Ottawa, Canada

Good Eats
>local cafe near me, simple stuff but it's all made from scratch (including their breads), very good breakfast. extremely comfy atmosphere, she uses regular wood dining tables and they are all different sets so it feels like you're at grandma's or someshit

Orto
>fancy italian restaurant run by a chef that won some reality tv chef show like 10 years ago, pricey (probably about $50 with tax/tip and no alcohol) but two of the best meals i've had in this city

Lapointe's
>technically a chain but it's local only, old Ottawa business (1860s I think), have a handful of markets and restaruants around the city. very good fish & chips for a normal restaurant price. also used to work in one of the markets when i was in high school.

Whalesbone
>pricey (similar to Orto) seafood place, extremely good food. had a weird ass ceasar salad there once that had no actual ingredients from a ceasar salad except for the lettuce, they replaced everything with different but similar ingredients (like the "bacon" was roasted and seasoned walnuts) was really fucking good

Art-Is-In Bakery
>bakery and scratch cafe near me, very well known around the city they show up at farmer's markets everywhere with bread and pastries and always sell out by noon, people love their baked shit but the restaurant is even better. simple food mostly (breakfast, burgers, pizza) but i've never been short of impressed by all the stuff i've tried
