I would vote you as our resident HF foodie. These are all restaurants all though popular, I have never heard of. I will eventually try them all!

Their wine list looks like 6 different people put it together without talking to each other. Makes absolutely no sense lol.

That whole chain by the owners...I'd love to buy into that. Datsun. El Camino. Riviera. Shelby Burger. Giulia. I could pretty much only eat at their places and live happy!

The Butchery on Robertson Rd is good. Asked for flat iron, they cleaned it right then. "It comes in two halves, how much you need?" "Give me both halves as is, I'll portion it at home." said I.

+1 to The Butchery! Such incredible selection and the staff are great.
Also shoutout to the Beckwith Butchery in Carleton Place. A bit of a trek, but a nice selection... and they're right next to Deadly Grounds, which is my favourite coffee spot. Horror-themed!

Too slow entering the market imo. There are BarBurrito's, FatBastard's and Guacs opening on every other block in the greater Ottawa area these days. They should have broken in with Moe's (who absolutely squandered their opportunity) 15 years ago.
They've already lost their place in the US market with hard cuts in quality and affordability; can't imagine it takes off here outside of a few stops that exist purely on brandname and novelty.

Sorry @Micklebot I'm gonna piggy-back off this...
I love Laverne's - great cuts and the ready to be cooked schnitzel is fantastic. Is there a place nearby where I can get a reasonably sized amount of broth bones and not a restaurant-sized crate? I understand many butchers make good money selling scrap bones in bulk to restaurants and such but where does that leave the home cook?
Even cooking down a simple broth/stock will cost you a pretty penny these days. Go to Metro and look for the frozen beef stock bones lol. Scrap butchery pieces for a price you could once feed a family for a day not long ago.

With Ullmark being in the west end, can someone make sure he eats at Cosmo's on Greenbank? That place is amaaaazingNew goaltender Linus Ullmark ready to make his mark with the Ottawa Senators

Better idea. Get him and his family hooked on shawarma so that they'll take a hometown discount for the shawarma capital.

Have you tried Laverne's? Go in with a weight in mind and ask them what they can do.
Really you are better off buying a large box (20kg-30kgs), get a few roasting pans, a big stock pot, and go nuts and freeze the other half of bones for more down the road.

When on Wellington, or rather Richmond Rd., you must try a cherry clafouti from Mamie Clafouti!

I find most Ottawa bakeries a little underwhelming. However Maison Oddo in Gatineau does make very good pastries and if I were to recommend a spot that would be mine. Closest to a real french bakery I have found. I have also heard really good things about Levain Boulangerie. Will make my way out there soon enough.
Their "new" (more or less since the pandemic) location on Preston is very nice too. They took over from what was... IIRC... another steakhouse called The Big Easy?
Coming back to Ottawa for the first time in almost 5 years for a game. Taking a group of 9 to Zak's diner in Kanata. Does anyone have any food recommendations for spots in Kanata that have vegan/vegetarian options (8/9 of us are vegan/vegetarian).
Was going to take everyone to KS on the Keys because it used to be one of my favourite spots to eat, but don't want to drive to South Keys from Kanata if we can help it.
