Featuring Amazing Newcomers:


 
Located in an iconic culinary building on Nepean Street, Chef Adam Vetterol and his business partner, Chris Schlesak have just opened one of the most unique Italian inspired restaurants to appear on Ottawa's food scene.  

The restaurant space has been transformed into a comfortable, casually elegant space, perfect for sharing time and food with friends.  A new window into the kitchen allows diners to connect with the culinary team and the service staff, led by Schlesak, is outstanding.

The food is very unique.  Influenced by other south-eastern european traditions, Vetterol's expression of Northern Italian family meals is comforting and powerful.  



North of 7 Distillery

 


How did two Ontario boys, Greg Lipin and Jody Miall, develop a love and appreciation of small-batch bourbon, so much so that they conspired to open a first of its kind micro distillery in Ottawa?The connection seems incongruous, but in truth it was their love of rock climbing. Both are long time, avid rock climbers who regularly travel down into the hollers of Kentucky on climbing trips.  It was there they developed an appreciation for the ‘brown spirits.’  This love led to the touring of distilleries in the region, and the purchasing and enjoying of many different types of bourbon and other american whiskies.

In the true artisan spirit, every level of production is handled in-house, including mashing and fermentation, distilling, barrel aging, bottling, and packaging.

Their unique line of hand-crafted spirits includes whisky, rum, gin, and vodka.
 


Our Friend Chef Danny Mongeon is Opening a New Restaurant!
Share Freehouse

Born and raised in Ottawa, Chef Danny Mongeon began cooking at the age of thirteen for Neil Tully, executive chef of Friday's Roast Beef House. Neil took Danny under his wing and began to teach him the ways of the kitchen.
This experience proved to be very educational and rewarding. Danny felt his vocation was a career in cooking.

After working under some of Ottawa's greatest Chefs, Danny helped open Brut Cantina Sociale in downtown Hull.  The restaurant was an instant hit and helped Mongeon gain the confidence to open his own restaurant.  Soon, Hooch was conceptualized.  Mongeon's take on southern cuisine, seafood and raw plates stunned diners when the doors opened.  His creative menu changed frequently and was paired with craft cocktails and small batch bourbon whiskey.

"I really can relate to this important cause, said Chef Mongeon.  There was a time in my youth when I witnessed the good things the Shepherds of Good Hope do.  I'm proud to help them raise money to continue their work."

Danny will be opening a new restaurant in April called Share Freehouse.  Watch for news about how he turns Ottawa dining on it's ear again.
