Ottawa Food Find: Red Lobster 🦞

Red Lobster has multiple locations around the city, and today we visited the one at 📍1499 St. Laurent Blvd. We made a reservation in advance, and we’re glad we did—even on a Thursday, the place was bustling with diners! Pro tip: definitely book ahead to avoid waiting. 😊 Soups 🍲 We tried both soups on the menu, each in a cup size. First up: the Lobster Bisque, a creamy white soup packed with rich lobster flavor. It’s smooth, comforting, and perfectly balanced—definitely a safe and delicious choice that hits all the right notes. Then there’s the Clam Chowder, a hearty red soup. At first sip, you’ll notice a warm, aromatic hint of wine that adds depth, and as you savor it, a lovely, lingering richness emerges. It’s bold and full-flavored, ideal for anyone who loves robust, savory soups—definitely worth a try if you enjoy complex tastes! Seafood Mushrooms 🍄 This dish was a delightful surprise! Tender mushrooms stuffed with a flavorful seafood filling, cooked to perfection. Each bite is juicy, savory, and packed with that fresh, briny goodness that pairs beautifully with the earthy mushrooms. It’s a tasty starter that’s sure to please—we’d happily order it again! 👍 Double Feature: Lobster + Shrimp + Steak 🦞🍤🥩 We went for the duo platter (around 80+ CAD) which includes succulent lobster, plump shrimp, and a juicy steak. Let’s start with the stars: the lobster was tender and sweet, with that wonderful, fresh ocean flavor we love, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked—plump, firm, and delicious. The steak was also tasty, with a nice char and juicy center that complemented the seafood wonderfully. The portion size was incredibly generous—we even had leftovers to take home! Price 💸 For two people, the total came to around 120+ CAD before tip, making it about 70+ CAD per person. Considering the quality of the seafood and the generous portions, it’s a great value for a satisfying meal. Red Lobster delivers a fun, lively atmosphere and fresh seafood that hits the spot. Whether you’re craving lobster, shrimp, or a mix of seafood and steak, it’s a solid choice for a delicious meal with friends or family. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit to try more dishes! 🦞✨ #FoodExploration #Ottawa #SeafoodLovers #DailyEats #FoodieAdventures #OttawaEats #RedLobster #SeafoodDinner 🍴🌟
