Restaurant. The Whalesbone Group started modestly, with one restaurant on Bank Street in 2005. Since then, The Whalesbone has been Ottawa’s Oyster House. Our friendly and lively crew welcome a fun loving clientele who enjoy our renowned seafood in a relaxed and boisterous atmosphere. We opened our newest location on Elgin St. in July 2016 where we sell fresh fish, takeout brown bag lunches, along with our traditional (and delicious) sit-down dinner menu.
