Ottawa Foodies

This has become my go-to restaurant for lunch. Their soups are always excellent and they have an awesome sandwich menu, when they haven't sold out. I've rarely been disappointed, and then it was with the wheat berry salad (my first wheat berry experience, I don't think I'm a fan). My husband loves their wings, but they offer them only very infrequently. Staff is friendly, food is cheap for the gourmet quality of it and desserts are to die for.

I bought a Blueberry Pistacio Pate from here - $5.49 for a huge block. It was really good! The staff was very friendly too!

This place is great to pick up dinner on the go. They have prepared meals on one side (savoury), and a coffee/dessert bar on the other side (sweet). Their menu changes every few weeks, but they always have a good selection to pick from, usually a few veg options, duck, beef, chicken, pork, pasta, etc... don't miss their desserts & coffee bar either. They make a very good espresso, using Francesco's coffee! Mmm... overall, we had dinner for two, two drinks, desserts and desserts to go for ~$35. Very reasonable!

They serve FTO (fair trade organic) coffee from Francesco's, which is roasted fresh here in Ottawa. They serve traditional coffee and a variety of different brews from their fancy espresso machine. Delicious!
