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…takeout & delivery will be available from our town location for dining in the comfort of your own home…AND our pantry & bottle shop of carefully curated wines, craft beers and fun spirits is also open and located at town for drop in thursday through monday from 2-8pm….we’ve got it all!

And it’s all just for you!

Wines by the Glass

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

Please note: As of April 3rd, we will be closed to dine-in service for the duration of the current Ontario shutdown….but we are doing takeout!

We’ve 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 here 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 bubble (max of 4ppl at the moment) OR better yet, book online. 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!

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 limited socially distanced tables. Our dine-in menu there 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 open the dining room here until things are a little easier to do so. Until that time, we have created a great little bottle shop with carefully curated wines, craft beers and interesting spirits for you to enjoy. There are also some great pantry and take away food options for you to purchase as well. Menus are posted weekly on Tuesday!

Should you like to book for 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…just give us a call at either of the numbers as well and we would be happy to provide you with some tasty takeout for either pick up at town or for delivery to your home!

We are happy to be back serving you again, either 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!
