When it comes to fine dining during your hotel stays your mind tends to wander to possibilites off the property but at the Brookstreet your best option is right downstairs! Situated at 525 Legget Drive, Kanata in the heart of the Brookstreet hotel, Persepctives offers award winning cuisine with a level of creativity and culinary expertise that few kitchens can match.

A Kitchen Rooted in Craft: Executive Chef Konstantinos Kamarinos

Before taking the helm at Brookstreet, Chef Kamarinos built his reputation across some of Ottawa's most demanding kitchens, including time at the Ottawa Golf & Hunt Club and the National Arts Centre. The NAC serves senior officials, cultural dignitaries, and visiting performers who arrive with high expectations and no patience for mediocrity, and Kamarinos earned his standing there by meeting that standard consistently.

His approach to the menu is grounded in contemporary Canadian cuisine, with a focus on seasonal ingredients sourced from local Ontario producers and farms across the Ottawa Valley. The menu rotates with what's available at its best, which means the restaurant in June looks nothing like the restaurant in November. That commitment to seasonal sourcing isn't a marketing position, it's the reason Perspectives tastes like a specific place, not a typical hotel dining room formula.

The Dining Experience: What to Expect

Perspectives is open every day and runs the full span of the dining day, from breakfast through dinner. Weekday mornings start at 6:30 AM. On weekends, brunch extends the morning, with Sunday service running from 9:30 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., and Saturday dinner stretching to 10:00 p.m.

The dining room looks out over the Marshes Golf Course and that view changes the pace of a meal. In summer, the seasonal patio opens to the natural surroundings of the Brookstreet property. There's a specific kind of quiet out there in early June, with the golf course at its greenest and the hotel setting removed enough from Legget Drive and the business of the city that you could forget Kanata entirely. Most visitors don't expect it and the outdoor space carries its own atmosphere rather than borrowing from the lobby behind it.

The restaurant welcomes all guests from hotel visitors to Ottawa residents alike. Brookstreet has long held that the quality of a meal at Perspectives shouldn't depend on whether you've booked a room.

Private Dining: Celebrations, Corporate Events, and Special Occasions

The private dining room at Perspectives sits behind a glass wall and that design choice matters. Groups remain visually connected to the broader dining room while keeping their conversation and table to themselves, a balance between privacy and presence that's harder to calibrate than it sounds. For corporate dinners and special occasions, this room gets used to add a bit extra to the dining experience. Complimentary parking for up to three hours is included in the secure underground garage.
