Ottawa Foodies

Just wanted to clarify--the meatball sub is only available on Thursdays here. Each weekday there is a different sandwich special. I wouldn't want someone to get there and not have it available.

The Carp Bakery entry came as a surprise. I had stopped in on a Thursday at lunch to buy bread and the fellow ahead of me was ordering…surprise! 2 meatball subs to go. I was shocked when they were placed in front of him—huge and just $6 for the 2 of them. How could I resist?! The meatballs and sauce were bubbling away in a huge crockpot. Probably not authentically homemade but the flavour of the meatballs cooked with the sauce was darn good. The sub bun was good but a touch crustier would have been better. The meatballs were a little smaller than Pesto’s and Parma’s but bigger than Subway. Nice size to bite and required soft texture. The cheese was very generous but was cheddar not mozzarella—real cheese though, not processed. You could have lettuce &/or tomatoes but that’s not the way I wanted mine (not my comfort way and again too messy). This was a very large sandwich—I made it past the halfway mark but I wasted a lot. All in all, very good for the price and I’ll certainly make sure I go again on Thursday special day.

This place makes the biggest and best apple fritters I've had. I highly recommend people give them a shot. They are sooo much better than what you'd get a Tim's
