Are you a citizen?

Yeah, you're one of us.

That’s a good thing. CITIZEN tries to fill that space between dining, gathering, being, enjoying – living. When you’re into more than just eating, drinking and chilling, you’re ready to be become a CITIZEN. Whatever you make of it, make it the most.

At this time we’re making the most of it too…our CITIZEN dining room and patio are now OPEN for reservations at resy.com (or see our resy button below!) and for walk-in traffic!

AND town is a great little pantry & bottle shop of carefully curated wines, craft beers, fun spirits and take away foods….we’ve got it all!

And it’s all just for you!

Make it your own. (Whenever it works for you.)

Please note:  We are now open for distanced indoor dining at our CITIZEN location and on our patio. Please feel free to make a reservation at resy.com, by phone or just walk on by…we’ll be happy to have you. Currently, our patio is not tented but does have a limited number of heaters. Reservations for the patio can be weather dependant so please take this into consideration when making a booking. We do try to move reservations inside if the weather turns, but we can not guarantee there will be room.

As of Wed Sept 22nd the Government of Ontario has initiated a vaccine passport mandate. All guest dining inside over the age of 12 are required to show proof of double vaccination (administered at least 14 days prior to dining in) as well as proof of identification or have a valid exemption letter from an approved medical professional.

In our sister restaurant town we’ve created a great little bottle shop there with curated wines, craft beers and interesting spirits until distancing is no longer required.

We’ve also set up a shop online (see the link up and to the left!) where you can order take-away dinners, a selection of our fantastic pantry items, all the great drinks you could need, merchandise and gift certificates for future use. Treat a friend, your family, or yourself — we can’t wait to see you again.

Around the corner. Literally.

Actually around the corner from town., CITIZEN shares a kitchen and our community with locals and far-from-locals alike.

No, it wasn’t part of some master plan, but if we had to take the block, CITIZEN would be a great 2nd step. With the triumph of town., we knew we wanted to do something more – something different. And, as it happens, it was a good decision….with all that is happening today, it is allowing us some extra flexibility to offer you various dining options. Even though we can’t have as many cooks in the kitchen as we are use to in order to run two separate menus, it is allowing us to offer dine-in (when possible) here at CITIZEN that would be difficult at town due to it long narrow space. We really do enjoy seeing your smiling (if masked) faces come through the door to dine with us, so we are very happy to have this additional space!

Walk in with your family or your close friends OR better yet, book online for either our patio or dine-in. When you’re a CITIZEN, you make the rules.

Looking for a private event? We are hoping to offer this as an option again soon…please feel free to send us a email with the all the details and we can discuss your particular options when allowed!

Come on in

Hi. Hungry?

Our patio as well as dine-in at our CITIZEN location is now OPEN!

Due to it’s small interior size, until distancing restrictions are lifted, town will remain our bottle shop! Carefully curated wines, craft beers and tasty spirits…come take a look…we’d be happy to help!

That’s town.

Hints

Dealing with our new reality! 

At this time, we’d be more than happy to serve you in our CITIZEN dining room (right around the corner from town) at distanced tables or on one of our small patios! Our dine-in/patio menu is a unique combination of both town and CITIZEN classics, as well as new innovative dishes from our talented kitchen team. It is always changing, so there is something for everyone!

Due to the nature of town’s long narrow space, we’ve decided to wait on opening the dining room here until distancing between tables is no longer required. Until that time, we have created a great little bottle shop with carefully curated wines, craft beers and interesting spirits for you to enjoy.

Currently, we are only taking reservation for our patio and inside dining at CITIZEN. Please book online at resy or give us a call at 613-695-8696 or 613-422-6505 and we’d be happy to book you in!

If you would prefer to dine at home, no problem…items from our pantry can be preordered from our online store for a scheduled pick up or if you want to order from our dine in/patio menu, just give us a call at the above numbers during service hours and if the kitchen can handle it, we are more than happy to provide you with some tasty takeout!

We are so happy to be back serving you again, either on our patio, inside dining at CITIZEN, at our bottle shop at town or from the comfort of your own home…we really missed you. We are so thankful for all your support during this transitional time!
