Local Food/100 mile diet - Ottawa

[jesleb]

Going to be in Ottawa in a few weeks and would like to eat at a nice restaurant that highlights local foods and/or the 100 mile diet.

Being a market gardener/lamb farmer, my husband and I are really in to these types of eateries.

Any suggestions would be great. I have done a lengthy search, but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks all!

Domus Bistro, Les Fougeres, Beckta and Wellington Street Gastropub are a few that I know that like to base their menu around regional/Canadian food. Ottawa doesn't exactly have the ideal climate for the 100 mile diet and few people I know get hung up about some hard limit, but those places all appear to source their food from producers in Ontario, Quebec or other places in Canada.

Definitely Sweetgrass Aboriginal Bistro, which is probably the best restaurant I've eaten at in Ottawa:

Make sure to make a reservation, or you could be in for a substantial wait depending on the night.

Here is a link to a list of restaurants that are members of Savour Ottawa and are generally concerned with serving a high percentage of locally sourced foods:
