People say that Beckta Dining and Wine is a "special occasion" restaurant. Well, if they mean that from the moment you walk in, are greeted and sit down, to the moment you leave you are treated like someone special, then they are right! Rarely do restaurants make a customer feel that their "custom" is valued and welcomed, as they do... More

May be they were too busy that evening but the meal was not up to it's Four Diamand rating and reputation. We chose the 5 courses blind dinner and it was disappointing. No well balanced items. All the first four courses came with a sweet element that did not do the dish any good.Too bad, the chef did not pick-up... More

Dear Guillaume: Thank you very much for dining with us at Beckta recently. While I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the service and the wine selection very much, I'm dissapointed that some of your courses on the tasting menu were not to your liking. We would love the opportunity for a "re-do" if you would be open to it, with your... More

As suggested by a family member, I took my wife there for our first year anniversary. The food, service and hospitality were second to none. The portions don't appear big at first but the appetite suggests otherwise. Great ambiance and very good and complete menu. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert which just made a perfect evening that much... More

Unusual menu with wide range of flavors. Excellent wine list. The service was spectacular. Bring your $$$$ though. I will go again.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Beckta. From beginning to end the experience was truly wonderful. The staff at Beckta rival the best of any restaurant. Everyone is exceptionally professional, polite and attentive. They went out of their way to make sure that our day was one that we would never forget. The food was... More

I write as an Ottawa native. I've been to Bekta with friends, family, and date. I've been to Bekta about once a year over the last 5-6 years. On every occasion, I've been impressed by the service, which boils down to "Treat all your customers *very* well", with attention to detail. The food is always everything I could hope for.... More

I was excited to go to a gourmet restaurant in Ottawa. I have frequented them in Vancouver , Winnipeg and Montreal. I love and understand wine, so a restaurant run by a sommelier appealed to us. I had the owner visit us at the table and we explained to him what we like in wines and more importantly what we... More

Hi Red: Thanks very much for dining with us at Beckta recently. I'm really sorry that you didn't enjoy the wine that I had recommended when you were in for dinner. Wine, as you know, is a very subjective thing and when asked our opinions, we heartily recommend our favourites based upon feedback from the guest. Sometimes we mis-read what... More

Few of us ever really take the time to city down and savour truly gastronomic food and matching wines––in an era of fast food joints, cloned franchises and an often frantic life-style. We might also be disappointed even in finer restaurants if the choice of one course or of a table d'hôte fall short. For must of us, also, our... More

If you don't mind spending a little extra and enjoy the finer things in life, then Beckta is the place for you. I have a friend who travels from Toronto especially to eat here. She recommended it to me and I have always been surprised, amazed and full when I leave.
