Ottawa, Canada | A Fantastic Hidden Gem of a Tavern 🍷✨

What a delightful surprise to find this gem of a tavern! Located in Byward Market, it has over 2,000 Google reviews with an impressive 4.8/5 rating. 🌟 Two Starters: ▫️ Seared Scallop: Tender scallops seared to perfection, wrapped in a white wine cream sauce with spinach and bacon bits. So good that you’ll want to scoop it up with the baguette and lick the plate clean! 😋🍴 ▫️ Snails: Large, flavorful snails paired with a baguette – absolutely divine! Adding cheese on top would make it even more delicious. 🧀👌 Three Main Courses: All were quite impressive, ranked by preference: ▫️ Duck Confit: So delicious it might make you cry! 😭 I haven’t tried it in Paris, so I can’t compare, but this duck leg is the best I’ve had so far. Crispy, flavorful skin and tender, juicy meat, paired with creamy, slightly sweet mashed potatoes and a tangy apple sauce. You’ll finish every bite. 🍽️💕 ▫️ Seafood Fettuccine: Packed with ingredients like mussels, scallops, salmon, and tomatoes in a garlicky cream sauce. Creamy seafood dishes are always a favorite. 🦐🍝 The pasta was a bit undercooked and slightly dry, but the portion may look small, yet it’s quite filling. ▫️ Baby Beef Liver: Also served with delicious mashed potatoes. Even if you’re not a fan of liver, this dish won’t feel heavy. A bit of an organ meat taste for first-timers, but the onions and bacon make it worth trying for liver enthusiasts. 🥩🧅 🍺 Their wine and beer selections are also worth trying – both received great reviews. Cheers! 🍷🍻 #OttawaEats #OttawaRestaurants #CanadianCuisine #OttawaLife ### Name: Chez Lucien Address: 137 Murray St, Ottawa, ON K1N 5M7 Type: Restaurant ###
