Got the beyond burger with added hot relish . so good, but on the heavier side. Bun was so fluffy and fresh. Messy so, make sure you have napkins nearby. The hand cut fries stole the show for me, paired with their in-house malt mayo. Also, tried the chipotle and honey mustard and both were amazing. They really nailed it with their sauces. Curly fries and dill broccoli salad was just OK, but Hubby gave them two thumbs up. It was a nice treat ...totally in a food coma .

Aside from that this Dairy Queen is where I had tried the new menu I had the rocky road blizzard and man it was perfection! I had tried the smores one at a different location and was disappointed with that being said I decided to not get that one again but when I saw the new menu (royal menu I believe it's called or something like such) and saw rocky road I had to try it ! It was all I could ever ask for just perfect! It is what I had imagined the smores would kind of taste like as the marshmallow was the fluff which made it fast much more real ! The rocky road was all I could've imagined and then some! Perfect amount of nuts, chocolate, marshmallow etc! This one is a little more pricier than the regular blizzards but it is so so so worth it ! I suggest to try it!

Wow! I am really impressed with this chain. Frequently visiting St. Laurent mall, I walked the food…read morecourt over and over again, and just wanted something different, and "healthier". I nervously popped into Poulet Rouge, intimidated by the menu and all the choices and received the friendliest service. I ordered a mini bowl with lettuce as a base. They offer plant based chicken, and opted for that, going with the shisha garlic flavour. The mini comes with a choice of 1 sauce and 3 toppings. I went with the chipotle sauce which had some nice kick to it. I topped it with cucumber, feta and tzatziki. The bowl was a perfect size for a quick light dinner. The plant based chicken was smokey and it was grilled to order. They have a couple seats to dine in away from the food court. Service was super quick and they were so friendly when I asked for recommendations. (sorry I forgot to take a picture, but I will next time I am there, because its now a new fave)

Poulet Rouge has arrived in Ottawa! It is a chain from Montreal that specializes in build your own…read morechicken bowls, salads and wraps. Their chicken is Halal. You can get everything without chicken too if you are a vegetarian/vegan, but they do not have alternate proteins. This location is in the St Laurent Shopping Centre (the other location in Ottawa is at the Rideau Centre). It's in the food court, but they actually have their own private seating, although you can bring your food to the main food court seating as well. I've had Poulet Rouge before, in Montreal, and at the Rideau Centre location as well. I really like the food at this chain. This visit I got the build your own Rouge Bowl ($10.99). You get to choose a chicken flavour (Hercules/lemon, Shisha/garlic, Fusion/BBQ or Volcano/spicy), a base (brown rice or bulgur, you can upgrade to quinoa for an additional cost), a dressing, and 7 toppings. I got the Hercules chicken with brown rice, no dressing, spinach, tomatoes, beets, bell peppers, black beans, cheese, and tzatziki (which counts as a topping and not a dressing). The food here is consistent with the location at Rideau. I feel like they might be a bit more generous with the meats in Montreal, but it's been a while since I've been there, so it might be they've shrunk portions everywhere. The chicken portion is still good, and my bowl was still very tasty. Service was friendly and the place looks clean. Poulet Rouge is definitely a welcomed addition to the St. Laurent food court :)

This review is strictly in regards to the A&W Veggie Burger. As the hubby always picks up my veggie…read moreburgers for me, I never got to experience the service at this location yet. Let me tell you, the veggie burgers here have won my heart. Totally trumps Harveys Veggie Burgers. The burger itself had fantastic flavor, if I do not recall, there were pieces of veggies cooked in the burger itself. For the toppings, they were generous with their ranch sauce, it was oozing everywhere, but soooooooo good! It is also topped with cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato, onion and the most amazing pickles ever! If you want a good veggie burger, A&W's got it!

Only complaint would be how slow the cashiers are. I often had to wait for one to come from the back to take my order and sometimes when my food was ready I had to wait for the cashier to be done what they were doing to give me my food, so much that once someone from the kitchen finished the job for them and gave me my food. I find it a little annoying since the place is never busy and the reason people come to a fast food restaurant is to not wait.

I love the theme of the place, the easy menu ordering options and variety. There's plenty of parking, tables for seating and love how the staff greets you as you walk in. Firehouse has sandwiche names you can order straight off the menu so this takes any guess work in terms of figuring out how you want to customize it, however you can also build your own with any ingredients available. I tried the meatball sub and the classic italian on white bread. We opted for the large size and it was plenty if you are very hungry. Everything tasted super fresh and just perfect - honestly the most impressive thing for me was the bread. It it moist and light, definitely better than Subway or any other chain I've tried before. This location has a cool Coke Freestyle soda machine so you can choose from huge selection of drink options, many of them zero sugar as well. Very fun! I will definitely be back and praying we get this in Quebec one day!

I've heard about many good things about this place - quality of fries, taste/texture of gravy, and quality of cheese curds.

Funny story, my brother loves A&W and used to work near this location before it opened up. He lamented how he wished there was an A&W near his work so he could go there for lunch. Shortly after he stopped working there, they opened up this A&W, haha. It's a relatively new location. I think it opened in 2021 or 2022. I've been to this location a few times. It's around the corner from a Winners (my favourite place to shop) and my husband has been known to go in and grab a Buddy Burger or two while he's waiting for me to finish shopping, lol. Their food is consistent, the space is clean, and staff are friendly. They recently launched their Brew Bar at this location, so now they also sell Root Beer slushies, fruit smoothies, creamy shakes, frozen lemonade, cold brews and lattes. We were there during this launch. They had a DJ playing tunes, the place was decorated with balloons and they had a spin the wheel game set up out front to win A&W merchandise. I won a bottle opener and my husband won a frisbee. We also got coupons to try a free small drink from the Brew Bar. I got the Strawberry Smoothie and my husband got the Acai Mixed Berries Smoothie. The regular price is $3.99 each. The smoothies are made by this automated machine. It's fun to watch. The smoothies were good, but a bit too sweet for my liking. They are made with real fruit puree, but I'm certain there's added sugar. The Mixed Berries one had a bit of an artificial aftertaste, which the Strawberry one didn't have. I feel that this location is more for people who live or work nearby or tourists or if you're already in the area doing something else. There's no parking. Street parking is hard to come by and not all that close. It is right by Parliament Station though, so easily accessible by public transit. This location is open 24/7.
