Life is full of wonderful surprises. In the midst of my birthday week, my friend happened to need to give away a reservation at Atelier last minute. This restaurant has been on my list of restaurants to check out in Ottawa for a while now and I was more than happy to take over the reservation. This one-of-a-kind restaurant in Ottawa is #60 on Canada's 100 Best in 2017 (with a impressive standing of #19 in 2015). It offers as 12-course tasting menu which changes regularly. If you want to explore the world of molecular gastronomy, where science meets food, this is the place to be.

It is located where the previous Beckta was and Aaron was extremely intrigued by the fact that we have been to both restaurants at the same location now. He thinks it’s rare to have been to two different restaurants with the same location… Continue reading For a Special Occasion

We went to The Keg Manor to celebrate our friend’s birthday the other day. This location is quite special as it basically feels like you are dining in someone’s dining room. Of course, this someone also has a lot of money in order to afford to live in such a mansion, but I digress. Another… Continue reading Billy Miner Pie
