Ottawa Food Guide | Must-Try Restaurants (Tested & Approved!)

🌮 El Camino - Creative Tacos Worth the Splurge 📍 Nepean Street | 💰 $9-12 per taco 🔥 Must-Order Tacos: OX Tongue (tender, smoky) Pork Belly (crispy-fatty perfection) Crispy Fish (light & flaky) 🍆 Japanese Eggplant was good but not a standout. 👉 Tip: Small portions—order 3-4 per person! 🦆 Sea King Seafood Restaurant - Best Crispy Duck! 📍 Chinatown | 💰 $39 (half duck, pre-tax) ✅ Must-Try: Lychee-Style Crispy Duck – rare to find in Ottawa! 🍵 Decent dim sum too, but closed Tuesdays. 🌶️ Liu Gong Grilled Fish - Sichuan Flavors 📍 Somerset St | 💰 $15-25 per dish 🔥 Fan Favorite: Twice-Cooked Pork – legit spicy & savory! 🐟 Didn’t try the fish this time, but their stir-fries are solid. 🥟 Shanghai Wonton Noodle - Cheap & Tasty 📍 Near Chinatown | 💰 $10-15 per bowl 🍜 Highlights: Peanut Sauce Wontons (creamy & nutty) Hot Dry Noodles (authentic Wuhan-style!) 🏡 No-frills "street food" vibe—great for a quick bite. ⚠️ Safety Tip for Visitors Avoid walking near Rideau St after dark—lots of homeless/drug-related activity. Many stores have security, and police are often parked nearby. #OttawaEats #OttawaFoodGuide #TravelCanada #WhereToEatOttawa
