Ottawa Foodies

Good to know about the cheese. I just repeated what it said on the special board! :)

Oka is not Irish cheese. It was originally made by Trappist monks in Oka, Quebec. If I recall correctly, they sold the rights to a mainstream cheese manufacture, but I *think* the cheese is still aged at the monastery.

My partner and I had lunch here on Sunday for the first time. He had a Sirloin steak wrap with salad and I had one of the specials, a potato and oka (Irish cheese) omlette. We were both very impressed. The hash browns that came with my omlette were mashed and browned perfectly. Also as a side with my omlette I was given some very fresh orange slices and raspberries. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was very friendly.
