Hunter's Public House is one of the best gastropub restaurants in Ottawa for brunch, especially if you want a strong option in Ottawa South.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Hunter's Public House has built a reputation as one of Ottawa South's most dependable weekend brunch destinations — a gastropub operating with enough kitchen ambition that it landed on OpenTable's Canada's 100 Best Brunch restaurants list in 2024. That recognition matters less as a badge than as confirmation of what regulars already know: this is a room that takes the morning shift seriously, not just as an extension of pub hours but as a distinct dining proposition. The menu centers on the kind of gastropub brunch that commits to Canadian comfort with some actual thought behind it. No verified dishes are currently on file for this review, but the concept and reputation both point toward a kitchen that rotates its eggs Benedict variations with enough frequency that returning guests reliably find something new to consider — which suggests the team is paying closer attention than the genre typically demands. Diners have consistently described the approach as one that balances familiar formats with enough refinement to justify the trip from the downtown core. The room itself is reportedly a proper gastropub in the best sense — warm, unpretentious, and paced for the kind of brunch where the table lingers rather than turns. Ottawa South gets less dining-column attention than it deserves, and Hunter's is frequently cited as a reason that oversight should be corrected. For a weekend brunch with a group that ranges from the keenly adventurous to the reliably traditional, the format here accommodates both ends of that table. Reservations through OpenTable are available and, given the 2024 recognition, worth booking ahead rather than assuming a walk-in window on a Saturday morning.
