42 Crichton - Ottawa

There are a few seats outside, but really it's take-out only. You won't mind this in nice weather, as Rideau Hall or the Minto bridges are just steps away for a nice picnic.42 Crichton has saved us so many times for delicious and nutritious hot 'home-cooked' dinners though. We often pick up their split-roasted chicken with veggies and it's as though it just came out of our oven (well, except I've never made a demi-glaze in my life). Gourmet saucy pulled pork poutine, a little deli selection (we pick up our dried sausage and cheeses here), a treat or 2 or 3 of the day, such as scones or chocolate ganache date cookies, or strawberry bread pudding or chocolate espresso brownie cake... Local, seasonal, and organic quality ingredients. You can taste the difference.

Absolutely check it out! _Lots of nutritious, yet sumptuous mains, soups, sides, and desserts on offer.__Go in and have a cappucino while you pick out
