Restaurants in Ottawa - L'Oree Du Bois

So my overall impression is fine. The place looks cosy and inviting.

The starter I tried was salmon and scallops with a chive and beet mayonnaise. Unfortunately the salmon was so old that it was brown (so must have been in the fridge too long and not freshly prepared), which was a little disappointing.

The main I had a chicken stuffed with shrimps that had a delicious port wine sauce. I would say this is a very classical french restaurant that uses a lot of butter and cream. They are able to adapt to a few changes if you have special dietary requirements.

The 3 sorbets (raspberry, mango and lemongrass) taste refreshing and are a nice finish to a heavy main dish.
