Ottawa Foodies

This guy is the bomb. Special spices and perfectly cooked chicken that doesn't fail to satisfy. The limp wedge fries are a poor attempt unfortunately. But go for the chicken.

Sounds like this place might have to close down due to rezoning for development: www.citynoise.org/article/4291

Sure hope he can set up somewhere else if that happens! Places like this are real gems.

This place is exactly what one craves in the winter. A delicious, char-grilled whole chicken with a side order of plantains. Unpretentious delectable food.
Just walking into this place, you know the chicken will be great - the inviting smell that lingers is enough to make you return.
I ordered ahead and my chicken was ready to go when I arrived. Note: they accept cash only.

The chicken is unreal. Cooked perfectly, and the jerk spice is just right for heat and taste. You can get them to crank up the heat if you want it.

The couscous is ok, and the fried plantain are delicious. I have had some issues getting food in a timely manner, calling ahead and then sitting around for about 30 minuites... and i have trouble communicating with the staff, (i dont speak french) but with the help of some pointing and gesturing i was fine. Great stuff. Cooked over REAL charcoal
