Right next to the "Beaver Tail" business but is the total opposite as in gluten free. The lovely lady in charge greeted us in French. Then she switched to English for our benefit. The range of gluten free products not only pastries but bread of all sorts. The array of goodies is like an alladdins cave full of goodies.They also do catering and or lunches which is very useful for business people on a break. Sadly the lady in charge said business is quiet at the moment due to renavations to the houses of parliament. The huge throngs of visitors normally come to the Olive and Chili for coffee break or lunch. So I hope for her sake the builders finish up and the tourists return. The other thing about her friendly shop is that they do lovely coffee.Well worth a visit.Seamus M thank you for visiting Olive & Chili where our kitchen, bakery, pastry and coffee shop is 100% gluten-free and celiac safe with no possible cross contamination. All products are made on the premises by our in-house Chefs including the catering. Hope to see you again soon and thank you for taking the time to post a review.

Preâconcert dinner so looking for something reasonably quick, filling at a good price point. This is a wee dining space that provides taste and freshness in its huge platters. Chicken and lamb kabobs, tender and cooked to our specs and accompanied by tender steamed/roasted potatoes and flavourful rice, and Greek salad. Beer and Greek wine choices offered. Steady stream of regulars in for dinner and takeaway. Friendly owner/manager and wait-staff. You wonât leave hungry or disappointed.Accessible at street level. Ample street parking in the area (free after 6 pm).

Everything written on TA about this place is spot on. There is no direct parking but for the shipping mall across the street. The entrance is unassuming inconspicuous and uninspiring. Once you get past this, you will be overwhelmed by the friendliness, the menu and the taste of the food. Authentic, tasty, spicy Piri Piri chicken, great fries, salad, fish dishes. And oh so reasonable in price. Go! You will not be disappointed. Obrigado.Thanks

Leave behind your pre-formed ideas of middle eastern food - Fairouz goes in a fresh, creative direction, while retaining the flavors you love.Situated in a cozy old home, on a lively street of former residences now populated by restaurants, Fairouz is an off-the-beaten path stand out in Canada's capital. Sumac chicken, stuffed artichoke and fried cauliflower are a among the stars here -- but there are not bit players. Everything is great.

Reviewed By Lyn B
The meze formula really worked for us, with a succession of small but beautifully cooked sharing dishes. What a good way to solve the all too common problem of 'super-size me' portions! It was very busy when I visited and service was a little slow, but very friendly and personal. We were impressed to be offered a complimentary extra dish when I ordered something my partner did not like.Although each dish is small, we found five dishes plus a desert was plenty enough for two.The absence of Musak was another plus.The only minor gripe I had was that the stark decor meant the restaurant room became rather noisy with conversation when it was full.

Shawarma Palace has been the benchmark in the National Capital Region for the Shawarma Industry since 1996. We are proud to remain a locally owned and family operated franchise. Every trip to Ottawa deserves a stop at Palace!
Reviewed By GlobetrottingMomma
We decided to have shawarma at my workplace for our spring BBQ instead of the usual hot dogs and hamburgers and it was an absolute hit! The set-up was a buffet style. However, all guests were served by two gentlemen from the restaurant that were extremely polite and all smiles. Although I was a little stressed about having so many people depend on me for lunch, they reassured me that this was peanuts for them. Well, they were absolutely right! They served all our guests with extreme efficiency. The portions on our plates were more than enough for the amount we each paid (bonus: we had plenty of leftovers for the organizing committee), but the taste is what made people come up to me to give their thanks for such a fantastic BBQ, as if I had cooked the food myself! They were extremely satisfied with their experience. Note to self: Shawarma Palace for next year's BBQ... and my family's next restaurant outing!

My husband and I went to Chez Fatima with and at the recommendation of local friends who had yet to try it. We were all dellighted with our dinners and with the warm welcome and great service. The value-pricing makes it accessible for more than a rare treat, which is appreciated because there are so many exotic treats to try. We wish this was OUR neighborhood restaurant, but we look forward to going back next time we visit our friends in Gatineau.
