🇹🇩 Ottawa | A Stunning French Bistro with 100% Praise 💯

What a delightful hidden gem of a French bistro! Located in Byward Market, it’s earned an impressive 4.8/5 rating from over 2,000 Google reviews—and after dining here, it’s easy to see why 🌟! Two Star Starters That Shine ▫ Seared Scallops These perfectly seared scallops are a dream for seafood lovers 🍳! Each scallop is cooked to tender perfection, with a slight golden crust that locks in their natural sweetness. They’re smothered in a rich, velvety white wine cream sauce, mixed with crisp spinach and savory bacon bits for extra flavor. Pair each bite with a piece of crusty French bread to soak up that delicious sauce—so good, you’ll want to lick the plate clean đŸ„–! ▫ Garlic Butter Baked Snails These snails are plump, tender, and baked to perfection in a fragrant garlic butter sauce 🐌. The buttery, garlicky aroma hits you as soon as the dish arrives, making your mouth water instantly. Served with warm French bread to dip into the leftover sauce, it’s a classic French appetizer done right. Pro tip: ask for extra cheese to melt over the top—trust us, it takes this dish to a whole new level of deliciousness 🧀! Three Main Courses That Wowed (Ranked by Love!) ▫ Duck Confit This duck confit is so good, it’s almost emotional 😭! I haven’t tried duck confit in Paris to compare, but this is hands down the best I’ve ever had. The duck leg is slow-cooked until the skin is crispy and caramelized, while the meat stays juicy, tender, and packed with rich, herby flavor—no dryness here at all 🩆. It’s served with creamy, buttery mashed potatoes that are perfectly smooth, and a sweet-tart apple sauce that cuts through the richness. Every element works together flawlessly, and it’s gone in minutes—you’ll be scraping the plate for more! ▫ Seafood Fettuccine This pasta is a seafood lover’s paradise đŸ€! Loaded with plump mussels, tender scallops, and flaky salmon, it’s swimming in a fragrant garlic cream sauce mixed with sun-dried tomatoes for a touch of sweetness. The creamy, savory sauce coats every strand of pasta, making each bite a burst of ocean-fresh flavor. The pasta is cooked al dente (with a slight bite), and while the portion might look modest, it’s surprisingly filling—you’ll leave totally satisfied 🍝! ▫ Pan-Seared Baby Beef Liver This dish is a pleasant surprise for liver enthusiasts đŸ„©! The beef liver is cooked to tender perfection, with a rich, meaty flavor that’s complemented by a side of the same amazing mashed potatoes from the duck dish. Served with caramelized onions and crispy bacon bits, it’s hearty and full of depth. While it has a subtle, earthy liver taste (as expected), it’s mild enough to please even those who are new to liver—definitely worth a try if you’re feeling adventurous 🌟! đŸș Their drinks menu is just as impressive—both the house wine and beers come highly recommended, pairing perfectly with the food. Be sure to check out the full menu when you visit! đŸœïž Chez Lucien 📍 137 Murray St, Ottawa, ON K1N 5M7 If you’re in Ottawa and craving authentic, flavorful French cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting, this bistro is a must-visit. With rave reviews and dishes that live up to the hype, it’s easy to see why it’s a local favorite 💕! #OttawaFood #OttawaFrenchCuisine #CanadianFood #OttawaLife #BywardMarketEats #FoodieFinds
