The food is high quality - often locally sourced and organic. Dahl soup was tasty, with just a hint of heat from the spice. Chicken taco filling was tasty but... and I think this is where I'm struggling... I am realizing that I really don't like soft tacos. Something about the texture of the taco itself puts me off. I'm sitting here trying to decide if I'm being fair giving them a three because of my preference for taco shells. I guess what I'm saying is: take my review with a (proverbial) grain of salt. Would love to see a garbage can and recycling bin put out. Since they are located on the UOttawa campus during school year, plan to bus/walk to get there. (Parking is a pain during the week.) If you get off at Campus Station 2B, Sweetpea (the truck) is really close by. (Don't take my word for it though - things change, so make sure you check on that.) Staff was great. They have 2 tables and about 6 chairs for people who want to sit and eat for a bit. Would I return: Yes. I'd love to go again when it's not Taco Thursday, to try to get a different menu item. Would I recommend: Yup - if you like healthy choices that are locally sourced and organic, this is a great option.

I recommend anyone looks for a nice Indian meal to do the same. I was greeted by the chef. He explained the menu to me. I have to be careful with some foods because of allergies. They were happy to help and I had a great meal. The place is clean. It's smaller and personal. Small details like candles to go under the food to keep it warm we're put into place. I did not feel rushed, and the food came out in decent time as well. I had the lamb Roganjosh and some curried vegetables with some papadum. The lamb was tender and not stringy. The veggies were cooked nice and spice levels were appropriate. I had a tea and a pistachio Kulfi as well. Friendly, friendly, friendly and knowledgeable about food. Five stars for service, and quality of food. All that and they were able to do gluten free for me as well.

Most things are made in house. Not cheap but, you get what you pay for, right?! Ex. A frozen single serve meal is $13.95. They have a nice, shaded patio and a restroom. They also sell really cute kitchenware, specialty cards and fun gift type things. I really enjoyed my time here and look forward to coming back. I had my eye on a few things that I wish now, that I had also purchased. 20 years in business, 5 at this Gladstone location. That alone says something! 5 stars.

I stopped by The Red Apron to check it out. It's a cute shop that sells primarily frozen meals that you just need to stick in the oven. They also have frozen pies, cakes and other desserts. Prices are similar to those of fully prepared and plated meals at restaurants. They have artisan products like jams, salad dressing, nuts and crackers. They also have fresh baked goods, coffee and soup. I saw a few prepackaged sandwiches in the fridge. I did not see any hot ready-to-eat meals though. I grabbed a few ham and cheese scones ($4.25 each). They were delicious! They were full of cheese, cubes of ham, and chopped chives. And there was extra cheese on top too! Very tasty. Worth all the calories, lol. Service was courteous. There's bar seating inside along a window, and they have lots of outside patio seating, which would be great to grab a coffee and baked treat and catch up with friends. The ambiance is cafe/coffee shop-like. They have their own private parking lot for customers, which is free, so you don't have to worry about paid street parking. (94)

Eldon's is probably better suited to the community than something that was obviously catering mainly to the Lansdowne game night crowd. This was our second visit after our first one in August 2018. Eldon's has a rather short menu featuring various breakfast choices, then soup, salads and 3 sandwiches choices for lunch. The food is good. We had a beet and ginger soup that was delicious, served with a small salad that had a nice dressing, but contained a few decaying lettuce leaves in the mix of otherwise tasty greens (I know how hard it is to get your plastic bin of greens to keep fresh in the winter, but you really do have to pick through them more attentively). Also served with "toast" which is actually grilled rather than toasted and was very nice. They have a blackboard with wine and beer selections, but they were out of the wine we ordered and hadn't updated the board. We picked another from a rather short wine list. They do have a bar with an excellent selection of teas and coffees. Their espresso was one of the better ones I've had in Ottawa. The place was busy on a Saturday during Winterlude, but service was attentive and prompt.

The restaurant is clean and tidy, which made the experience even more pleasant. Service was attentive, though with only a few tables it's hard to fully judge. Still, everything we needed was taken care of. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and prices felt fair. I especially appreciated that their pancake wasn't overly oily like you often find elsewhere. Dishes leaned on the milder side which made it easy to enjoy everything. The kimchi was a little salty, but the pickled radish was a nice balance. Big plus: they serve Asahi draft, which you don't see everywhere. One small miss was the sundubu being accidentally left off our order, but no big deal, just an excuse to come back and try it next time along with the Kalbi. Seating was comfortable, and I loved the individual wireless table lamps at each table which added a nice touch. Overall, a great first experience and I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.
