I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
We met up with some friends recently in Manotick for some dinner at the Black Dog Bistro. It was our first time here but it’s a favourite of our friends who live near the area. Location/Ambience Black Dog Bistro is located in the cute town of Manotick. There was limited parking in their dedicated lot… Continue reading Black Dog Bistro
We finally had the chance to visit THRU, a "concept restaurant" within Atelier. I had such a fun time at Atelier that I’ve been meaning to come back to check out this new addition. I had heard that it was almost impossible to get tickets. Apparently it is usually sold out the moment the tickets… Continue reading THRU: A One-of-a-Kind Dining Experience
We recently checked out a new brunch spot in Ottawa - Eldon's. This restaurant replaced Pomeroy House, which we have previously blogged about (RIP). Eldon’s prides itself on serving local ingredients and create zero food-waste which means they change their menu depending on which ingredients are seasonal and available. Location/Ambience It is located in the… Continue reading Eldon’s
Those who have been reading this blog probably are aware that I am a huge fan of Korean food. I often get Korean food cravings and recently, I’ve really been enjoying Table Sodam. Location/Ambience This is a relatively new restaurant in Old Ottawa South. They started as a catering business called Table 85 on Bronson… Continue reading Table Sodam: A Cute Korean Establishment in Old Ottawa South
My brother recently came to visit us in Ottawa and since he is also an avid craft beer lover, we had to bring him on a local brewery tour. A little background: in the past, I was not at all into beer. Then I met Aaron and now I enjoy the strongest, hoppiest New England… Continue reading Ottawa Self-Led Brewery Tour

Here is a list of the ones still ongoing and what we thought about each of them. Alight at Night Where: Upper… Continue reading Ottawa Holiday Events Guide 2019
When I first moved to Ottawa, the only local coffee shop around was Bridgehead. Over the years, Ottawa has become hipster coffee shop central. My friend, who is quite the coffee connoisseur visited Ottawa earlier this year, so I brought him coffee shop hopping around town. Here are the list of the ones we tried… Continue reading Coffee Shop Tour in Ottawa
Note: This is an update on a previous post from 2018. Updated information has been italicized. As much as I would love to eat out all the time to try all the nom noms in town, we try to cook at home most days of the week. It can get very difficult and tedious at… Continue reading Meal Kit Delivery Comparison: Chefs Plate vs. Goodfood vs. HelloFresh (Updated October 2019)
The other night, we met up with some fellow food-loving friends for an evening of catching up. We decided to try Citizen. Aaron was the only one who has been to this restaurant before and he quite enjoyed his last experience. At that time, they had a guest chef, so the menu was very different.… Continue reading Citizen: A Lovely Night Out with Friends
Some weeks, we know we will be so busy that we will not have time to cook. Even meal delivery kits (where all our meal planning and grocery shopping is done for us) seem too much. Instead of relying on traditional fast food delivery or take-out, we opt for Red Apron during these weeks. Ordering… Continue reading Red Apron: Gourmet Fresh Meal Delivery
