Food Scene

A bit of a drive but it's my favourite restaurant near Ottawa! Great food, great people, beautiful location. This restaurant is built in an old General Store and is decorated beautifully for each season. Their cocktails and plates are truly a fine dining experience. They also have a beautiful garden patio in the summer.

Best restaurant nearby - fabulous greek food! You can dine in at this cozy restaurant (7 min drive) or order a meal in through Skip the Dishes or Uber Eats. Their Spanakopita, Kalamari, and greek salad are our personal favourites. If you are dining in, you MUST try the Saganaki (flambeed cheese). They have a superb line-up of wines.
