I have recently visited a ‘tasteful’ little restaurant on Preston Street called Ristorante La Dolce Vita. They serve up some wonderful Italian recipes and also boast an amazing gluten-free menu. Their Gourmet pizzas are to die for.

They should surely be mentioned in the 101 Tastes.
Try them and you will believe. http://www.ladolcevitapreston.ca

Since this list was put together, I feel like I need to do a shout out to Edgar at 60 rue Bégin Gatineau (Hull sector). I go for the soups. Others can’t get enough of her paninis or bakery treats. Opened Halloween 2010. Maybe we will see it on the 2011 list. Maybe. 58 people rated it on Urbanspoon.com. 100% liked it. Sure Marysol has her groupies, but it appears that anyone lured there by all the buzz has left with belly happiness.

Although the Golden Palace’s egg rolls aren’t quite the posh of bison egg rolls found at La Trappe à Fromage, they just seem to be an Ottawa institution that is worthy of 101 Tastes status. People flock from miles around to get them. Many a GF egg roll has been security checked at the YOW.

We tried number 19 Barbe’s Roast Pork Sandwich. The sandwich was one thin slice of pork and not much taste. The total for 2 small sandwiches, 2 coffee and 1 small side of fries came to $19.50. I questioned the bill and was told the sandwich alone was $6. Unbelievable. Will never go back

This list is very interesting and I learned of a lot of new places.
I think I will “borrow” your idea and make my own list of my blog.
There are many other places that are not listed,and I would also like to see a list where people can get around by bus or bike…since I am vehicle challenged.

To the Ottawa Magazine, may I ask if you will be revisiting the list? As Anne pointed out in the comment above, we’ve a plethora of new products from Ottawa’s wonderful local producers.

Also, many of the local food bloggers are putting together checklists (myself included), now that your updated 101 lists to try are finally online.

Kudos for helping to make Ottawa’s signature foods accessible!

I have to give a shout out to 4 other high, high local quality products.

1) Siren Bakery’s granola (new in Ottawa as of May 2010) at local stores – check website.

2) William J Walter Saucissier on Boul Saint-Joseph by Rue Montcalm. To die for sausages. Good luck making up your mind. The selection is endless. I can’t eat anyone else’s sausages now. Prices decent.

3) La Cigale in Chelsea for their ice cream. On Rue Scott. Great garden outside too if you want to rest and lick.

4) michaelsdolce jams available at similar local stores to Siren Bakery. Check his website.
