Ottawa Foodies

I just re-arranged my photos albums and found many of my food photos (incl. food I took from Beckta, Fraser Cafe, Perspectives, etc.). I have review of those before (I think) and I would provide review of this French restaurant.

We went to this place for dinner back in May this year. We went there because our friend told us this place is a hidden gem. So our group of 8 people went there to try their food.

It was a Thursday night and the restaurant was about 3 to 4 tables full. Only one server and a helper to serve all the tables and the service was a bit slow. However, it was okay for us since we enjoyed our conversation during the dinner time.

I remember I ordered their 4-course Table d'hôte, which includes soup, appetizer, main and dessert from their dessert car). All for $38+tax+tips.

- For the soup, I ordered their Lobster bisque (and few friends ordered their Soup of the day which was Cream of Chicken Soup). The Lobster bisque (see photo) was alright (not the best I've tasted).
- For the appetizer, I ordered green salad with shrimps (friends ordered green salad with sauteed pine nuts and seasonal salad with goat cheese). My appetizer was okay.
- For the main, I had halibut and hubby ordered duck. Friends ordered grilled lamb, or fettuccine pasta with rabbit.

- The dessert from the cart was alright. I picked the cheese cake which was standard cheese cake, nothing fancy.

Overall, I gave this restaurant 3 out of 5. But my friends love this restaurant and told me that they went there for lunch again. They pre-ordered the chicken dish the day before and the food was delicious and tasty. Obviously they like this restaurant very much.
