le poisson bleu

When it comes to dining out, there's one thing that everyone can agree on: Brunch is awesome. The idea of rolling out of bed late and going out to eat a mix of sweet and savoury bites, drink light alcoholic beverages and partake in a recounting of the prior night's events is therapeutic.

Unfortunately, it's also resulted in a cookie-cutter idea of what brunch looks like, making for far too many restaurants that serve up the exact same fare. I miss the days of soulful and creative brunch cooking, and apparently so do some restaurateurs in the capital, because they decided to make a difference in the city's brunch scene with these unique Ottawa restaurants.
