Health Inspection [General]

2009 Jul 16
New to Ottawa Foodies (I am more of a Restaurant Thing follower) however the forms here are a bit better for simple discussion.

Anyhow. Not sure if it has been mentioned before... but you can now see city of Ottawa health inspections online. Take a look at your fav spots, you might be a bit shocked (I know I was).

Hi Yroc,

you bet we've discussed the health inspections before!!

ottawafoodies.com/forum/1741

That said, I would like to take this opportunity to remind folks that it is only the most recent inspection that is posted and that inspections can occur in a period of anywhere from monthly to quarterly. Also, the cleanliness of the place doesn't always indicate the food quality.

Older ones remain posted in fact.

I have asked the city to allow us a better search options and suggest you request the same.

Critical infractions matter most, but non critical infractions on an ongoing basis tell you something about how much they care .. at least imo. Mexis on bank being a perfect example of this in that they get the same (dirty) infractions each time.
