On a two day getaway to the National Capital region we found ourselves needing to get lunch before going to the Canadian Museum of History. A quick TripAdvisor check in led us to this gem of a place. Located on a closed off section of...streets in an artsy enclave. Tiny inside, but with a great outdoor terrace ( patio ) we staked a place in the sun and checked out the menu. Very eclectic and imaginative offerings were the rule. My wife and I shared a starter of duck carpaccio that was delightful. I selected a session IPA and my wife had one of their by the glass wine selections, a pinot noir that was suggested by our server, Sean. For our main we both went with one of their specials, la Grosse Seduction ( the Big Seduction ) a veal burger on a brioche bun, superbly garnished with mushrooms, cheese and bacon along with fresh toppings. Along for the ride were triple fried fresh cut fries with an aioli mayo. All delivered piping hot with great efficiency by the staff. Sean merits a special shout out for his pleasant demeanor and helpful guidance throughout. He suggested a finale of homemade churros with a maple dipping sauce that was beyond good. All in all, a great experience that I have already suggested to my nephew and his girlfriend who will be moving to Gatineau in the fall.
