Signatures Restaurant

Ottawa


Housed in the historic Tudor-style Munross Mansion, this restaurant affiliated with the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu culinary school focuses on modern French cuisine, under French executive chef Yannick Anton. The lengthy wine list looks more like an encyclopedia, and the regularly changing three-course lunch and dinner menus are rich seasonal banquets of dishes such as slow-cooked lamb's thigh.
