Restaurants in Ottawa - Play

A lot of the restaurants in the market area are very touristy, however this is one that stands out and is good. They pay attention to detail regarding flavours and are able to cater really well to allergies since they make everything fresh. The dishes are all small dishes, so in the spirit of tapas.

We tried the:

-sweet mama squash soup / crispy leeks 8 CAD

-erie pickerel / cumin butter / succotash / jalapeno 14 CAD

-grilled zucchini / bocconcini / bacon / olive / walnut 12 CAD

The Erie pickerel had a great red tomato salsa. I noticed that the chef used lime zest which completed the flavour. Often restaurants use a lot of lime, but if one uses a little lime zest one gets the strong flavour without the sourness.

What was relatively good value for money was the Klosterneuburg white wine from Austria.

I would recommend this place. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Ottawa.
