Aiana Menu Prices Canada 2026: Ottawa Tasting Menu $165, Starters from $12 and Mains to $43
Aiana menu prices Canada start with starters at $12 and run to a nine-course tasting menu at $165 per guest. The Ottawa restaurant at 50 O’Connor St serves Canadian farm-to-table food with a seafood lean, and it gives you two very different ways to eat: a la carte at lunch and dinner, or the full tasting menu at night. Sandwiches are $23 to $29. Mains are $32 to $43. The beverage pairing is $90. All prices are CAD. Prices last verified: October 24, 2026.
Here is the thing. I like a restaurant that does not make you choose between fancy and friendly. Aiana does both, and the prices show it. You can walk in for a $27 Montreal smoked meat sandwich, or you can commit to the $165 tasting menu and make a night of it. Not many Ottawa rooms pull off both ends that cleanly. If you are weighing Ottawa fine dining rooms before you book, the Atelier menu prices page covers another Ottawa tasting menu table worth comparing.
Aiana Menu Prices Canada: The Full Menu
Aiana restaurant Ottawa menu prices in the table below come from two honest sources, and I am keeping them separate so you know what is what. The tasting menu prices come from the official site: the Summer 2026 “Smoke and Spice” tasting menu PDF and the official experience listing. The a la carte prices come from the brand-managed SkipTheDishes listing for the same 50 O’Connor St address. Those are delivery prices. They may run above what you pay in the room. Read them that way, and you will not get a surprise at the table.

What Is the Aiana Ottawa Tasting Menu Price?
The Aiana Ottawa tasting menu price is $165 per guest for nine courses, and the beverage pairing adds $90. Simple. No sliding scale, no hidden supplement in the official listing. The Summer 2026 menu is called “Smoke and Spice”, and the nine courses run like this: Oyster and Clams, Sturgeon and Caviar, Scallop and Saffron, Peach and Paneer, Corn and Harissa, Arctic Char and Berbere, Rib-Eye and Tomato, Pear and Nutmeg, then Rose and Yogurt, a lassi-style finish. That is a proper arc. Sea, spice, smoke, then something sweet and light to close.
Is it worth $165? Depends what you want from the night. If you want a tasting menu night, yes, in my opinion. In short, the Aiana nine-course tasting menu is sea, spice, smoke, then sweet. Nine courses at $165 works out to about $18 a course, and the room is cooking Canadian ingredients with real confidence: bison, Arctic char, berbere, harissa. It is not a quiet tasting menu. It has spice and smoke all the way through. And if you do not eat meat, the Aiana vegetarian tasting menu price is the same $165, which is fair. Too many rooms treat the vegetarian menu as an afterthought. Here it is priced as an equal.

Nine courses, $165, pairing $90. This is the plate the tasting menu builds toward: Canadian seafood, cooked with spice and served with care.
Aiana A La Carte Prices Ottawa: Starters, Sandwiches and Mains
Aiana a la carte prices Ottawa are the friendlier side of the room. Starters run $12 to $28. Popcorns at $12 and Bread Service at $12 are the easy openers, and honestly, the Bread Service sounds like the better $12 of the two: housemade country loaf, bannock, cultured butter, charcoal salt. That is a bread course with intent. The Black Walnut Green Salad and the Squash Soup are both $18, and the tartare at $28 is the splurge starter, bison or beet, with a 62-degree egg and horseradish. My pick? The tartare. A $28 starter should feel like an event, and that one reads like one.
Sandwiches run $23 to $29, and this is where Aiana gets fun. The Brie and Pear Melt is $23. The Pork Belly Sandwich is $24. The Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich is $27. And the Aiana Wagyu burger price is $29, on brioche with dijonaise, maple bacon, mustard pickles and fiddlehead. Fiddlehead on a burger. That is so Ottawa in spring, and I love that detail. Mains are $32 for Pumpkin Scarpnocc and $43 for Braised Short Rib with parsnip, carrots, black lentils, truffle and jus. Short rib at $43 is the serious dinner order. Scarpnocc at $32 is the lighter one. Both sound like plates the kitchen actually cares about, not fillers between the tasting menu and the door.
Two honest limits. First, the Dinner for Two listings at $70, $80 and $182 come with glazed Brussels sprouts, roasted fingerlings, tomato farro and jus, but the delivery listing does not name the dishes behind those three prices. I am not going to invent names to make the table look tidy. Second, the wine list on the delivery listing shows bottles from $44 to $135, with Sorelle Bronca Prosecco at $47 and Lanson Black Label Champagne at $135, but the vintages read 2016 to 2019. That list may be dated. Treat those wine prices as delivery-listing prices only, not as confirmed current dine-in prices, and ask the room before you order a bottle.
What Aiana Does Not Put a Price On
A good price guide says what it could not verify, so here it is. The seasonal chanterelle menu, with Chanterelle Toast at $27 and Chanterelle Spaghettini at $37, ran August 25 to September 8, 2026 only. It is expired. Do not plan a visit around it. The Ron McKinlay and Raghav Chaudhary collaboration dinners on November 27 and 28, 2026, a Friday and a Saturday, are a future ticketed event at $219 to $299 per person for seven courses. That is an event ticket, not a menu price, so it does not sit in the price table above. Desserts are not priced in the sources used for this guide either. If dessert matters to your night, ask when you book. Better to know before you sit down than to guess at the table.

Is Aiana worth it for a special occasion?
In my opinion, yes, if you want a tasting menu night rather than a quick lunch. The $165 nine-course menu is the room’s real argument. If you want another Ottawa fine dining room to compare, the Fauna menu prices page covers a similar special-occasion table.
So, is Aiana worth the money? For a tasting menu night, yes, in my opinion. The room gives you a real choice: a $27 sandwich at lunch, or a $165 nine-course dinner that actually goes somewhere. Aiana menu prices Canada are honest that way: $12 gets you in the door with a starter, $43 buys the serious main, and $165 buys the full nine-course story. Book ahead, arrive a little early, and give the evening the full couple of hours it deserves. A rushed tasting menu is the only real waste here.
