DesBrisay Dines: 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 […]

Where to Eat: The Top 10 Over 10 Ottawa Restaurants List

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 […]

Hear the crunch of leaves? It’s time for pumpkin-spice! Here’s Ottawa’s best treats

October 6, 2017

The world is divided into two camps: those who wait breathlessly every season for Pumpkin Spice lattes and their accompaniments (a season which seems to arrive earlier and earlier); and those who roll their eyes with disgust at the idea of Pumpkin Spice-flavoured anything. If you’re in the former camp, Fall is the season for […]

Hidden Stittsville treat! Redd’s Ice Cream opens up behind Quitters Coffee

August 23, 2017

A mysterious food trailer suddenly showed up a few weeks ago in the back parking lot of Quitters Coffee in Stittsville. Shiny bright and cherry-red, you just knew it was meant to house good things. And it does! Two weeks ago, Redd’s Ice Cream opened its serving window, scooping out creamy, rich ice cream made […]

More the merrier — Merry Dairy’s new shop means cool treats always available

August 8, 2017

Kids and adults alike have been “tracking the truck” for a few years now — chasing The Merry Dairy truck to events around Ottawa for Marlene Haley’s signature soft-serve frozen custard cones. Now they also have the option of stopping by her new shop, knowing there will be ice cream there every day of the […]

Get away to Gananoque, where even the familiar suprises

July 17, 2017

Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis walk into a 150-year-old former axel factory to refill their jug of lager. They’re not slipping into a bootlegger’s hideaway in some dry county in the American bible belt — it’s just an average Friday afternoon in Gananoque, at least when the show at the Thousand Islands Playhouse, a […]

Looking for a date? Try Bisou’s chocolate-dipped medjools

July 5, 2017

It’s a magical combination — the sweetness of giant medjool dates and the silky bitterness of dark chocolate. Bisou Dates & Chocolates is the brainchild of Paul Merritt and Maha Surani, who began brainstorming chocolate-y date ideas one morning over breakfast while enjoying coffee and a few dates. They started experimenting with flavour combinations and […]

Why I love Ottawa — Former Governor General, Adrienne Clarkson’s favourite places

June 20, 2017

277 Sussex Street When we moved into the attached house at 277 Sussex in 1942, it was called Sussex Street and had not achieved the grandeur of “drive.” It was the middle house of three attached dwellings directly across from the Royal Canadian Mint. One of the reasons I still love Ottawa is that several […]
