#FoodieFriday

This past June however, a little powerhouse on Elgin Street celebrated its crystal anniversary. I’m of course referring to Town — the homey, cozy, funky little joint beloved by many Ottawa foodies.

On bustling Bank Street in the Glebe, The St. Rita offers something rare in Ottawa’s food scene: a restaurant that feels less like an outing and more like an invitation to a family dinner.

When you walk into the brightly coloured storefront of Baguette Brochette on Bank Street, the first thing you notice is the smell of spiced, grilled meat and fresh baked bread. If that doesn’t make you hungry, nothing will. The West African eatery opened earlier this spring at 222 Bank St., right in the heart of Centretown, which was all part of owner Oumar Dicko’s strategy to bring the flavours of his heritage to the people of Ottawa.

Three local women shaping Ottawa’s beverage culture are featured in this week’s Foodie Friday.

Bars can be more than just a place to grab a drink. They can be a place to catch up and spend time with friends old and new. Ottawa has no shortage of fantastic bars to sip a drink at, but Ward 14 Consignment Bar on Preston is unique for many reasons. Since September of 2016, Ward (as it’s colloquially known among patrons) has served drinks to thirsty friends and neighbours and served as a place for owner Max Anisman to house his carefully curated collection of vintage goods.

Ceasar Rosa’s U-Rock Cafe is a new edgy coffee shop with a warm small-town vibe in the Hintonburg strip.

When it comes to vegan dining here in Ottawa, there really isn’t a lot of choice. There are places with vegan options, some with even a handful of dishes, but an exclusively vegan restaurant is hard to come by.
