Sushi Lovers.... move to Toronto....

I wish there was decent sushi/sashimi in Ottawa... but really, there just ain't.....

New find in Toronto... if any of you are willing to travel.... At Eglinton and Mt Pleasant.... called oisi oyster..... see www.oisioyster.com.....

Just to show I have nothing against chinks who run jap restaurants... this is one run by a chinese guy, where they know how to do raw! Raw beef, fish (and they have toro, saki belly and uni...), lobster, even raw pork, if you ask...., oh yes and oysters..... and that's only the sashimi... the sushi rolls are pretty interesting as well.... and it's run by a chinese, as in chink..... lol.... so u see, I am not biased... just the chinks in Ottawa are too concern about milking the margins..... think it is actually against the Confucian philosophy on ethics and profits..... but that's another story...

ciao ciao... r

Indians in Ottawa, and other resto.... (Benitz, Fougeres, Navarra, Sans Pareil, Oz Cafe, etc ........

I noticed a few comments on Indian food in Ottawa... and I must say, the challenge is to find an Indian resto in Ottawa... that is even half decent.....

see rest of this site for my comments on the various indian resto's in Ottawa.... (there are a few... but changing....)

I know Indian food (ten years in India) and it sucks here.... big time...., in Ottawa..... (too much acclimatization to the Ottawa psyche....).... see comments on Ceylonta, etal....

And .... I also know Spanish and Portuguese food having lived in the region..... and Lebanon.... etc... so for all u anon guys... go lick a tree....

and much about french food... which is the only cuisine to negotiate the straits with the chinese .....

I will not write on Fougeres, Sans Pareil and Benitz Bistro ... as I do not find it worth my while.......... mediocre at best.... Sans Pareil has lost its Belgian-ese, Fougeres was uninspiring... rabbit dry, lamb indifferent and the rest... OK... and benitz... well a real disappointment.....

and Navarra, too cosmetic and superficial and probably a little too expensive for real 'world' diners.....

there is no hope for Ottawa... and I am glad I am leaving.....

Oz.... u can never get in....
