He also reveals that his favourite thing about Ottawa is ‘the underdog extra effort that businesses in this city show’.
  •  Danielle Jeffery at Eat the Strip took a reader’s tip to visit My Thai Village in Kanata. One companion said the khao pad-sapparod with pork was a dish he had been seeking in Ottawa for years.
  •  Kiersten Vuorimaki at Apt 613 was ‘was totally blown away by the vermicelli’ at Saigon Boy, noting that ‘I’ve had my fair share of vermicelli in my time’. At Torta Boyz, she says that she shouldn’t tell anyone about the monthly birria night takeover. Reservations are hard to get and the star of the night is ‘the slow-cooked beef that is so tender it melts in your mouth, melty cheese in a taco shell, coated in sauce and pan-fried until crispy’. So, shhhh and watch the Torta Boyz Instagram-. She also liked Dumpling? Dumpling! on Bank Street.
