Matzo in Ottawa [General]
2010 Mar 24
I saw matzo meal at Hartman's (Somerset/Bank) a few weeks ago. Not sure the extent of their other products...and in an off-topic-spirit-of-the-season aside:

Don't worry, you can get carp in Chinatown, I've seen monsters in the market just around the corner from me...haha. I am a gefilte fish-loving Christian, my Jewish friends don't understand what is wrong with me!

I know Hartman's has some but I think your best bet would be College Square. If you take the transitway to Baseline you can get there pretty quickly. I can't think of anywhere else that even comes close to rivaling their Jewish provisions.
You could also maybe try Nate's Deli on Rideau (Rideau and King Edward-ish.. across from the Bytowne). If they don't have any, they would probably be able to direct you to somewhere downtown that does.

Yeah, plenty of Matzo at College Square. But what's up with the price of Gefilte Fish? I used to pay around $6 or $7 for a jar a few years ago and now they all seem to be $10!
Any recommendations for specific brands? I like the savoury (not-sweet) style. I'd love to try the new-age kind made with salmon, if that's available anywhere in town.

I remember over Hannukah, I looked in the Glebe for a Menorah, and that was a fail, so I am skeptical about Ottawa's Jewish provisions.
Can anyone enlighten me?
