Have dropped in here several times for lunch and have always been pleased. My last visit I choose the vegetarian – a very substantial sandwich (on Art-Is-In Dynamite White) which had a great mixture of fresh vegetables and cooked potatoes – sounds a bit weird but the combo really worked and easily kept me satisfied until later in the evening!

They offer a mixture of sandwiches and more substantial fare (fresh and frozen) for supper. Unfortunately they have stopped their lunch service for the season as they will be focusing on dinner and tasting menus in the winter.

This is a small space – “eating in” is not an option (in the summer they have some chairs outside). However they are located very close to the Governor General’s grounds so it is lovely in the nice weather to get take out and have a picnic at the GGs - although I realize this is probably not an option for another 7 months now!
