I've had a passion for food for as long as I can remember, making it, eating it, talking about it, I love it all and I like to share it with the people in my life. I was fortunate enough to grow up in Toronto with parents who didn't always want to cook at home. Whether it was walking to Greek Town, going to one of many China Towns, or going to the other side of the city we would frequently go out to eat, trying new places and old favorites, and I got a taste for it.

Toronto is a great place with many cultures, people, amazing restaurants and unique neighborhoods, and when I made the decision to go to school in Ottawa for 4 years I was worried I would loss my opportunity to experience amazing food. But for anyone who lives in Ottawa and really explores the city, they know this was not the fate of my 4 years. Though it is a little smaller Ottawa still has amazing food around every corner, from Byward to Westboro to Elgin Street there are chains and unique experiences to find.

So that's what I've done, for friend's birthdays, dates, visits from my parents, I've used every opportunity to find these hidden and not-so-hidden gems in Ottawa. Not every spot has been a great experience but that's why you're here. On my blog you can find reviews and recommendations of where to go for any event in your life. Whether you're on a university budget or living it up, I'll tell you if I think each place is right for you. Now, let's eat!
