The pub is hidden behind some trees and in an industrial area. When I pulled in, I smiled because this was definitely a unique spot. I was greeted by a friendly hostess and seated at one of the tables in the dining area. The Cheshire Cat Pub is truly unique and oozes character that reflects the area it occupies. The manager introduced himself and explained the history of the pub. The current owners have run the pub for a couple of decades and apparently the place burned down! They did a wonderful job rebuilding it! The manager recommended the fish and chips and that's what I ordered. When it came out I was floored at the size of the two filets. Sometimes, the size of the fish detracts from the taste- this was not the case at all. The fish was delicious and the chips (fries) were on point. All in all, it was a memorable lunch for the food, the company and the pub. Thanks, Cheshire Cat Pub!!!

Kaffe has live music most evenings. The evening we went they ran a game night at the same time. It was loud. It was fun. We joked around with strangers. Everyone was relaxed. And did I say it was a pub? Oh draft beer was so delicious! Good times for everyone. The food at Kaffe is 3.5 stars at best. My beef stew was loaded with beef brisket chunks and vegetable bits. It was bold, delicious, down to earth, country styled. My boyfriend described his pasta as rich and hearty. Portions of both entrees were not generous but they were satisfying nevertheless. They surely weren't fancy. Most dinner offereings were priced at $18. Compared to most other restaurants charging over $20, Kaffe had the cheapest dinner that filled you up. Many patrons were french speaking. Yet the server was accomodating to us English speakers. I got a distinct impression that some people were regulars. If I was correct, this pub was the locals' social hub. How cool is that?

The Black Sheep Inn, or Le Mouton Noir, is an amazing bar/music venue in Wakefield Quebec which is…read moreabout 25 minutes north of Ottawa. This venue is legendary for performers and is always on the list of top 10 places to play in Canada. The setting is intimate with table seating but there is also room to dance or stand around depending on what band is playing. The decor is simple, worn in and charming with a retro feel. I have seen many amazing shows here and both the venue and setting in Wakefield make it tranquil and memorable. Sitting on the front patio overlooking the lake before the Neko Case show starts and the Wakefield steam train going by. If you are visiting Ottawa make sure you take a trip up to Wakefield and I suggest you drop by for drink at Le Mouton Noir.

Apothecary Lounge seemed to have many things I knew I'd enjoy, such as the menu items and the atmosphere. It surpassed expectations. Upon entry, going down the stairs, I noticed an enjoyable aroma, but it took me a minute to realize what it was - cocktail smoke from the wood chips used to smoke many cocktails. That eventually included my first drink, the Mortician. Later in the evening, I took advantage of the Dealer's Choice menu option, to have the bartenders craft a drink to my whim. I requested a variation on an Old Fashioned using Canadian Rye and something other than simple syrup as the sweetener. My drink was interesting and complex, including Amaro Nonino (a favorite of mine) and yellow chartreuse. Well done! We ordered both small plates and entrees while there. Everything came out really quickly, everything was fresh and full of flavor. Of everything I ordered, my favorite was the Bang Bang Shrimp. Unfortunately, the wonderful lounge mood-lighting made it difficult for me to take good photos using my older phone. But the highlight of the evening was the service. We could tell we were going to be in for an enjoyable time the minute he greeted us, wearing a tiara, and joking about how he got it and why he wore it. He was friendly and chatty, while being very knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive, checking on us every few minutes with more banter. he had an infectious laugh that he brought to every table, and it was clear he was enjoying what he was doing. I've had probably thousands of meals out over the years, and most service blends together. This waiter, this service, will be memorable, which helped make the entire experience memorable.
