I've been discovering the food scene in Ottawa lately - and so far I've been impressed!

I spent four fabulous and fun years at school in Montreal, and benefited from many a parental visit to head out to great restaurants with friends. Although on a student budget, I still managed to find some favourites. I'm hesitant to post this, as the list is now quite a bit outdated, but here are my absolute favourites that I try and go back to when in the city. I will be checking with some friends to get a few new fun recco's for trips to Montreal.
