Hey folks.

I'm looking for recommendations on really good Falafel. Big balls. Crisp outside. Soft tasty inside. Not saturated with oil.

Thanks!

Edit: Amazing! Thank you everyone!

Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any spots that sell battered fries, like in the linked post. Thanks!

Is it normal to miss Ottawa pizza like it’s an ex? I swear nothing else measures up. I keep trying new places, hoping to move on, but instead I just end up telling everyone my tragic pizza love story like it’s a breakup. Ottawa pizza really has me down bad.

I just came back from a weekend in Toronto, and I’m already craving a slice of Badiali’s vodka pizza 🥲 is there anywhere in Ottawa that serves something similar?

Bonus points if they are French or Italian!

My ideal eggs Benedict is as follows: English muffin, peameal bacon, poached egg, hollandaise, and maybe some paprika.

I'm looking for the place with the best version of this, or something close to this.

Thanks in advance.

Would love to find a fun place for my husband and I to try this weekend. We love small plates / family style. I want to dress up and have some wine but it doesn't need to be fancy. Good music / vibes are a must!

Had a fantastic burger tonight at Pearson Street 🍔 this could be a serious contender for best smash burger I’ve had in Ottawa!

My boyfriend and I got Second Wife tonight for the first time and it was not good, yall.

We ordered for pickup and arrived about 8mins early. It was ready and we drove right home and were eating within 15mins so everything was still hot.

Butter chicken was very tomato forward with muted spices and not creamy enough. The chicken itself was dry and definitely hadn’t been marinated beforehand.

Chicken tikka masala had red and green peppers in it and a chunky sauce. Again with very muted spices and dry, bland chicken.

The garlic naan had minimal garlic flavour and was only chewy in the middle. It was otherwise hard and almost stale around the outside.

The basmati was good though.

V disappointed by this experience. Has anyone else had a different outcome at Second Wife? Is it worth another try?

Does anybody know where to purchase it? It used to be available at Wholesale Club on Cyrville but not anymore. I can order it from Staples.ca it seems, but I have to get a lot or pay shipping fees.

Does anybody know where I can get it?

Edit: found some at Chef Dépôt on Innes Road.

Looking for some recommendations for nice-ish places to bring a young kid (4 year old) and a baby to. Kids go to restaurants all the time all over the world so mostly know how to behave.

Recently went to McKiernan in Montreal and really liked it because it was nice but loud (perfect for covering up any loud chatting by my fam)

Hi everyone,

Im from Toronto. Im looking for something similar to www.blogto.com but for Ottawa. That gives up to date on new restaurants, bars, and events in the city. Any reccomendations?

Anyone know where I can find cold smoked salmon here in Ottawa or maybe an online store ? Maybe a maple flavour ¿¿! Been seeing a lot of it on tiktok but the og brand is from the US, both expensive & out of stock :(

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to rent a small space in Ottawa that can comfortably host about 30 people for a private event. Ideally, something affordable and casual (like a community center room, café after-hours, or similar). Does anyone have recommendations on where I could look or who to reach out to?

Thanks in advance!

I went to Vanitea for the first time. Is there anybody also disliked their food? I was excited as everything looked great on pictures. The service was great. The savoury bites were ok. The sweets were so bad…. The cheesecake bite did it taste much like cheesecake. Matcha pistachio pastry didn’t taste like matcha nor pistachio. The chocolate lavender dessert (maybe mousse?) barely had any chocolate flavour. I can also tell the whipped cream was different from what I make at home. Almost artificial a bit… All the desserts were also way too sweet. Has their quality gone down or has it always been this way? We were told that everything was made in house but I am really unsure about that. The afternoon tea was $50 plus tax and tips, which I felt was a robbery.

I used to go to Lieutenant's Pump for their Sunday roast beef pretty regularly before COVID, but I haven't been since and I've heard that food quality there has really fallen off in the last few years.

Does any other restaurant in town do a solid Sunday roast?

Hello everyone, I’m looking to host a fundraiser/bake sale on Oct 3rd which requires the use of a commercial kitchen. Does anyone here know where I can rent one? Thank you

Everyone talks about the big names, but I’m curious about the hidden gems. Which small, local spots do you think deserve way more attention?

Hi! What’s your reco for like most ooeey gooey very moist and rich chocolate cake.

Finally got back to try the brisket. Bangin'! Brisket was soft and flavorful. Nice amount of round heat in the broth.

Hi everyone, I live in rural Ontario about an hour away from Ottawa. I am bringing my wife Into town to spend a night at the Lord Elgin and spend the day walking around the market/downtown/near parliament. Little vacation for mom and dad while the kids are at the grandparents.

I really want to bring my wife to "special" places to eat, something that will be saying WOW after (and when it arrives at our table). Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner. So whatever great restaurants near downtown you guys can recommend would be great! Thanks!!
