KOZHI
KOZHI
A short ride from the ByWard Market, Kozhi serves fried chicken and champagne in Centretown Ottawa.
The ByWard Market is Ottawa's classic night-out district — and when you want fried chicken and champagne instead of the usual, Kozhi is a quick ride west across downtown to Somerset Street West. Escape the Market crowds for an open-kitchen feast, or order takeout and carry it back east. We're at 820 Somerset Street West in Centretown.
Every plate starts the same way — brined long, dredged twice, fried hot — then finished in your choice of Gochujang or Ghee Roast. Come in for the five-course Super Kozhi feast, or order takeout for pickup at 820 Somerset Street West.
The ByWard Market is where most Ottawa nights out begin — patios, pubs, and the crowds that come with them. Kozhi offers the other kind of evening: a quick ride west across downtown to a calmer, warmer room where the point is the food and the people you're with, not the noise. Trade the Market queue for an open-kitchen feast and a proper cocktail.
It's an easy call for a group escaping the crowds, a date that wants to actually hear each other, or a post-Market nightcap of fried chicken and champagne. And if you'd rather stay east, order a Feast for Four to go and carry Kozhi back to the Market with you.
You'll find us at 820 Somerset Street West, an easy hop from the Market by car or taxi and close to the transit that threads through the downtown core — far enough to feel like a change of scene, close enough to still be a plan. Reserve ahead on a busy night and the table is waiting when you arrive.
The ByWard Market sits on the east side of downtown; Kozhi is a quick ride west across the core to Somerset Street West — roughly ten minutes by car or taxi, or a short hop on transit. It's a good escape from the Market crowds for a sit-down feast, with street parking and paid lots near the restaurant.
