The meat guy was great and very helpful.. the variety of fresh burgers in the case was impressive. So was the sushi choice. And the fresh food bar. And the flowers. Everything, really. I love the produce here. Cheap... No...nothing is. I wish I could have bought items but I was between appointments and didn't need much on this date. Will keep this location in mind for next time.

The pizza was delicious, with a thin crust that was very soft but with a crust that had a nice crisp on it. I had the mushroom pizza and it was a solid vegetarian pizza.

They are 10" thin crust pizzas, so one person could easily polish off one pizza if hungry. I also got the Voices Carry Rockaberry sour draft, which is easily one of my favorite sours I've ever had. There was plenty of seating and it felt super cozy. It was a friendly and welcoming place I would love to visit again when in Ottawa.

Hubby had a smash burger and I had a halloumi "burger" which I loved. Good protein add and vegetarian!

2.5 stars, could have been a 3. Service was cheerful and attentive. Honestly, our waitress was…read moresweet so no harsh feelings. I've been to a 3 Brasseurs before, and I knew what I was getting myself into. Think chain restaurant, aka sysco in terms of food. It's honestly not the best food, but small kids and 6 dollar kids menu, I mean, you can't beat that on Sparks. It was hot out and I was feeling a tad light headed and starving, so I wanted something starchy and heavy, so I ordered the poutine. It was basically their standard shoe string fries (most likely frozen from a bag and not cut in house) topped with a light gravy and cheese curds! I mean at least they used curds right? It was probably the top 3 more laughable poutines that I have had, but still edible. The hubby ordered some sausage and sauerkraut dish. I ate a lot of his sauerkraut. It was good. Kids meals were decent, but again served with the shoe string fries that the kids barely touched. Actually they barely finished their meals (one mac and cheese bites the other chicken fingers) It did come with a drink and dessert though. The highlight was the giant pretzel that we shared at the table. I'd recommend that. It was delicious and a show stopper, especially with the mustard dipping sauce. We sat on the patio which was pretty quiet on a Sunday. Restaurant inside was empty. I did use their bathroom on the second floor. It was clean, but smelled of urine. The restaurant inside had some wear and tear and a strange smell as well. Glassware served was dirty but I am sure if I brought it up it would be rectified. I might go back for the pretzel and some apps and sit on the patio for some cheap eats, but I am in no rush.

Our table tried a bunch of food and everything was very good. Specifically, the Reuben pizza was excellent with a ton of cheese and a nice amount of meat, pickles, kraut, and sauce. The club sandwich was quite tasty as well with big chunks of chicken and some bacon on nice bread, and the side of poutine was huge and very good. The coconut cream pie was a huge slide of very creamy and tasty pie!

They have a good small menu so it is suitable for lunch or dinner...or just a beer. I had the Black Hop Down beer and it was delicious. We split a chicken caprese and a pork belly sandwich. Both were enjoyable though they appeared to be pre-made and re-heated. The caprese was a bit soggy on one side. The menu indicated they both came with house-made chips, but we had to remind them - and only got one serving with the gal noting that only the caprese came with chips... not what the menu says. Ideally, for better presentation, chips on the side of the plate would be better. We also tried the sardines. This was interesting but nothing I'd order again. My overall three rating is based on this - however, I do want to note they've only been officially open for a few weeks from what I'm reading - so I'm putting this down to 'opening pains'. We'll do a revisit and update in a few months. Service was affable. Nice people. Would I return? Yes Would I recommend? I think this will become a favorite local meeting spot for beer - probably a bit further than I'd drive on a regular basis.

While we waited for our food, I admired the exposed brick walls and other details of the restaurant. On the main floor, there's a private room that can seat up to 30. Just called ahead to reserve, and there's no $ minimum. There's a variety of seats. The majority seems to be high top height. Personally, I prefer a regular table and chair height, so next time I will ask for that choice. Our house salad and bacon smash burger came out lightening fast. The food plus the beer were ok.
