Solo dining [General]

Feb 20
Hi all. Tired mom of 2 here with a day to myself tomorrow. Where would you go to dine alone with a book? I live in Barrhaven andI’ll go as far west as Stittsville and as Far East as Bank. Prefer to avoid downtown/by ward market but centre town is ok :)

rdmsgirl My recommendations will be in centretown because that's where I live. Ironically my favourite places at the moment are all on Bank. My suggestions and links to the menus are as follows:

Donerma (Middle Eastern): donerma.com/

Go Gi Ya (Korean): www.gogiyabbq.com/menu2

Yunshang Rice Noodle (Chinese hotpot): yunshang.ca/web-en.html

Hanabi Japanese Cuisine (Japanese): www.hanabicuisine.ca

Dolsot Café (Korean): www.dolsotcafe.com/

Talay Thai (Thai): www.talaythai.ca

I also like East India Company on Somerset just off Elgin: www.eastindiaco.com

If you want to eat out in Chinatown I can recommend the following two places:

Rangoon Restaurant (Burmese): www.rangoonrestaurant.ca/ The green tea leaf salad is awesome.

Royal Treasure (Chinese): royaltreasure.ca/menu/ Their fried noodles are my favourite.

Happy dining!

If you mean daytime, i'd strongly suggest Wilf n Ada's (Bank), Chesterfield's (Welington W), Jak's (Bronson) or John's (Welington W) for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Great food, not too busy during the week, enough room for a book.

If dine as in dinner... Alirang (Merivale), Fairrouz (Somerset), Orto (Fourth), Hanabi (Bank).

I've done the solo thing at most of these places, no hesitation.

Enjoy your day!
