    A friend and I discovered Ottawa South Groceteria while we were students at Carleton. We first saw…read morethis grocery/convenience store on the way to buying books and coursepacks at Haven Books, which is directly across the street. We mainly took notice because of their big "Free Delivery" sign. We asked the man at the counter for more information. He asked us if we went to Carleton and lived in residence, and we said yes, so he told us that after we were finished shopping around, that he'd drive us back to campus with all of our groceries. I've had some friends go to the store and have been told that they don't deliver, so I'm assuming that they probably only deliver within a very small radius, Carleton campus included. If my friend and I were just lucky that day and the man was feeling extra nice, then we were definitely very appreciative. The store is very small, though they did have many of your basic needs, like milk, bread, and some produce. My friend and I did a bit of our grocery shopping together, including milk, juice, bread, cream cheese, hot dogs, bananas, a couple of chocolate bars, and a few other miscellaneous items. The prices were higher than you would expect to pay at your average grocery store, but cheaper than you would normally pay at a convenience store. The man and what we assumed to be his wife that ran the store were very nice and accommodating. We didn't come here too often, though, as we did more bulk shopping at the Loblaws via O-Train, but it was nice to know a store like this was (still is) very close to campus.

    Groceteria is a small grocery-type store on Sunnyside, just east of Carleton U. What first…read moreintrigued me about the place was the sign that said 'Free Delivery'. A grocery that delivers? How awesome is that? Winter is coming and it would be sweet to find a place that would save me from having to venture out on those evenings when the temperature falls below negative 20 below! So, I went in and asked the owner about the delivery service. Sadly, they do NOT deliver. But, they haven't been able to afford to buy a new sign. Dang! Nevertheless, I took a look around while I was there and found the Groceteria to be a handy little place. It has everything a good convenience store offers (chips, pop, cigarettes, magazines, etc.). Plus, it has a small produce section where you can get some fruits and vegetables (bananas, apples, tomatoes). The owners are of Indian (or at least, Indian Sub-Continent) descent, and they offer a selection of big, homemade samosas. It is a friendly store, where everyone seems to know everyone else. Pity about the delivery....!

    I've been coming to Canada every year for longer than I can remember, and it's always a necessity…read morethat I stop here for what is likely the best sandwich you can get anywhere in the country. Di Rienzo's is a small deli tucked away in Ottawa's little Italy neighborhood but trust me it's no secret. There's always a line of the well informed, salivating with a grin as they wait (not long mind you, they move fast). The smell here is your first clue that your in for somethings delicious, if you weren't hungry when you arrived you will be once the aroma hits your nostrils. They have a selection of Italian pre-packaged products and various snacks, as well as cold drinks to complete your meal. That said, this joint is all about the sandwiches. They'll make whatever combo of meats, cheese, and toppings you want but if your unsure just pick one of the options on the board. I almost always get the #14. It's all the delicious Italian meats you could want plus havarti, lettuce, and mayo (exchange the regular havarti for the herbed havarti if you'd like). The bread is amazing quality as well. You really can't go wrong here. They have some sandwiches in a case ready to go as well, such as the steak which I hear is amazing. The staff here couldn't be more friendly and accommodating which is no small feat for a place this busy. There are no tables so it's takeout only and It IS cash only however they have an ATM for the unprepared. Oh, lest I forget, this amazing and quality sandwich is less than 10 bucks! This spot is a real gem and if you find yourself nearby you absolutely have to try it out.
