ottawa foodies

A work colleague will be coming in from out of town. He was looking for a recommendation for dinner on a Sunday night in the market area...

My favorite spot is Murray Street but I haven't tried many other good places.

I would stick with your favorite Murray Street. It's unique to Ottawa and any out of towners I have brought there have always been thrilled.

I've never eaten at Murray Street, but if I had one night to eat dinner in the Market I'd struggle to walk past Domus.

I love Domus but they are only open for brunch on Sunday if I remember correctly.

Murray street is great and if he is more interested in small plates and wine Play is good too and they allow BYOB on Sundays.

Play would be a good-tasty and safe choice (esp. on a per diem).

Either way, find out if s/he likes dining alone on Sundays, then (regardless of answer) join said-colleague and report back. :)

How about Smoque Shack? I'm constantly craving their jerk pork. Plus their atmosphere is incredibly casual; perfect for those who don't want something "fancy". I personally find Murray Street nice and casual, but I've had others tell me it was still too "fancy" :P

I'd opt for Murray St followeed by Smoke Shaque, but the pizza at The Grand has been great lately so if your colleague needs a more conservative suggestion that's on the table.

Upvote for The Grand.

i 2nd play - great food, sit upstairs and you can watch the chefs cook

I really like Play's service and wine list, but I've found the food somewhat uninspiring given how much it costs. I want to like Play more than I actually do.
