Ottawa Food Marathon: 6 Hours of Eating Through the Capital π¨π¦
Spent a weekend admiring tulips in Ottawa while squeezing in an epic food adventure! Here's my delicious itinerary that covered four fantastic spots in just six hours. π£ π’ Chuan'r (Chinese Skewers) Our first stop delivered absolute fire! We ordered: Pork belly skewers (MUST ORDER - so good we would've gotten seconds if not already full from waffles) ππ» Lamb skewers Beef fat-lean combo Sweet sausage Cilantro tofu rolls Eggplant The star was undoubtedly the pork belly - perfectly charred with just the right fat-to-meat ratio. The eggplant surprised us too; though sauceless, the generous garlic topping made it shine. Only the tofu rolls were slightly dry. Ottawa friends, when is this coming to Montreal?! βοΈ Underground CafΓ© A hip spot with photogenic drinks: Black sesame hojicha: The hojicha base was lighter than expected, but the black sesame foam delivered rich, nutty goodness Swiss chocolate latte: Delicious but would recommend asking for less syrup Pro tip: Their drink presentation is Instagram-worthy, making the slightly higher prices justifiable π§ Sharpfle Waffle Discoverd the fluffiest waffles in town! These aren't your standard diner waffles - they use premium pre-made bases pressed to order and topped creatively. Our picks: Avocado, ham & cheese combo (perfectly balanced flavors) Sweet corn version (surprisingly delightful) The texture sits beautifully between crispy and cakey - worth every calorie! π§ Bliss Tea Our final beverage stop delivered two winners: Watermelon cheese tea (30% sugar was perfect) with an incredibly creamy, slightly salty foam Plum lemon tea (ordered unsweetened) - so refreshing it became our road trip companion Their cheese foam might be Ottawa's best - rich but not overpowering The Ones That Got Away π Had grand plans to grab: K Let's Eat fried chicken (legendary crunch) Egg Club sandwiches (supposedly life-changing) Alas, both closed earlier than expected! Next time, Ottawa... next time. Final Thoughts This whirlwind food tour proved Ottawa's dining scene punches above its weight. From sizzling skewers to innovative drinks, we covered impressive ground. The city offers perfect stops whether you're craving Asian street food, specialty coffee, or unique waffle creations. Already planning my next visit to conquer those missed spots! #FoodieAdventure #MontrealLife #MontrealFood #OttawaEats #OttawaFoodScene #CanadianFood #SkewerLove #BubbleTea #WaffleGoals #FoodMarathon
