๐จ๐ฆ Ottawa Birthday Restaurant Recommendations
Choosing a birthday restaurant in Ottawa can be tricky โ it feels like the same few places keep popping up. But after some research, I picked two spots that absolutely delivered! Beyond Chinese food, thereโs so much more to explore here ๐ ๐ Harmons Steakhouse ๐ฅฉ The best steak Iโve had in Ottawa so far! Weโd been wanting to try this place forever โ and it did not disappoint. So good we both put down our forks just to savor the moment ๐ฎ๐ด Australian F1 Black Tajima x Angus: Juicy, rich, perfectly seared Japanese A5 Wagyu (Miyazaki): Melt-in-your-mouth tender, beautifully charred They also offer dry-aged steaks โ definitely trying those next time! Mushroom Risotto: Creamy, cheesy, with pine nuts โ a must-order for mushroom lovers ๐โค๏ธ Pan-Seared Asparagus with Hollandaise: So flavorful! You can order a half portion (which is still generous) We couldnโt finish everything โ they even gave us little bread loaves to take home! ๐ฅโจ ๐ Sanduk ๐ต๐ญ A Filipino restaurant โ not sure how authentic it is since it was my first time trying the cuisine, but everything was delicious! Note: The menu is very meat-heavy ๐ฅ๐ โ no veggies in sight (as a southerner, I missed my greens ๐) We ordered: BBQ platter Grilled pork knuckle Pan-fried fish Seafood platter Crispy lechon (roast pork) The food was beautiful and flavorful ๐ซ, the ambiance was warm and cozy, and the staff were incredibly patient (we were a big group!). They even have tatami-style seating โ great for photos! Plus: Unlimited rice ๐ โ and itโs delicious! #Ottawa #Foodie #BirthdayDining #OttawaEats #SteakLover #FilipinoFood #ExploreOttawa
