Metropolitain Brasserie | Ottawa's French Flair (With Some Flops) 🇫🇷

📍 700 Sussex Dr (Across from Rideau Centre) 🚗 Parking nightmare alert! 🦪 Oysters & Shrimp ($1.5/each) Jumbo shrimp: Plump and tasty. Oysters: Tiny and meh freshness. (You get what you pay for!) 🐟 Tuna Tartare (Warm & Weird) Served on cucumber slices (not bread)—refreshing but impractical. Black caviar felt random. Ended up eating raw "dumpling filling" leftovers. 😅 🍗 Main Event Duck Leg: Crispy skin, juicy inside—perfect! (But I was too full to finish.) Bouillabaisse (Seafood Stew): Friend’s face = 😑 (thanks to melted bread inside). But the broth? Rich, tomato-y, and packed with umami! 🍹 Cocktail Roulette Elderflower Margarita: Just okay (Joey’s does it better). Orange Mojito: "Tastes like cleaning spray"—no surprises here. Verdict ✅ Highs: Duck leg, bouillabaisse broth. ❌ Lows: Oysters, awkward tuna tartare, questionable drinks. 💰 Damage: ~$60-80/person. Go for the duck, stay for the people-watching on Sussex! #OttawaEats #FrenchFoodFail #DuckWins #OttawaFoodie
