Avocado Benedict
Hadia G.

Went to Landsdowne for breakfast with a big group, the plan was to eat somewhere else but they couldn't accommodate us, came here, lots of outdoor sweating, outdoor games kids enjoyed and beautiful view of the busy outdoor farmers market right across. Their brunch menu is super limited (hence the 3 stars) it's basically 2 options! Our server was helpful and kind, kids got pastries from the market across and she offered them plates for that (usually it's not favourable to bring outside food) our whole table ordered the same thing, eggs Benedict with grilled avocados. X the Holland issue sauce tasted ready made (won't assume it's made in house here) the side of potatoe was good.. over all we had a great time! Seating is a 5 for sure

PINCHE BEEF TACOS
Campbell S.

Would not return, the food was average, the service was sub-par, price was fine. The beef tacos were quite good, slightly spicy they came to the table luke warm. The fish and chips were fine, nothing exceptional. The hamburger was fine, nothing special, I've had better burgers. Our waitress was quite rude, I tipped 23% and the waitress came up to me and yelled at me for not tipping enough!? How dare she, clueless lady! I am appalled and still in shock! It was a decent price for the food.

Bourbon sugar pie

In Ottawa for the weekend decided to hit local. My wife had the Raman I had the curry bowl with fried chicken. Sitting at the bar is where you wanna be. Lex took great care of us. Food was amazing. Dessert even better!

Not sure why I didn't come sooner. Loved the service and the food! It was an extremely hot day but as I was complaining because it was hot while sitting at my table, our waitress served us happily never seeming to mind working in the heat!! Lol, she was amazing! My husband had the fries and pressed burger, good but nothing too special. I had the crispy chicken sandwich with a Greek salad and that was amazing! The coleslaw in the sandwich did have celery which I thought was different. I had the pink spritz for a drink and loved it.

Brooklyn burger with fries
John O.

For anyone who has any special dietary restrictions I would highly recommend coming here. A person in our party has Celiac Disease and also could not have any dairy/soy and they had a ton of different options for her. It is very refreshing to see a restaurant that is that aware and willing to have multiple options. I tried the Brooklyn burger myself and it was fantastic. The buns are baked in house and tasted great and the burger was cooked perfectly. They have nice crispy shoestring fries that were great. The only negative that I had was that the waitress was so focused on one person at our table that I had to ask multiple times for refills on my beverage which I shouldn't have to go to that length to get.

Fish taco
HM M.

This is an up beat spot and fun to go to with friends for drinks. The tacos are really good. They also have a variety of drinks and they have good drink specials. Usually the line up to get in here on weekends is long, especially if there is a game or event at Landsdowne. They don't take reservations. I have waited 2.5+ hours there before and still didn't get seated. But that's the case with most restaurants at Landsdowne specially on a game night. So plan ahead! The service is always friendly and professional and I enjoy eating here because of the fun atmosphere and relatively cheap drinks.

A motel sign by the entrance

Great open space with historical decorations (motel sign, vintage seats), a couple of tvs, nice wooden tables, and comfortable stools. While the menu is not extensive, it has nice and tasty options that will meet most desires! The menu has several appetizers, burgers and sandwiches. There is also a week-end brunch menu. On my first visit, I tried the Brooklyn burger and it was great. Juicy patty, tasty onion rings, roquette greens in a mustard mayo, red pepper relish and cheddar. It comes with a bucket of thin, crispy fries (McDonald's style). My friends had the plain burger and the crispy chicken sandwich and they loved it. There are also daily alcohol specials. A glass of beer from tap for $4 or a glass of wine for $7! What struck me the most on this first visit is the extremely friendly service! We had babies with us and they were very accommodating and got us baby chairs and installed them for us. A great new addition that stands out just from great execution!

Had a solid brunch here this past weekend during the NHL Classic! My party of 5 arrived at around 11am to no wait at all - which I'm actually normally pretty apprehensive about - but I was starving and didn't think twice. We were greeted quick and had solid service throughout the entire meal. Coffee was yum & refilled promptly - and multiple times at that. My friend and I started out with the tortilla soup. We both wished there had been a warning for the spice! About halfway through it got pretty unbearable and I couldn't finish it - though I was absolutely freezing and wanted to. For my main dish I got the 'hippie toast' which had 2 beautifully cooked eggs on a heaping spread of avocado (and some white sauce which I didn't care for but wasn't overwhelming). It was serviced with perfectly seasoned potatoes & a little shot of a smoothie - nice touch! Some of my friends got the benedicts and the fried egg sandwich and both were decent size and finished off right away. Not the greatest brunch but far from the worst. Would try again!

Service: our server definitely had a negative energy.. It was clear that she did not want to be there working. Boyfriend and I split the order of calamari and fries. The calamari was okay, I particularly liked the "mayonnaise hot" sauce that came with it. But the calamari itself was calamari. Can't go wrong with it. What I like about this restaurant is that they offer rotating taps. Which means they carry different kind of beers all the time. I liked that they had a board of what was currently on tap for each type of beer (e.g., lager, IPA, wheat, etc.) and what was "on deck". Don't think I would go back, but it was worth a try. Just not my cup of tea.

Harvest Salad missing ingredients and tasting not fresh or vibrant. Would not order again.
Anika A.

I came back to local for the harvest salad which was so good the first time I ordered it- it was like I ordered at a different restaurant. The whole thing tasted different and it was missing key ingredients. Also, there were no chicken wings which we also liked the first time we went there. The food was super salty, and the burger was very over cooked and dry!

Went to Local during happy hour for dinner. We were lucky to get one of the last tables on the patio! This place is always hopping! $7 20oz pints during happy hour which is always good! I ordered the half nachos which was also $7 during happy hour (3-6pm)! Great deal! They were very tasty and super filling! The full nachos would definitely be something to share! This is a great place to stop by for date night or to hang out with friends. Happy hour is a great deal! Had a beer and meal for $14!

See all

Grow theirs own cocktails herb and flowers…read more The patio is charming and so is the interior. The staff is very knowledgeable it's very pleasant to know more about the dishes.

I was SO stoked to finally visit the Moonroom after seven or so years of wanting to go!…read more After a Saturday night at Bluesfest, we waited somewhere else for about half an hour before they told us the kitchen was backed up, so we walked down Preston and I was so glad the Moonroom was still open. We didn't get there until about 12:30am and it was pretty full. We didn't leave until maybe 2:30am and it was still pretty full considering the time. They're not normally open this late, but it seems like a lot of the businesses on Preston decided to stay open later to catch the post-Bluesfest crowd. Good call! We decided to sit inside since there was an empty table, otherwise I would've liked to sit out on their back patio, which looked really pretty with the lights. Inside was a nice vibe though, too. It's small/narrow, dimly lit, with sheets covering the different coloured ceiling lights, and candles on the table. It's very intimate and pretty romantic. We sat close to the bar and there was another party of two beside us. The music was a bit louder so we couldn't really hear the other table's conversations, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. They were playing the Bee Gees when we walked (danced) in, so we were really about the jams. My husband got a rotating draught IPA by Daft Brewing, can't remember which one it was. I got the Jill Collins, which had Tanqueray Gin, Affino Limone, fresh lemon and mint, cane syrup, and a Moon soda top. It was super refreshing, bright, and not too sweet, which is exactly what I wanted. We shared/I mostly ate the "OG Grilled Cheese" and "Panzanella-esque Salad". The grilled cheese had aged Balderson and cream cheeses in a crunchy baguette smothered in toasted garlic butter, served with Moon ketchup. It was exactly as described, with very crunchy, buttery garlic bread and creamy cheese. The Moon ketchup is made in-house, thinner and chunkier than processed, store-bought ketchup, with stronger flavours. It was okay, but I didn't need to dip much in the ketchup because I really enjoyed the sandwich and it was on the saltier side itself. Because it was a lot creamier than gooey, I'd say it was more of a sandwich than a grilled cheese, but still very tasty. I really am not a huge fan of salad in general, but I can't complain when it was burrata on top. It also had salty bread, arugula, roasted tomatoes, fresh peaches, herbs, and honey. The peaches were more firm than ripe and juicy, which was good for a salad, though I wish they were a bit sweeter. The burrata wasn't creamy inside like I expected, but I love cheese in any form. I really don't know what possessed me to get salad, especially after a bunch of drinks in the wee hours of the night, but my body thanked me later. Salty, bitter, a little sweet, fresh, and not heavy, even with (more) bread and cheese. It was great. They unfortunately ran out of the affogato, which probably would've convinced my husband to stay longer. Too bad. The vegan dark chocolate gelato from Farinella that they put in it sounded amazing. The beer was $10.50, my cocktail was $19, grilled cheese $16, and salad $17, which was pricey. BUT, the fresh herbs are from their garden on the back patio, they make their own soda and ketchup (among other things), everything was delicious, and even late at night the cocktails and dishes were still well put together and tasted great, plus I finally came here after so long. No regrets! Our server was super nice, same with owner and one of the bartenders, who even popped over and sat with us for a bit to chat. And not in a weird/creepy/in-your-face way lol she was cool. She was the one who greeted us when we came in and said bye to us on our way out. There's no flash photography (I forgot to turn my auto flash off for my salad, sorry!). They're open all week from 5pm to 2am, no reservations, no large groups, and no phone (just stop by). I wasn't sure if it would meet the high expectations and hype I had built up in my head after waiting so long to visit, but it totally did. It's such a nice spot, we had an amazing time, and we will definitely be back!

Stolen Goods Cocktail Bar - Lobster and shrimp toast (half)

Stolen Goods Cocktail Bar

(8 reviews)

Met some local friends at Stolen Goods and wow!…read more I loved every bit of this experience from the super creative drinks to the super cute raccoon theme found throughout! We sat up on the bar so we got a front row seat to all the magic. I was super impressed when the bartenders told us they kind of shoot from the hip for all their drinks in that they don't test it prior! They'll make small adjustments usually for acidity or sweetness but otherwise, you're basically experimenting alongside with them if it's on a recent menu change! My favorite drink of the night was the drink inspired by green curry. First and foremost, I was so confused when it came out clear! But when you took a sniff, you get the fresh scent of basil with some kaffir lime. On first taste, you also pick up some creaminess with the herbaceous notes which really makes it reminiscent of green curry - but it wasn't?! It was confusing, in a good way. My second favorite (of three) was the fruit loops infused drink. It paid homage to childhood Saturday mornings perfectly with the fruit loops whipped topping and the fruity cocktail underneath. It was a fun and lighthearted drink! My third was a drink featuring honeydew. It's such an underrated flavor because it's so hard to find a GOOD honeydew. In similar fashion, this drink also fell a bit short in the floral, sweet honeydew flavor and the cucumber flavor overpowered the drink. Having said that, the cucumber was really refreshing on such a humid day! All in all, loved the concept, loved the experimenting, and really enjoyed the vibes!

The bar is quite intimate with just 20 seats and lit up by the impressive wall of spirits. The…read morecocktails are unique, thoughtfully created with a complex mix of interesting ingredients that had us wondering what every drink would taste like. We got the King's ransom, Them's the breaks and Petty Theft. King's ransom came in an adorable pig shaped glass and had a fruity yet very smokey flavour. Them's the breaks was also lovely with some familiar fruity strawberry sweetness and a very interesting Merlot pink salt. Last but not least, Petty Theft was our favourite of the night with familiar SE Asian flavours and the nitrogen meringue experience which you pop in your mouth before sipping the drink. This one was $24 since it's a cocktail with a 72 hour process. This is a great spot if you love trying new drinks. The service is friendly, the music is on point and the overall ambience is perfect for a night out. They also take reservations - I recommend the bar seat.
