HELLO WEDNESDAY It’s our Wednesday Resto Roundup! With the overcast skies and talk of impending showers, it might be a good night for a curry. India Curry Kebab House 39 Clarence Street, Byward Market has all the favourites, from Chicken Tikka, to samosas, to Vindalho. [India Curry Kebab House] We’re thinking ahead to the weekend, and we might need to hit up Bar Laurel for a curbside pick up dinner and a bottle of wine on Saturday. Their Dinner for 2 packages include a selection of tapas for two people for $69 (+ tax) and they’ve got a range of reds, whites, and rosés from Spain and around the world to wash down all that yummy food. [Bar Laurel] Green Rebel Restaurant is one of a growing number of Ottawa area businesses that are pivoting to groceries sales during the pandemic. So, in addition to ordering one of their tasty salad boxes, pizza kits, or soups, you can request a delivery of fresh fruit and veg, eggs, bread and great local products like Against the Grain flours and Bluebarn coffee roasters from Wakefield. [Green Rebel] NarCity has been all over Drip House Cafe’s Korean Style Hot Dogs with a full breakdown of the gooey, flaky treat. [NarCity] [Driphouse] We'll see you tomorrow – Martha and Darren |
