Just checked out this South American spot and I must say I really liked the ambiance of this place! I’m always saying that there aren’t many places in Ottawa that are cozy and nice to go to – this place is a “neighborhood” joint that is really cute, cozy and best of all – has [...]

There weren’t really ever (and still aren’t) many good places to eat in the West End of Ottawa. The good restaurants seem to be concentrated everywhere else…
…Except for this little find (as well as a shortlist of a few other spots). It’s a fairly new place on Merivale that stands out in the likes of [...]

I thought it might be appropriate if i dedicated this Tasty Tuesdays posting to the new T&T market.
I have seen the light…have you?

This enormous grocery store is located on 224 Hunt Club Road. I could write an entire NOVEL about this place but I think i”ll stick to my favorite corner of the store…DIM SUM. [...]

After a long Easter weekend full of my families goodies I can’t help but to feature this amazing recipe on here. It’s called Ukrainian PASKA. This is a Ukrainian Easter egg bread – that is DELICIOUS!!!
Paska actually means Easter in Ukrainian and this sweet egg bread is a staple in any Ukrainian household – especially [...]

“Atelier” is a french word that lossly translates to - an artists’ studio. It’s also a boutique restaurant here in Ottawa that encompasses just that – it is an ART studio which features Food. I LOVE this concept and although I am a little ashamed that I have not been there yet (my reservation is made!!) I [...]

I’ve been meaning to visit this place for quite a while now, and finally got the chance! STeaK is a new modern steak house/lounge that opened in Ottawa about a month ago. I actually heard a few negative reviews about this place – but being a strong advocate of judging a restaurant based on your [...]

Of all the Pho places in Ottawa that I have visited (I’ve tried most of the Pho joints in and around China Town) this place sticks out to me. The atmosphere is homey and the owners of this place seem to really care about food and the happiness of their customers. I won’t get into [...]

This is a really unlikely place that I would write about but after a few visits, I have been impressed enough to recommend this place!
This is a family/sports/pub style joint located in the west end. You are always warmly greeted upon arrival and seated in a booth or table by a friendly staff member. Unlike many [...]

For this Tasty Tuesday edition, Idecided to do something special. Instead of encouraging you to check out a new resto, I want to encourage you to try a REALLY EASY and QUICK recipe for REALLLYYY good tomato soup. This is the PERFECT time of year to curl up to a movie with a hot bowl of soup!
What [...]

I absolutely LOVE sushi and I’m always trying to find the best sushi in town and so far I have found a few great sit in spots – but the ultimate take out joint is Kochu Sushi on Elgin St (Ottawa). This tiny place actually specializes in Korean cuisine as well as Sushi…And when I say tiny, [...]
