1. La Cabana Restaurant
Oh man, I heard there was a restaurant that had pupusas in town and had to track it down. I found 2 places but La Cabana was the one recommended to me.
La Cabana is a little difficult to see from the road. It's attached to La Tienda which is a…More »
2. Zaki Broast & Grill
If you haven't had broasted chicken, I'd say you should try it. I'm a big fan of broasted chicken, it's a type of fried chicken that's pretty damn delicious!
This isn't the best fried chicken ever but I have to say it's right up there in Ottawa and…More »
3. YKO BBQ Chicken
Does anyone remember the amazing grilled chicken place named Yre's? IT'S BACK!!! It's actually been back for some time but I forgot to review it.
The old Yre's was one of the most run down places places I've been to in Ottawa. The new place doesn't…More »
4. Pho Thu Do Restaurant
Alright, it looks like the old school servers here have returned and the service is fast and furious again!!!
Seated, order taken, order delivered, food consumed and paid in under 20 minutes!
The pho is still my favourite in town and I don't stray from…More »

5. Hintonburger
A few of us recently did a Ottawa burger showdown to declare the best burger joint burger in town. A few lazy Yelpers (I'm hoping they review) were along for the showdown. Our list included Hintonburger, Veras and Five guys. Our burger baseline…More »

Came by for another burger recently and I think the burgers have gotten better! The burger seems to… Read more »
7. Planet Coffee
I'm a regular at Planet Coffee as it has some of my favourite baked goods out of all the coffee shops in town and the staff is always fun to chat with.
The sandwiches, soups and salads are usually really good. I especially love this location in the…More »
8. Ahora Mexican Cuisine
It's been a quite some time since I've been to Ahora, so when I walked by today I dropped in for a quick bite.
My favourite thing about Ahora is that it's good and that all the food tastes fresh. The vegetables do not taste like it's been in the…More »
9. 3 Brothers
I feel like I could copy and paste my Garlic Corner review into this place.
This place re-opened a few months back as 3 Brothers and looks identical to the old place. It's not great but not horrible either. I'd recommend this place over any of the…More »
10. Casa DO Churrasco
Alright my first review for this place was not the kindest. I came in this time and ate at the restaurant where last time I took my meal to go. It was a lot better than my previous meal!
The rice was much better than what I previously ate and I tried…More »

11. Baja Burger Shack
After a summer of volleyball I had a chance to eat here more than a handful of times and had the chance to try a few items on the menu.
The baja burger was definitely my favourite item though I felt it got worse as the summer went on. If you don't…More »

I heard this was voted the best burger place in Ottawa and had to check it out!

12. Corazon De Maiz
The tacos are better than last time!!! I had to break my one a day review to update my review of CDM because I want more people to go.
This time around I had a chance to try the beef tacos and try some other hot sauces. Solid flavours. The taco…More »

13. Lois 'N' Frima's Homemade Ice Cream
Lois N Frima's makes their own ice cream locally which makes their ice cream prices slightly higher than other places at $4 per pop. I've only tried the vanilla and it's not a fair comparison to other ice creams as it's a very plain flavour to rate…More »
14. Royal Treasure Restaurant
I'm not sure what it is about this place but when they're "comfort" Chinese food is on I enjoy eating it. When it's not then I get a massive stomach ache and every so often I roll the dice!!!
The portions are massive and for the price in Ottawa it…More »
15. Glen's Chip Wagon
Glen's is located in front of the Canadian Tire on Terry Fox Rd and Campeau Dr in Kanata. I consider them one of the top 3 chip wagons in town. They have really good fries and a fantastic poutine. I consider their poutine one of my 3 favourites in…More »
16. S & G Fries & Burgers
What's better than having a fry stand in front of the beer store? One of the best damn chip trucks in Ottawa in front of a beer store! I've only ever tried the fries and poutine here and they are fantastic! There are 3 places I say fight for the…More »
17. La Bottega Nicastro Fine Food Shop
Since my return from Italy I've come here more often and really expanded what I use in my kitchen. I have really dug through this store and found a lot more items that I never knew were here.
- Deli meats are really nice and they carry local and…More »

18. Sausage Kitchen Fine Sausages & Meats
I never noticed this place until this week and was expecting a butcher shop full of sausages. Yup it's a butcher shop full of sausages! The shop is pretty cool and carries a large selection of European sausages as well as many other edible items…More »
19. Art Is In Boulangerie
I love this bakery!
However as much as I love it, the bakeries in Paris made me realize they're just on another level. The deserts here are still top notch. I really like the chocolate-almond and almond croissants. There were a few desserts with…More »

20. Broadway Bar & Grill
Gloucester, ON K1B 3V5
(613) 745-9898
This has become my default location for a cheap greasy breakfast when I know I don't have it in me to wait in line after a night out!
For $6.50 you get 2 eggs, home fries, toast, a choice of bacon, sausage or ham and a coffee!
Every place cooks eggs…More »
21. Havana Cafe and Catering
Don't blink or you'll miss it! The first time we came to Havana Cafe it was closed but we didn't notice it until we passed it. After circling back we confirmed it was closed and checked the hours out and planned to come back another weekend as it…More »
22. SuzyQ Donuts
There's been a lot of hype about this place and I remember enjoying some crazy donuts when I'm on the US West Coast.
This place has taken over the old Hintonburger space so it is still part of the car lot there. The place is still the same, totally…More »
23. Continental Bagel Company
Ottawa, ON K1N 9C3
(613) 789-5262
So close...
I agree with Vera's this place is one of the better places in Ottawa for bagels and is definitely better than Kettleman's. The bagels are also $1each if you get them uncut and you can get multiple at a discount! It's $4.50 for 6 bagels.

24. Tomaso Grilled Pizza & Panini
This place is awesome for lunch. They're always pretty fast and have solid sandwiches, pastas and thin crust pizzas. Yes I said it, another Ottawa place with pizza I don't mind. There are only a handful of tables but in the summertime they have a…More »
25. Di Rienzo Grocery & Deli
From the outside DiRienzo's looks like a hole in the wall convenience store. On the inside...it still looks like a hole in the wall convenience store!
DiRienzo's is a perfect example of never judge a book by it's cover. It's the reason to go check…More »
26. House of Georgie & Sorento's Pizzeria
WHAT?!?!?!?!?! GRAVY ON PIZZA?
I love gravy!
I love pizza!
How can I go wrong?
Oh right mediocre pizza and mediocre gravy will do that but at 2am when nothing else is around, this place is definitely edible. If you're sober...this is a threesome…More »
