As always phenomenal service, wasn't too busy for a Saturday afternoon. Forewarning weekends are…read morebusy but so worth it. It's a family run establishment and the food is all made with love. The soups are all fantastic, and their soup and sandwich deal is killer.

So Miss Molly's Breakfast Club just opened at the end of July 2019. It was Koda's Family Diner and…read morePizzeria prior to that, Joe's Pizza and Sports Grill prior to that, and I think Studebaker Pub and Grill before that, lol. I guess there's been some turnover. It's located in an industrial park just off Clyde. So their signage says "home of the bulgogi hoagie." I love beef bulgogi, so I went in with the intentions of getting that, but I discovered that the meat is marinaded not only in sesame oil (which I can eat), but also in sesame seeds (which I can't eat), so I could not experience their bulgogi hoagie :( and had to order something else. I settled on the fish tacos ($8) with a side garden salad (the menu said $4, but I was charged $4.25, and I wasn't going to quibble over a quarter, lol). I got 2 tacos and they were 2 large pieces of pan-fried white fish on top of iceberg lettuce and diced tomatoes in a soft flour tortilla. I liked that the sour cream and salsa automatically came on the side because I hate it when places drench food in sour cream and sauces. The tacos were fine, but they lacked oomph. The fish was seasoned and wasn't bland, but there just wasn't any flavourful kick to it. As the expression goes, they weren't anything to write home about. I did appreciate that the fish wasn't oily/greasy though. So anyone who knows me knows that I look upon iceberg lettuce with great disdain. I feel that iceberg lettuce is a cheapy filler lettuce, and I much prefer a real spring/mesclun mix, or arugula, kale and/or spinach. I would even begrudgingly settle for romaine lettuce. So I was really disappointed that the salad that I received was mostly iceberg lettuce (3 simultaneous sad faces!). It did have some cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled beets, and green onions as well, and the vegetables were fresh, but I was still disappointed. I was trying to be healthy, but I should have just gotten the fries, haha. Service was very friendly and efficient. Decor is typical diner. They serve all day breakfast, and with a name like Miss Molly's Breakfast Club, I guess their specialty after the bulgogi hoagie is breakfast. I'd like to return and try their Eggs Benedict. Hopefully I'll be able to bump up my rating by a star or two. They have their own private parking lot with lots of parking spots.

I used to go to Good Eats regularly when they were in a smaller space on Albert, close to my work…read more I'd wander over once every week or so. This location has as much character as the old one, but of course in a different way. The first thing I noticed walking in was the colourful floor tile. It made me happy. They still have a simple menu with good choices: soups, sandwiches, bowls and baked goods. Service was pleasant and speedy. It was a beautiful spring day so we took advantage of the large patio to enjoy some sunshine. Food was as good as I remember. I had the salmon bowl while hubs had a chicken squishwhich, basically a grilled sandwich. Happy to have re-found Good Eats.

I usually get a latte there but decided on a regular one, that was a mistake. Their food did taste good, and their chutney was still delicious but the service was a bit gruff. They weren't rude by any means but I was ignored for 10 mins just waiting to ask for a takeout box. I could tell he was a bit overwhelmed and probably having an off morning, so I didn't take it personally. But when I'm paying $30 for one breakfast bowl and a coffee, I'd expect more than 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and a few mushrooms in it. The food is delicious but you're definitely overpaying and 50/50 on the coffee lol

The location is out of downtown and away…read morefrom Bank Street, so parking was easier to find in a very nice area with lots of cute little businesses. The inside is so cute. I really wish I'd gotten a photo of the little waiting area. They have all these colourful couches and lamps. It's like a little parlour. The spot is just so cozy. I even had to take a picture of the walls where the downstairs washrooms are located. They had gorgeous sunflowers painted all over them. The service is every bit as good as the food. The mimosas are worth it, lots of bubbles (some places really skimp, not Chesterfield's). They have many gluten-free options, which always makes me feel like I can eat like everyone else. I ordered the Bird's Nest Benny. The eggs were the most perfectly poached I've ever had at a restaurant. A side came with the benny, and I got the baked beans. The food was absolutely delicious. Potatoes, eggs, bacon, and maple-lime hollandaise that was to die for. There was so much food. Impossible to walk away hungry. Service was perfect as well. His name wasn't on the receipt, but he treated me like I was just as important as the group diners. No solo diner curse here. Cute spot, very clean, perfect service and food with quality ingredients. I will definitely stop in when I'm in Ottawa again.

So Headquarters is a restaurant, cafe AND a salon? Interesting business concept, quite fitting in…read morethe trendy touristy Byward Market. Granted the salon half is a separate unit separated by a glass wall so you don't have to worry about the very idea of hair bits and hairspray migrating into your meal. But I'm just here for the food, which Yelp tells me HQ has plenty of highly rated, it opens early enough and is close to my hotel, so I can walk my lazy ass over for a big brunch. Because my lazy ass figured if I have one big brunch each day of my trip instead of two separate meals, I can gain more time to explore. (Not sure if you want to follow this bit of travel hack advice.) Who wouldn't want to do brunch every day, right? It's an Instagram foodie influencer's bloody dream! The street HQ is on is full of wide street patios. (Judging only by what I saw in the Byward Market, honestly Ottawa has a better street cafe culture than Toronto--sorry Toronto.) So naturally I took up an entire table outside and had me some coffee to start. Cute trendy clean ambience with friendly staff, who apologetically warned me even of wandering wasps which may be bothersome. Must be an Ottawa thing--nobody in Toronto ever warn you of annoying wasps and bees! My main was a Brunch Poutine. Which in summary was a fun and decent choice, not too sweet with the honey drizzle, though the bacon topping was overly crisp.
