In addition to their newly renovated Glebe location, they now have a location at… Continue reading Quickie Nom Nom: Kettleman’s – the best Montreal-style bagels in Ottawa

Featured image: Bun bo Hue @ Pho Tuan One of the first things I noticed about Ottawa’s Chinatown was the immense number Vietnamese restaurants. We might as well rename it "Vietnamese town". It seems that on every block there is at least one, if not more, Vietnamese restaurant. It can get confusing since most seem to… Continue reading Pho Tuan: An underrated Vietnamese Restaurant in Ottawa’s Chinatown

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.
I know. It’s been a while. I was inspired to write on this food blog again after trying a few new restaurants in Ottawa the past couple weeks. It all started with Aaron taking me to Fairouz for my birthday. It is #46 on Canada's 100 best 2017, the most highly ranked of all Ottawa… Continue reading Fairouz: Upscale Middle Eastern Delight

You can have lots of fun just exploring your own city. And my city is Ottawa. Ottawa’s winters can… Continue reading *Special Civic Holiday Post* – Top 10 things to do in Ottawa this summer
Seared Foie Gras, Carbonara Pasta and Pulpo Gallego @ Navarra Restaurant.
Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. To celebrate the legal union of 2 self-proclaimed foodies, we embarked on a gluttonous adventure this weekend. To start things off, Aaron had reservations at Navarra - his favourite restaurant in Ottawa. Apparently, the chef, Rene Rodriguez, won Top Chef Canada Season 4. No big deal. Narvarra is a… Continue reading Top Chef
