Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Hintonburg-Mechanicsville, Ottawa

Alexei H. • August 27, 2014Great coffee and knowledgeable folks working there. Very good at offering suggestions when you want to try something other than the extremely tasty Babae's espresso blend.

Paul • September 30, 2018One of the better cafes in Ottawa. Can usually work from there. Internet is with purchase and the code cuts off after an hour. Can buy beans from good roasters

Peter S. • January 17, 2015Yucca fries and dip are delish

Lucas S. • December 8, 2011Their Bar Snack cheeses are AWESOME!!! I had a local blue with some kind of beets on the side...Amazing combo!!!

Celebrationson K. • March 14, 2012Soup is great. Shish Taouk, halaby, and sujok = yum. Also, huge salads.

Metro News • May 6, 2010A bistro with classic French touches: Try the intriguing, raw Scallop Crudo on smoked potato, then the classic Steak Frites. The lip-puckering, bruleed Lemon Tart with ice cream is a great way to end.

Nadège A. • January 21, 2018Had the rabbit which was a special for the night. Loved my meal and the restaurant overall but it was a bit loud for my taste.

Metro News • October 7, 2010People from across Ottawa come for takeout, a testament to the quality. Get the butter chicken: creamy, tender, perfectly spiced and greaseless. Naan on the side is essential to sop up extra sauce.

Pamela L. • July 9, 2019The bread is amazing! Try the sourdough. Espresso is great here, and lunch is always satisfying. Take home the peach cardamom jam to go with your bread.

Anne-Sophie • December 5, 2016A gem in Ottawa!The food was perfectly executed with well balanced flavours and surprising recipes. Everything is a must try. Friendly, attentive service for a perfect night out.Strongly recommended!

Rod C. • December 29, 2011The Seared Tuna w/ beet sunomono is a must try

Constantine • July 7, 2013Great service. Didn't get the poutine but friend did and was super. Steak frites great.

Roxanne K. • July 19, 2018302, 200. I really enjoy their pork dishes. And their salad and spring rolls are the best around.

Reena B. • August 10, 2014Yummy frozen custard. Catch this truck when you can - it's worth it!

Scott V. • September 8, 2016Amazing gourmet coffee. Awesome flowers too. Say hi to Kat.

Marla M. • August 12, 2014Chorizo pizza hands down is our fave, we get it every time.

Angelica W. • December 16, 2019Delicious and smooth gelato

Holly L. • June 8, 2012They make a mean wood fired pie here! Steaming hot & tasty. I'll be back :)

Michelle B. • October 7, 2012Fall awesomeness: London fog w chai and pumpkin spice instead of the vanilla shot. So good!

Angelica W. • June 21, 2017Excellent smoothies

don m. • November 22, 2009Sam is a fine cook - his soups are great. Jan is my favorite in the kitchen though - great cook.

Metro News • January 21, 2010Try the Cuban Steak Sandwich (fries could be crispier) or the highlight of our meal, a tower of chocolate mousse set on a drizzle of raspberry coulis. Yum.

Tony B. • March 24, 2011Friendly staff, fast service, and they don't skimp on the bacon :-)

Mark B. • March 1, 2015Their smoothies are amazing. Well at least the one with mango and coconut milk. One of the best I've had. Also enjoyed the potato and black bean soup. The decor doesn't support the prices.

Paul • September 15, 2014Had one of the best meals of my life here recently... Maritime Oysters, Salted fish fritters, and Lobster Waldorf. Lucky for me they had Beyond the Pales' Pink Fuzz on tap.. wow

Jes L. • December 8, 2010#61 and #65 both vegan, both amazing! Lemongrass tofu, with or without curry.

Rob • March 20, 2012Out of orange cheddar and Swiss cheese the last time I was there as well as certain breads.

Peter S. • September 12, 2016Fish and chips and Oaked up (larger volume) Beyond the Pale Pink Fuzz is sweet. And their new peach pie (real peaches) is filling and good.
