This is one of my favourite restaurants in all of Canada. They've been in the news lately with reports that the restaurant is for sale. If this is the case, I earnestly hope it remains in Canadian hands!

Having said that, I can add that the cozy…More »

This marvellous and historic hotel is celebrating its 100th birthday. They had a sale on rooms @ $19 per night (or some such rediculously low price!) - but you had to line up on a Thursday (I work during the day - so no good for me), and the stay was…More »

I love this place!

Finally! A Canadian restaurant that's still Canadian, and it's so full of history! The original LaPointe's opened before Canada was a country. The Kanata restaurant has more ambiance than the one in Bell's corners. The food is good…More »

I really like this place! Large and bright, their menu is a pleasant change from the run of the mill: from great lattes to omelette crepes and gellato. They also offer a small variety of deserts. I will go back again and again.
