Restaurants Ottawa - Wild Oats


This is a great place especially for people that are a little health conscious. All the ingredients they use are fresh, organic and they chose to use healthy alternatives to white flour and refined sugar. Plus the staff are super friendly which makes it a very welcoming and chilled place to be.

Their Oaxaca sandwich is delicious 6.25 CAD. Their crepes are made with spelt flour and rice milk. A simple crepe with butter and maple syrup costs 4.50 CAD. They have a little shop next door which belongs to the cafe. You can chose some drinks from the shop and have them in the cafe.

For those who look for cafes with wireless, this place has wireless internet as of 15:00. They are open till 8pm an all days except Sunday where they close at 6pm, so it is more of a breakfast or lunch place.

Restaurants Chicago - Cafe Spiaggia (recommendable)


Cafe Spiaggia is located conveniently at the end of of Michigan avenue - the main shopping area in Chicago.

Great classic Italian dishes. It is not cheap, but the waiters are very friendly and attentive. Charming setting!

The Wood roasted mushrooms with yellow polenta were delicious. The butternut squash filled pasta with brown butter, sage and Parmigiano is also worth trying - a nice blend of light flavours. The Arctic Char with braised lentils - maybe it is a matter of taste, but in our opinion the lentils did not fit so well with the fish.

They have an extensive wine list. Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut - light, dry, approachable and good value for money in a Restaurant.

Our overall impression was great.

Approximately $45 per person excluding wine.
