Where to Eat Now: Taqueria La Bonita

February 1, 2018

I used to look down my nose at Tex-Mex. (Hard taco shells? Salsa in a jar?) In the late 1980s I cooked at a Mexican restaurant that served the typical — enchiladas and such, your choice of filling. Growing tired of the menu, I researched and found recipes for thick, handmade tortillas of masa harina […]

17 Memorable Dishes of 2017

December 21, 2017

Chestnuts & Cabbage at Clover I ate this in the last gasps of last December, too late to include in my roundup of good plates of 2016, so it’s being squeezed into this one. There aren’t many chefs who can dream up a vegan dish with such complexity of flavours and textures, and plate, just […]

DesBrisay Dines: Black Tartan Kitchen

December 13, 2017

Steak on plates in Carleton Place was no shocker. Powdered foie gras — that was more of a surprise. But there it was, like a little mound of white snow atop a terrific pork terrine on a charcuterie board, impressive enough to have made the 42-minute drive to Carleton Place most worthwhile. Open since March, […]

More. Chocolate. Please. Glebe’s new emporium wraps bars in eye-catching packaging

November 27, 2017

The shelves are full of chocolate, the tempering machine is running 24-7, and the gorgeous new packaging has arrived. Chocolate entrepreneur Alicja Buchowicz looks surprising calm given that she has just “soft opened” a new store in the heart of the Glebe (829 Bank St.) at the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Alicja Confections […]

Where to Eat Now: Stofa

November 17, 2017

Ottawa is a gold mine of top-notch restaurants that serve seasonal comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere. I could rhyme off 20 in 10 seconds flat. At the other end, we have a smattering of destination restaurants — places you cross town for — where the dining experiences are completely guided by the kitchen and […]

November 13, 2017

We live in times when what’s new and hot is headline news. Bloggers, PR machines, and online reviews are relentlessly pushing The Next Big Thing in dining out — and, yes, I’m as guilty as the next girl. But what of restaurants with staying power, with pedigree, with a noble history? The truth is, they […]

DesBrisay Dines: MeNa

November 1, 2017

MeNa opened in 2014. Last year, the Preston Street restaurant shut down and papered-up for a six-month renovation. When it reopened in July, the L-shaped room held a longer bar and an exposed kitchen, prettied for viewing. The grey-brown of its rough plank walls had been whitewashed. If the tiles behind the bar weren’t white […]

DesBrisay Dines: Tamis Cafe

October 10, 2017

You need to look pretty hard to find restaurants that serve food from the Philippines in this city — even in Toronto, where the Filipino population is sizeable. Why, I asked my Filipina-Canadian friend Margarita, can I find Vietnamese or Thai food in every corner, and yet there are so few Filipino restaurants? “Well, that’s […]
