Ottawa Food Guide | Greek Flavors + Milk Tea + Castle Hotel Buffet

Hi foodie friends! I spent the weekend exploring Ottawa’s dining scene, and the two pre-booked restaurants were such delightful surprises—definitely worth adding to your 打卡 list～ 1⃣️Aroma Meze 🥗🍛🥙 This charming Greek-style private kitchen specializes in tapas, and their menu is cleverly categorized into “From the Garden,” “From the Sea,” and “From the Earth” to represent 🥬 vegetables, 🦞 seafood, and 🍖 meats respectively. We were a group of four and ordered six courses to share, and it was the perfect way to taste a little bit of everything! My top 3 picks? 1. Octopadaki (super tender octopus) 🐙, 2. Smoked Salmon Crisps (stunningly presented and delicious) 🥢, and 3. Pulled Lamb Tacos (hearty and satisfying) 🌮. The pacing of the meal was just right—we chatted, laughed, and savored each dish while letting our appetites reset between courses. It made for a really relaxed dining experience! The average cost per person was around $50 CAD. 🍹 Their cocktails are nicely crafted with a good kick and pretty presentation. They offer most classic options, so feel free to order based on your personal taste—you can’t go wrong! 📍 239 Nepean St, Ottawa, ON K2P 0B7 2⃣️After the meal, we popped into Sip Tea just around the corner for a milk tea 🥤! Both spots are in downtown Ottawa, just a 3-minute walk apart. The famous Sip Tea was a daily must-have during my stay—truly a drink you can’t miss when visiting Ottawa! 3⃣️The Fairmont Château Hotel offers breakfast and brunch, but make sure to book in advance! I highly recommend trying the buffet at Wildfred’s Restaurant. 💰 Breakfast is $38 per person, and it runs until 11 AM, after which it transitions to brunch. The brunch adds extra seafood and desserts, but both options offer great value—just choose based on your schedule! ❕ When booking, request a window seat for beautiful views of the castle-like hotel surroundings. It adds such a lovely touch to the meal! 🏰 All the food I tried in Ottawa this trip was surprisingly wonderful—no misses, and great value for money. If you have other favorite spots, feel free to recommend them to me—I’ll be back to explore more next time! 😊 #Ottawa #OttawaFood #FairmontOttawa #OttawaEats #FoodieGuide #GreekCuisine #BrunchRecommendations
