fauna is about the things we love: eating and drinking with friends and family in a fun space. Our menu is seasonally driven and we support local farmers and producers wherever possible. We love the neighborhood and the space and are so happy to be open in Centretown.


We like to have fun in the kitchen. We serve small plates so you can try more than one dish. We use local ingredients wherever possible. We’re inspired by where we live, places we’ve been and things we’d like to do.

    We go to fauna every year for our anniversary, and it is always wonderful. This time was even better. We were taken care of by Colin and he really went above and beyond to make sure our experience was special. The awesome food and delicious drinks helped too. We will be back!
