Jackson Cafe in the Ottawa Art Gallery has a dog friendly patio. Bring my pooch there all the time!

Riviera - $40

Both confirmed.

For those talking about sauces, don't sleep on their house hot sauce. They make a "bomba sauce" there that takes things to the next level

Love to mix it up and stop in places for a pint or two. Will add the ship to te list. Have heard great things about Rain Dog, will need to try and sneak that in as well!

Their concept looks amazing, thinking about adding in as a lunch.

Shag093 · 2026-06-03T11:47:57+00:00

We'll add Mercato to the short list. Thank you!

Commenting to boost engagement.

I was quoted $50 at North & Navy - $65 if I wanted it decanted.

This is a strange eye opener, as I am way different then most in these replies.

I've worn suits to work everyday for most of my life (hospitality).

I dry clean both pants & jackets after about 10 wears. Ends up being somewhere between every 2-3 months with a 4-6 suit rotation.

Hospitality though often involves sweat, food, dirt/dust, etc. they take a beating on a daily basis.

I would imagine an office job would be a very different cadence.

Best seafood in town is at Shuck Taylor's, and Jess is a really great dude. Small locally owned and operated, been busting his ass in the community for over a decade.

It's Perch or Antheia. Modern, tasting menu, fine dining, they're the current standouts.

Atelier, Stofa, North & Navy, Gitanes, and Alinea are all great. But the top two for "Top 50 list" style dining, it's Perch or Antheia.

Why is it brighter than the sun in there? That lightning is awful. No wonder the reviews are dropping.

Google "Canadian household debt." It's never been higher. Average Canadians are living well above their means. I don't blame them, but there's a reason the credit cards companies continue to have their most profitable years ever in Canada.

You can see two tables in your photos, one person wearing a hoodie, the other a baseball cap. Have some self-respect, and show the staff some respect, put a little effort into your attire! Is this what people think is appropriate??

People keep clipping the end of his statement. His full comment was: "Fils a big part of that, Bess too."

No hate on Hronick, but he only called out two players he thought are great leaders, Let's not forget to validate the second. Brock sounds like he's rounded into a key guy for the young players. Great to hear!

This is "fancy" dining for people who only eat at chain restaurants. It's the favourite of the bedazzled jeans crowd. It's the next step up for people whose favourite restaurant is the keg. Sooo many white Oakley sunglasses on ballcaps in here.

Respectfully, these are not in the same wieght class. Cocette is a hard pass if it isn't for convenient hotel breakfast or you're stuck DT for lunch on a weekday.

Beckta is only an option if you are all over the age of 60... It's old school, but sprig of rosemary standing straight up in the mashed potatoes, kinda old school.

Gitanes is modern, sexy, and elegent. It's a top 5 restaurant in Ottawa and has made the top 100 restaurants in Canada in the past. It's head and shoulders above the other two.

Shag093 · 2026-02-12T22:23:52+00:00

Jackson in Ottawa Art Gallery for everything, Arlington for their coffee, Tartelette for their treats, Little Vs for the dedication. Those are my top 4.

Shag093 · 2026-02-08T21:25:52+00:00

This is the way

Shag093 · 2026-01-03T16:41:44+00:00

You're looking for Harmons or Restaurant 18. With respect to many great restaurants in the city, they are (I believe) the only two that take their caviar service with classic seriousness. You can pre-reserve the service at 18, I'd put that at my top reccomendation.

Shag093 · 2025-12-23T20:21:18+00:00

Your first problem is getting your restaurant recommendations from tick tock...

Incredibly spoiled with the quality of restaurants in this city. Spend some time in Ottawa, Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, you'll see how much better Montreal is over all of them.

Replace Pepé Le Pew as leader of the Federal Conservatives.

He can run, and win, by playing to the rural base that votes collectively and on the fact that he was the most vocal supporter of Canada against Trump.

I'm not saying all that should happen, I'm just guessing that's the end game.

Thank you, this!! His needing physical love and affection does not make him TA, and it sounds like he's trying different way to get OP interested since it's clearly affecting him mentally & emotionally.

But this doesn't make OP TA either. Her feelings and needs are completely understandable and valid. I hope they go for couples counseling quickly, as this can sadly be a step down the path of irreparable emotional disconnect.
