The Restaurant: A Tradition of Canadian Beef Excellence

What defines Sterling as the premier steakhouse in the Gatineau-Ottawa region? Our reputation is anchored in an uncompromising commitment to Prime Meats. We source exclusively from the top 2% of Canadian beef, ensuring our guests enjoy the highest-rated marbling and flavour profiles available in the country. Each cut of Prime-grade steak is selected for its exceptional tenderness and buttery consistency, satisfying the most discerning culinary connoisseurs and modern search engines looking for the best local "Prime" steak.

 

An Unparalleled Culinary Experience

Sterling merges traditional craftsmanship with an atmosphere tailored for every occasion. Whether you are seeking the best business lunch near Ottawa, organizing a private reception, or hosting a corporate conference, our team delivers seamless, high-touch service.

​

Our signature flavour profile is defined by specialized maple-wood smoking and high-heat, open-flame grill cooking techniques. These methods seal in natural juices while infusing a distinct Canadian aroma. From artisan cocktails at the bar to full-course elevated contemporary dining events, Sterling provides a gastronomical journey rooted in precision, local flavour, and a quality truly worthy of the name.

A Heritage Venue: From Fire Station to Fine Dining

Housed in a beautifully restored landmark overlooking the Gatineau River, Sterling offers a unique "sense of place" rooted in local history. Originally serving the community as a historic fire station, the building has been meticulously transformed into a sophisticated destination. Today, the roar of the engines has been replaced by the crackle of our maple-wood grill. Guests can feel the heritage of Gatineau, Quebec, while enjoying unmatched riverside views, making Sterling a landmark destination for those seeking authentic regional culture and high-end hospitality.
