I went there on an impromptu date with my boyfriend and we were quite hungry. At first glance it doesn't seem like much, however as soon as we got in we were greeted. Whom I later found out was the owner ! We sat by the bar but asked to move by the window and there were no problems. They were quite accommodating. We got an appetizer to share. The risotto balls and they were so yummy and quite filling. We also shared a bottle of red. And didn't finish it so we were able to take it home. My boyfriend got lamb frites and I got the gnocchi with chicken. And once it all arrived. There was some freshly grated parmesan. I enjoyed everything and it was great. Sadly we were so full that we had no room for dessert. I love how everything looked and I liked that it's a family business and they're love for who they are is expressed through the taste and look of the food.

Pinelopi’s Greek Kitchen is an absolute gem! From start to finish, our experience was fantastic — the service was second to none. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every part of our meal. You can really tell they care about their guests. We kicked things off with the flaming saganaki, and wow — not only was it a fun presentation, but it was perfectly gooey, salty, and delicious. Definitely a must-try! Their drink selection was surprisingly extensive, with a great mix of cocktails, wine, and Greek favourites — all reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise for the quality. Everyone in our group ended up ordering pasta dishes, and each one was fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. The space itself is warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that balances a cozy, modern feel with traditional Greek touches. The only thing missing is a patio — it would be lovely to enjoy those amazing dishes outdoors in the summer! But even without it, this place shines. We’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

We were there with a party of ten, the waitress we had and the other staff members were terrific. The wait times for our appetizers and main dish were short. The food was excellent. It was our first time there, and our first time enjoying Greek cuisine, and hopefully not our last.

It is rare to be giving 5 Stars, but it is absolutely well deserved! From the moment of reserving a table (I highly recommend you reserve a table) to entering this beautiful little restaurant, to the service, table preparation, helpful explanations of dishes. Our server was excellent attentive and treated every guest with attentiveness! We had an amazing meal of some of the best cooked food I've had in a long time. Ingredients were flavourful, perfect temperatures, and cooked to perfection! Do yourself a favour, make Pinelopi's your next evening adventure.

We were hungry but were not in the mood to cook. So I looked up restaurants in the area and found this one. The restaurant was almost packed but we managed to get a table. The customer service was friendly and quick. We all had the Souvlaki and it was tender and moist. The Greek salad was delicious and fresh and the potatoes and rice were tasty. We shared Chef Daniel's cheesecake and it was superb. I also had a coffee with the baklava which was superb. Going back is a done deal!

Probably the best Greek food in Ottawa. Went with my mom on an impromptu dinner and the atmosphere was so nice. Food was delicious and I wish I ordered some take out for tomorrow! Can’t wait to come back

A return visit is required just so I can try more tasty dishes. Absolutely loved my mocktail and main course! The restaurant is cozy, with about 15 tables total. Nice ambiance as well. After asking the waitress her suggestions about both my drink and main, I was pleased from beginning to end. Capped the meal off with a decaf cappuccino which hit the spot nicely. I'd suggest making a reservation if you're considering eating here as part a larger groupz simply to make sure you don't miss out on this gem. Overall, I would highly recommend Pinelopi's Greek Kitchen as a must visit restaurant in Barrhaven for a satisfying, in-person dining experience; whether among friends or for date night. As the Terminator would say...I'll be back!

Truly, a hidden gem in all of Barhaven! Definitely recommend making reservations as this is a smaller restaurant, but the service is astonishing. I counted 10 people serving/management/busing for this restaurant and that was plenty.
