IKEA Ottawa - Restaurant — Restaurant in Ottawa

Took advantage of the 50% off Thursday deal, which is now unfortunately over. The price has really gone up over time and the quantity lessened. I still remember you could buy 10 meatballs for $5 before. Still at full price it's still a decent value. Like all things prices must go up and Ikea is no exception. Now you get 8 meatballs, a scoop of mash, a spoon of peas, some gravy/cream sauce and a dollop of lingonberry sauce. It's healthier than a burger or fried chicken for sure. The desserts are well priced too, but I can't say they are the best I've ever had. I think they are all on the denser side for cakes, but they all taste fine. I like the cafeteria style setting, which you just don't find anywhere really anymore.

One negative is with the sodas. They increased the price from $1 to $1.5.

For what you get, mostly broken soda machines and/or super diluted pop, I really don't think that is worth the cost anymore whatsoever. Especially when it's no name or their own brands of low sugar soda. Skip the pop honestly.

Other than that of you never been to Ikea to eat, give it a try. Still a fun experience plus you can walk it off after in...

Disappointing Experience at IKEA Restaurant

Date: 14 December 2023

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent visit to the IKEA restaurant. The quality of food and overall experience were notably below par.

Firstly, the food presentation and quality were disappointing. The dishes appeared dry, and the portions were surprisingly small, failing to offer value for the price paid.

Additionally, I was disheartened to find a lack of options, particularly the absence of cheesecake, a personal favorite. It was apparent that the better quality food and desserts were being reserved for an employee party, which significantly limited choices for regular customers.

Given these issues, I regret to say that the experience was neither satisfying nor worth the money spent. It's disheartening when a reliable name like IKEA fails to deliver on basic expectations of quality and service in their restaurant.

I hope this feedback is taken constructively to improve future dining experiences for all...

Visiting to do shopping for family who was moving to buy some furniture and accessories for home. After shopping for a couple of hours and living just on coffee since morning, we were starving. Stood in a line up and registered for self serve dining. The line up moved fairly quick and we were given instructions what do and what not to do.

As usual the food here is catered to all Vegans, Vegetarians and with enough choices for meat options as well.

Mrs took a veggie wrap, a tomato and cheese soup and fries to share and I took a veggie balls, with rice and steamed veggies. Of course coffee as well.

All the food has the least amount of spice and salt, which is healthy for just almost all of the dietary restrictions.

The spice level of the food is below what I prefer, but I thoroughly enjoy the food. I really appreciate that IKEA takes the vegetarian and vegans in mind when they set...
