I’m in Ottawa on vacation with my son. After a fun day exploring the Canadian War Museum (which we are really enjoying — we need 2 days to take it all in), we were looking for some place to eat supper. Matthew told me about the UrbanSpoon app, so we loaded that on my iPad, and started looking for a place to eat.
We decided to try a pasta place called Flying Piggy’s Bistro, as the reviews sounded quite positive (91% positive!). It was kind of out of the way from where we’re staying, but I’m glad we tracked it down! I liked it so much, I signed up for an UrbanSpoon account and wrote the following review.
Our main courses were really good, but the soup we had was AMAZING! It was a coconut curry carrot, lamb, and squash soup, and it was fantastic!!! After that, I was really looking forward to the main course. Although it was really good, it didn’t measure up to the soup. I had the fettuccini ragu alla bolognaise, and Sonny-boy had the “flighty boar.” I have had better pasta, but I have absolutely no complaints about the meal.
Overall, I liked the atmosphere of the place — it was a Wednesday night that we went, and it was pretty quiet. Our waiter had a good sense of humour, but wasn’t overbearing. The meal came quick, and was filling. We were both full (and my “little boy” is 6 feet, 235 pounds), so we didn’t have dessert, but the orange triple sec cheesecake sure sounded good!
I thought the prices were a little high, but I’d recommend this place.
