OT: Ottawa food thread!

[OD99]

Based on my single experience having one, the main difference is the sauce, which is sweet. On the pita, other than the meat, you have some onions and tomatoes. The sauce takes the sting out of the onions nicely.

That sounds like Romeo's to me!

Sweet sauce instead of garlic and it was more on a small pita, not wrapped up in one.

You are making me hungry! I can't wait to have a donair.

What about Pubs, your favourite local or after work spot?

 

[OmniSens]

Lunergans on Montreal Road, best wings in Ottawa. Excellent price too!

Fritomania on St-Joseph, re-opening up tomorrow! Can't wait to hit it up. Best poutine in Ottawa!

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Paréa on 10th Line Road in Orleans just opened. If you like Greek on Wheels this place will bring you to your knees. Easy tell for a Greek joint in the quality of the feta and this is

Also nice to have a quality alternative to shawarma finally. The pork gyro meat is next level and probably the best tzatziki I've ever had.

Couldn't recommend enough

Is there like a famous spot in Ottawa that you is a must go if you’re a tourist? Something that Ottawa is especially known for?

I think I have to put my money where my mouth is and fly down to Ottawa from Edmonton to catch a week’s worth of games, would like to make a little vacation out of it.

Depends on the time of the year.. Just a few touristy things top of my head:

- in the winter, a skate on the Rideau canal, maybe during Winterlude
- in the fall, a trip to Gatineau park
- in the summer: festivals: Bluesfest, Jazzfest, CityFolk
- downtown: the market area, parliament hill (when it's not occupied), have a drink at hotel Chateau Laurier
- museums: National Gallery, especially if they have a good exhibit in the summer, Canadian Museum of History (formerly known as Museum of Civilizations), and apparently the War Museum is good though I haven't checked it out yet myself.
- lots of nature never too far, lots of parks, lakes
- the restaurant scene is underrated, check out some of the recommendations in this thread
- nightlife won't rival Montreal, plus I'm old and boring now, so I wouldn't know what to recommend. I wasted my youth at Zaphod's but it's gone now.

If anyone ever finds themselves in Portage, Clandestine is a place I really enjoyed

What is the best sports bar in Ottawa?

Prescott for me

 

[Senovision]

The Prescott has the quart sized beer.
I like the meatball sandwich and the square sliced pizza.

Went to Savoy the other night, really enjoyed it there. Their happy hour specials are decent too - $5 pints with microbrewery options, $8 calamari/poutine.

Pizza Da Romolo is one of if not the best wood oven pizza. Right around the corner and significantly better than pizza nerds.

Had Heartbreakers over the weekend and that has to be top 3 in the city

 

[playasRus]

Heartbreakers, pizza nerds, and farinella are at the top of fancy pizza for me.

Toppers probably my go to chain.

Not a fan of Louis or Gabriel's.

Pita Bell Kebab on Carling is incredible, haven't been in a little while but they used to do steak cut fries with adana spices which were sooooo good

toppers is one of the shittiest pizzas i have ever had in my life. everything is low quality.
Gabriel's is not great. Milano's is decent.
Parma Ravioli on Wellington make amazing Focaccia style pizza. I think they only sell slices but when they throw it in to warm it up the bottom gets crispy and they use very good quality ingrediants for toppings. Unfortunately becayse of covid and lack of government employees they dont seem to make them anymore.
