🇨🇦 Ottawa DT: Incredibly Delicious Brunch 😋

I’ve been wanting to find a tasty brunch spot near my place for ages—and here it is! Located right in the downtown area, just steps from Parliament Hill (on the ground floor of The Metcalfe Hotel), it’s super easy to find 🏨. It’s perfect for anyone exploring downtown who wants to take a break, sit down, and enjoy some great food and drinks. Plus, the hotel itself is very photogenic—those in the know will understand 😉! I ordered three dishes blindly, and every single one was amazing—highly recommended! 1. Pan-Seared Salmon The salmon is cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior 🐟. It has a delightful sweet-tart flavor that pairs beautifully with the base of tiny, chewy black grains (I’m not sure what they’re called, but they’re delicious!). Tossed in a rich, savory sauce, each bite is full of texture. If you’re like me and love that satisfying “pop” of small grains in your mouth, you’ll adore this 🌟! 2. Steak 🥩 The steak is incredibly tender, cooked to a juicy perfection, and smothered in a thick, flavorful sauce—pure comfort in every bite 😋. A sprinkle of fresh chives on top adds a bright, aromatic touch that enhances the overall taste. It’s a nice surprise to see such a fresh herb addition, showing attention to detail in balancing flavors 🌿. 3. Mussels Mussels have always been a favorite of mine, and I even love making them at home—but I can never replicate this creamy mushroom version 🍄! The sauce is rich, velvety, and packed with earthy mushroom flavor that’s simply addictive. I couldn’t stop eating them; each mussel was so flavorful, I savored every bite quietly. If it weren’t for the middle of the day, I’d definitely pair this with a glass of wine, cocktail, or beer 🍷🍸🍻! 🕹️ Find it on Google: 123 Metcalfe St, Ottawa, ON K1P 5L9 #MomentsWorthRecording #CanadianFoodie #OttawaFood #OttawaEats #OttawaBrunch #BrunchLovers #OttawaFoodGuide
