Ottawa Brunch Spotlight: Chesterfield's Gastro Diner - Worth the Wait?
☔️ Rainy Weekend Brunch Chronicles Despite the gloomy weather, this popular spot was packed! No reservations—just pure dedication. My friend arrived at 10:45 AM (yes, we’re those people) and still waited 1.5 hours with 8 tables ahead. Pro tip: Bring a jacket if it’s chilly; the outdoor wait can be brutal! 🥩 Steak Hash ($18) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A flavor bomb with tender beef tenderloin, crispy roasted potatoes, sweet corn, Brussels sprouts, and melty cheese, all crowned with two perfect runny eggs. Hearty, balanced, and worth every penny. 🍳 Jamaican Benny + 2 Sides ($18) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jerk-spiced chicken, buttery cornbread, creamy avocado, and poached eggs drizzled with zesty mango salsa and jerk hollandaise. Added sausage and bacon for extra indulgence! Bold Caribbean flavors, though the spice could pack more heat. ⏳ The Catch? Long waits (arrive early or embrace the queue). Slow service when busy (but staff are friendly). 📍 Chesterfield's Gastro Diner 1433 Wellington St. W, Ottawa Verdict: A must-try for brunch lovers—just plan ahead! #OttawaBrunch #FoodieOttawa #WorthTheWait #ComfortFood #WeekendEats
