π¨π¦ Riviera Ottawa: Why This Top 100 Restaurant is ALWAYS Packed! π½οΈ
We managed to snag a bar seat with 3-day advance booking β and now we totally get the hype. This place runs like a well-oiled (but incredibly charming) machine! π The Riviera Experience ποΈ Service That Shines "Canadian Hot Pot" level attention: Coat checks, crumb-clearing after every course, water glasses never half-empty Warning: Such luxury means tips creep up fast (worth it for special occasions!) π₯© The Food That Justifies the Hype Dry-Aged Ribeye: That perfect medium-rare blush + crust that crackles like autumn leaves π "Better Than McDonald's" Fries: Triple-cooked? Magic dust? We need answers! Mushroom Toast: Umami bomb! Creamy but not heavy, earthy but bright β how?! πΈ The Damage ~$100pp (before drinks/tip) Painful but memorable β this isn't everyday dining! π Survival Tips β Book 2+ weeks ahead (yes, even for Tuesday nights!) β Dress smart-casual β the room demands effort β Splurge on cocktails β their bartenders are alchemists Address: 62 Sparks St (inside a stunning old bank building) #RivieraOttawa #Top100Eats #SteakPerfection #OttawaFineDining #DateNightGoals #FoodieSplurge
