Where to Find the Best Sichuan Cuisine? 🌶️

When it comes to Sichuan food in Ottawa, besides the delicious Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken and Dry-Fried Green Beans at Yangtze River (mentioned earlier), there’s another hidden gem that’s totally worth a try! 🌟 🏪 Restaurant: La Maison Szechuan 📍 Location: 1115 Rue Saint-Louis, Gatineau, QC J8T 2R8 🌶️ Cuisine: Authentic Sichuan I’m not from Sichuan or Chongqing, but I adore spicy food—and let me tell you, La Maison Szechuan nails that signature Sichuan flavor! 🌶️ Their Spicy Dry-Fried Chicken is a standout: spicy, numbing (thanks to Sichuan peppercorns), fragrant, and packed with fresh ingredients. From the vibrant color to the bold taste, every detail feels just right. 🤤 🥂 Ambiance & Service Tucked away in a cozy residential area, the restaurant has a simple, clean decor that feels fresh and hygienic—no fussy frills, just a welcoming vibe. Even the music adds a nice touch, making the dining experience feel relaxed and enjoyable! 🎶 And a fun bonus? The service was lovely, with a friendly staff member who made the meal feel extra pleasant—who knew Sichuan food could feel this charming? 😊 😍 Recommended Dishes From all the rave reviews we’d read, Spicy Dry-Fried Chicken was a must-order—and it didn’t disappoint! The portion of chicken was generous, with plenty of tender meat to savor. We also tried Yu-Shiang Eggplant (sweet, savory, and slightly spicy), Dry-Fried Green Beans (crisp and flavorful), and Yangzhou Fried Rice (fluffy and perfectly seasoned). Every dish was so delicious that my partner and I were too busy enjoying every bite to chat—we just kept digging in! 🍚 If you’re craving bold, authentic Sichuan flavors in Ottawa, La Maison Szechuan is a fantastic choice. With fresh ingredients, spot-on spice levels, and a cozy atmosphere, it’s easy to see why it’s a favorite among spice lovers.
