Ottawa Foodies

We went here Friday night for dinner. I was weary because there weren't many reviews on here. But I wasn't disappointed!

We received a warm welcome and were told by our server that all the foods were made by hand, from scratch. No preservatives.

We ordered latkes to start; Mr. Nanookie ordered Beef Pierogies, while I had the Classic Veal Wiener Schnitzel served with spatzle, and the house soup, which was Leek. The servings were generous, tasty and hot! My Schnitzel came with vegetables. The pierogies looked great.

There is no beer list as it changes and there are many to choose from. Our server chose our beers based on what our beer preferences were.

The service was a little slow, but that's due to the fact that the food is made by hand, and made to order. If you're not on a timetable (like needing to make a movie, like we were!) then you'll have a great time.

I went here a few nights ago with a group. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered a side of mushroom & sauerkraut pierogies, which were not too outstanding.

Main dishes comes with spatzle, which are little strips of creamy-like pasta. They have the rare find of wild boar on the menu. Their Borscht soup is excellent, according to one of my friends. They offer fresh cherry and cranberry juices and specialty Eastern European wines also. Cakes and tortes are baked on-site.

Service was very friendly and attentive. We accidentally stayed an hour after they closed and they were still accommodating to us!

I was here, and I was reading over the menu, and I recall seeing Caviar... when I came to this site, I saw it was "desperately seeked" .. you may want to call to double check, and if they dont have it - feel free to delete this post and connection.
