Dining 101 [Ottawa]: Alirang
Restaurant: Alirang Location: 134 Nelson Street, Ottawa, ON Cuisine: Korean Menu: N/A Price: $10-15 I think I haven’t had Korean food for about a year, which seems quite strange because I remember times when I use to eat it almost everyday!

Restaurant: Colonnade Pizza Location: 461 Hazeldean Road, Ottawa, ON Cuisine: Italian/ Pizza Menu: http://www.colonnadepizza.com/new/id2.html Price: $10-15 A refreshing change from those Pizza Chains. From the family oriented service to the neighborhood restaurant interior, it feel very homey.

Restaurant: Hockey Sushi Location: 4055 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON Cuisine: Japanese/ Sushi Menu: http://kanata.hockeysushi.com/menu/index.php Price: $15-25 Probably the best All-You-Can-Eat Sushi in Kanata, but definitely not the best I’ve had. I still think Sushi Kan is probably still the best I’ve had in Ottawa, but Hockey Sushi is decent although a bit overpriced for the quality. On a more … Continue reading
