Murray Street

My first review is a little locale just off the busy Byward Market in Ottawa. Charcuterie, Cheese, and all manner of delicious in-betweens, a great wine list and pretty good lighting make this a fun spot for some wine, cheese and a very relaxed dinner. The poutine is amazing - spatzel instead of fries, ham and goey cheese...ranks up there with the best poutine I have had (disclaimer: I am by no means a poutine connoisseur, which may be why I liked it). 

• Relish: Great charcuterie plate, elk salami, smoked duck breast, terrine and local cheeses, poutine and smoked fish fritters. All delicious. I would love to go back to try a main (or two, or three).
• Quaff: Good wine list - much more interesting old world wines that the new world selections, a fair number by the glass (20 or so), and generous pours. Some local beers, although I have to say I didn't pay too much attention to those. I had a delicious old world Rose (and will remember to note the name down next time)!
• Feel: Quiet inside as the patio was full and we couldn't sit outside, but a great vibe and a fun young crowd. Would be a fun place to sit at the bar, and I could see this being an extremely cosy spot in the winter! 

I would go back, and would recommend it! Great for a quiet catch up conversation, a meal with a few good friends, or to sit at the bar. Similar in feel to Starfish. 


Enjoy!
