🇨🇦 Ottawa Foodie Alert! These 2 Spots Are Worth the Trip! ✈️🍽️

As someone who recently visited Ottawa for work, I was skeptical about the capital's food scene - often dismissed as a "culinary wasteland." But let me tell you, these two spots made the trip unforgettable! 1️⃣ Table Sodam - Korean Comfort Food at Its Best 🇰🇷✨ 📍 Multiple locations (we visited downtown) 🔥 The Star Attraction: Their legendary Korean fried chicken is life-changing! Perfectly crispy exterior glazed with sticky-sweet or spicy sauce Juicy, tender meat that practically bursts with flavor Pro tip: Order the half-half combo to try both signature flavors ⚠️ What to Skip: The seafood pancake and bibimbap sadly didn't impress - small portions with premium prices. Perfect for: A casual dinner after checking into your hotel 2️⃣ Authentic Vietnamese Pho House - Beyond Just Pho 🇻🇳💫 📍 Chain with multiple locations (we loved the Kanata spot) 🍤 Must-Try Showstopper: The shrimp spring rolls will ruin all other spring rolls for you! Freshly minced shrimp filling with perfect seasoning Golden-brown crispy wrapper with that satisfying crunch So good we ordered two extra portions! 🥩 Unexpected Hero: Their Grilled 3A Beef Ribeye Rice Bowl - tender, flavorful beef that rivals dedicated steak houses Ideal for: A comforting meal before heading to the airport Why These Stand Out in Ottawa's Food Scene: ✅ Authentic flavors that rival Toronto/Vancouver ✅ Consistent quality across locations ✅ Perfect balance of comfort food and elevated dishes #OttawaFoodie #HiddenGems #KoreanFood #VietnameseCuisine #OttawaEats #BusinessTripEats
