note: the photos come from the Instagram account cameline.restaurant Parking: Free parking for 2 hours on the street quite close to the restaurant (the same street)

October 22, 2024

We had very high hopes for this restaurant from the look of the interior and the high reviews. The restaurant itself was beautiful but too loud to hear the person across from you. We were sat directly in front of the speaker and the door so you may not experience this in other parts of the restaurant My pasta was poorly presented, like it was just tossed on the plate. It was also extremely salty, and partially undercooked. Focaccia was very good, at least. Not sure if we just went on an off night, but we left extremely disappointed.

We had high expectations based on other reviews, but came away somewhat disappointed. This is a situation where half stars for reviews would help as it was a 3 1/2 overall for this visit. Unfortunately our table was tucked into a corner next to the kitchen entrance which meant there was constant traffic streaming past us. It was arguably the worst table in the restaurant. It didnt help that it was also very warm. We were envious of those on the patio or near the open doors. The appetizers were nice but the mains fell short. Two people had the gnocchi which was tough, and another had the Pappardelle which she found too salty. I had the veal chop which was just ok and the broccoli was undercooked. The service was good and was well versed in the ingredients. We all agreed that we likely would not return.

My server was awesome and so was the rest of the wait staff; they even gave us both a shot when we advised we were underwhelmed by the food however food was really not up to par, especially with the price tag. Pork chop was dry and flavourless. Lamb shank pasta was also way off..seriously questioning if the rest of these reviews were real. Would have been happier eating McDonalds and would have save almost 200$!

June 22, 2024

Went here with my partner. Im giving two stars because of a few reasons. Biggest reason was that a staff member decided to spray chemical/all purpose spray on one of the tables close to us while we were still eating. I could no longer enjoy the meal as I could only smell whatever they were liberally spraying in our vicinity. Such a strange move and a complete disregard to us. In addition, found the service spotty. Lastly, I found the place to be very loud and cramped. There was nothing to absorb all of the noise. Wont be going back, what a painful experience.

We were a group of eight and were lucky enough to be assigned the table on the lower floor. We spent a very pleasant evening there, certainly one of my best in a restaurant. I had the chance to try several dishes from the menu (the rabbit cappellacci and the fried Brussels sprouts are HUGE favorites) and I can confirm that it is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best restaurants in the area, if not the best.

The restaraunt is cozy and the food was very well presented. The plate portions are small compared to the high price that is asked. A LOT of oily sauce but not much pasta. What angered me about my experience was the final bill. We asked for a basic bottle of wine that you can find in grocery stores. They were out of stock and suggested us another bottle. Little did I know that it would cost 73$!!! Also did not expect that sparkled water would be an additional 8$. Given how expensive the plates are, the water should be included! Also, inform guests when there are extras. It will avoid leaving with a bad taste in their mouths.

Excellent! Superb improvement since opening. The Focaccia always excellent, the smoked carrot dish was great and the price was perfect, pasta dishes clearly more thought out and developed than before, whether fresh pasta or gnocchi. Prices a little high if we compare to the competition of the same style and similar quality (Supply and Demand) but still very acceptable. We are paying more and more attention to salt in 2024 but in my opinion a minimum of it was missing to really bring out all the beautiful flavors of the dishes.

I could waste my time and say things like friendly atmosphere but I m just going to say that it s the place Gatineau needed. The quality of the food is incredible for a fraction of the price of a similar restaurant in Ottawa. The wine is hot, the place is beautiful, the cocktails are cool, the terrace is perfect. I adore! And the atmosphere is friendly

Bin there! You eat with your eyes, because everything looks good, and once in your mouth, you hope that no one is talking to you so you can taste in silence. Really super delicious. Unpretentious service and attentive to little touches. The cocktails and wine list alone are worth the detour. I have already booked for my party in December. Big shot, well done!

A truly wonderful little oasis in Ottawa. The menu is very small and offers a fine selection of dishes. Theres a bit of everything: rainbow trout, beef fillet, salad, but also raw fish, for example. And first and foremost, of course, fresh homemade pasta. The evening here was really the highlight in Ottawa for me and I received simply excellent service. The service is incredibly attentive and professional. I filled the ravioli with waxy yellow eggs and ricotta. A dream. The yolk was perfect and still runny when I cut the ravioli. The pea puree underneath had a very well balanced sweetness and went perfectly with the ricotta and egg yolk. The homemade foccacia is served with butter and was also quite excellent. Airy and incredibly tasty on top with a delicious crust with honey and rosemary. For dessert I had the olive oil cake with ice cream (gelato au petit lait) with caramel sauce. The wine selection is small but fine. You can find really exceptional wines such as those from Slovakia or Austria. Of course, they also serve orange wines here. Thanks to the entire team for the wonderful evening and the delicious food.

10/10 WOW THANK YOU AUDREY!! Having studied in the field and worked for more than 10 years in the restaurant business, I recommend this restaurant to everyone! Honestly our waitress was impressive, she was in control despite her many tables, smiling and charming! On this Friday evening Audrey gave us the description of the menu and it made our mouths water! I have strong food intolerances with alliaceae (garlic, onions, etc.) and for one of the first times I felt special attention was paid to my needs. Audrey took care of me quickly without any worries! The pasta is excellent and the orange wine too I spent a wonderful evening surrounded by my 3 best friends and this restaurant has become my number 1 choice in Gatineau! Thank you very much and congratulations for this splendid restaurant Dietary restrictions: Garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, chives

We wanted to try somewhere new for my friends birthday and came on a recommendation of a friend. We all enjoyed the atmosphere and fun friendly service. The bread is a MUST.

Fantastic find! The food was fresh & savoury, with a seasonal menu changing every 6 weeks. The atmosphere was happening think Montreal late night out (a breath of fresh air for an Ottawa/Gatineau scene that can die out early, even on weekends). The service was excellent and unpretentious. The chanterelle, sage and ricotta pasta was on point. Cocktails and wine were innovative and delicious. Definitely coming back!

Second time at Caméline and always a delight for the taste buds and the eyes! A warm and personalized welcome from co-owners Audrey and Alexandre! A menu renewed with the taste of the seasons, but the delicious Foccacia is always there and it is an essential classic with its flavored whipped butter! A wine list and imaginative and refreshing cocktails recommended by Alex, the expert... and what can we say about the great chef Simon Laroche, co-owner! Passionate, inspired, he takes the time to come and greet the guests, his cuisine is modern, creative and his pastas are quite simply works of art...little sweets that melt in your mouth! Not to mention the desserts... We tasted a sublime Pavlova... a cloud of flavors and what can we say about the homemade Gelatos, a balm in the mouth to end an exquisite meal! This restaurant is a pearl of old Hull and the region is blessed to have this accessible gem nearby! Long live Caméline and hats off to chef Simon and his brigade!
