👍👍 I really enjoyed the pizza here. Very tasty food and nice fresh ingredients. The server did a great job looking after us, but I felt the place was a bit over capacity, or under staffed, so maybe better to visit midweek rather than a weekend.

👍👍 Very nice place. Very tasty food, I had a pizza "carnivore" I chose the little one (small) surprise it is like a medium one, good enough for 2. I had a salad :Hazel" so good! Then the dessert was "tarte aux pommes Allemande" pie german apple" so good! 😋 my waiter Geneviève was so kind, thank you...

👍👍 The best French bistro in Ottawa. The foods were very delicious. The plating was beautiful as well. Maybe will be the No.1 in Ottawa in a couple of years. 🔥🔥❤️

👍👍 Really cute cafe and house plant shop. I like concepts like this! They had a few interesting drinks that I would have liked to try! Chill escape with good music on busy Elgin St!
