Allium |
|
(Restaurants - Canadian) |
|
87 Holland Ave, Ottawa K1Y 0Y1 • 613-792-1313
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Almost from the time it opened in 2004, Allium has garnered raves for its friendly neighborhood atmosphere and reliably good food, contemporary but nothing too avant garde. The menu changes frequently, so you can be sure everything is made with the freshest ingredients. You might enjoy bacon-wrapped chicken with crispy braised ostrich ravioli, beef tenderloin with herb polenta, steak frites with chili aioli, or herb roasted duck breast with truffle scented risotto. Desserts are traditional and gooey: banoffee pie, crème brûlée, tart tatin. |

Ambiente |

(Restaurants - Canadian) |
|
18 Beechwood Ave, Vanier K1L 8L9 • 613-744-6509
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Stylish and contemporary, Ambiente has filled a niche in Vanier, providing a relaxed fine dining experience that can compete with any in a big city. Fresh market cuisine is the focus, utilizing ingredients sourced locally and regionally whenever possible, such as wild mushrooms, Alberta beef, and artisanal cheeses. The resulting dishes are uniquely Canadian, with a touch of French or Italian flair, such as Québec veal shortribs with foraged chanterelles, and steelhead trout with local organic pea shoots. |

BeaverTails Canada |
|
(Restaurants - Canadian) |
|
69 George St, Ottawa K1N 9H7 • 613-241-1230
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
There are few pleasures that equal the tasty sweets produced at this Ottawa institution. Indeed, the concession stand-style BeaverTail is a favorite with locals and tourists thanks to its superb – and aptly named! – deep fried pastries, which are smothered with your choice of toppings. Of course, the traditional beaver tails (topped with cinnamon and sugar) still reign supreme. |

Beckta Dining & Wine |
|
(Restaurants - Canadian) |
|
226 Nepean, Ottawa K2P 0B8 • 613-238-7063
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
One of Ottawa's finest restaurants, Beckta takes its inspiration from local ingredients but combines them in unusual ways, making the sum greater than their individual worth. A lobster salad roll is given added depth and zing with lemongrass, fried shallots, daikon, avocado and scallion-caviar aioli; a roasted rabbit roulade is dressed with a zippy Dijon-caper berry sauce. For a true sense of the kitchen's capabilities, opt for the chef's five-course tasting menu, an experience that's sure to impress. |

Description:
Chef Derek Benitz does wonders with even the most humble chicken breast. After cutting his teeth at several of Ottawa's finest restaurants, Benitz opened his own place, to much acclaim. As is the fashion these days, the menu changes frequently to highlight what's freshest in the local markets. Fabulous modern French-Canadian cuisine is the end result: grilled bison frites, heirloom tomato salad, herb-crusted lamb loin with ratatouille, lobster risotto, perfectly steamed PEI mussels with shallots, capers, garlic flower, lemon and crème frâiche. For a rewarding splurge, choose the Chef's Table experience. |

Hy's |
|
(Restaurants - Canadian) |
|
170 Queen St, Ottawa K1P 5E1 • 613-234-4545
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
Part of a small, historic steakhouse chain, Hy's is something of an institution, and it's a lovely place to enjoy a special night out. Perfectly aged steaks are the draw, with several cuts and preparations available, from an expertly charcoal-broiled NY strip to a more elaborate filet mignon topped with crab and hollandaise. The Cajun spice-rubbed ribeye is a winner, but one of the most popular choices is prime rib served with Yorkshire pudding. Sides include beer battered onion rings, fresh spinach or asparagus, and grilled tomatoes. |
