Pelican Grill | Ottawa's Ultimate Seafood Destination! 🇨🇦

📍 Location & Ambience Address: Adjacent to Ottawa's viral Jellycat store (perfect for post-meal shopping!) Vibe: Nautical-themed decor with open kitchen showcasing chefs at work Ideal for: Friends gatherings/dates/family meals (reservations recommended, especially on weekends) 🦞 Must-Try Signature Dishes (Tested & Approved) 1️⃣ Classic Fish & Chips ($21) Atlantic cod with golden crispy batter, flaky white flesh inside Secret recipe: Beer-battered for extra crispness (that satisfying "Tree Tree" crunch!) Served with skin-on thick-cut fries, seasoned with sea salt & herbs 2️⃣ Lobster Roll ($35 - Best value in Ottawa!) Stuffed with 1/4lb East Coast cold-water lobster meat Signature sauce: Lemon aioli + chives, butter-toasted bun Comes with house chips and pickles for balance 3️⃣ Oyster Platter (Market Price) Daily fresh shipments from PEI/Nova Scotia ("East Coast Mix" recommended) Three signature dips: • Classic mignonette • Southeast Asian lime-chili • Innovative watermelon-mint (must-try!) 🍽️ Other Star Dishes Seafood Chowder: Lobster-shell broth with cream base, loaded with chunks of seafood Grilled Scallops: Caramelized surface with pumpkin purée (seasonal special) Calamari: Japanese tempura-battered, served with wasabi mayo 🍸 Drink Guide ✔️ Recommended: Local craft beer (Kichesippi on tap) White wine (staff will pair with your seafood) ❌ Skip: Margarita (overly sweet, mediocre tequila) 💡 Pro Tips Best time: Weekdays before 5pm for no wait Hidden perk: Free chocolate lava cake for birthday month Parking: Free lot in back alley 🌟 Verdict At ~$50/person, this Atlantic seafood feast sets Ottawa's gold standard for freshness and execution! Now on my "monthly must-eat" list. 📸 Photo Ops Giant lobster statue at entrance Seafood display fridge Window seats (perfect natural lighting) #OttawaEats #PelicanGrill #CanadianSeafood #FoodieFind #OttawaLife
