Ottawa has a bad reputation. People say it's boring, blend and a tourist-trap for people yearning to see the Parliament. I couldn't disagree more. I used to hate it as a child, but now it is one of my favourite places to spend a weekend away. There is so much to do. In fact, I haven't been to the Parliament in over 10 years. Ottawa hosts all of Canada's National Museums (except the National Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg) and has a growing "hipster" community. This wave of change has brought with it a renewed creativity in Ottawa's food scene. There are staples that have been around for generations, and then there are the new, cool up-and-comers. I shall share here my favourite places to eat in our dear capital, and hopefully, some of you will rethink your opinion of this small but abundant city. Stoneface Dolly’s
416 Preston St. Right in the middle of the Italian neighbourhood lies one of the world's best restaurant according to yours truly. Stoneface Dolly’s has now been around for 18 years. It was founded by Bob Russell, the loveliest of gentleman which still works almost every day at the restaurant. He grew up in South Africa which inspired Stoneface’s famous Chicken Bobotie (pronounced bah-boot-ee) (pictured above). This wonderful fish is made up of chicken in a raisin, curry and coconut cream sauce. It is both sweet and spicy, and absolutely delicious when paired with eggs and a benedict sauce. Russell releases the recipe for his Chicken Bobotie in a cookbook in hopes of raising money for Citizen Advocacy, an organization that works with people living with handicaps, and for Grammas to Abruyas, a group supporting grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren after their parents died of AIDS. Don't you love it when the food fills your stomach and your soul?
