Dining Out, Ottawa Style: Famous Frenchy's


So it's been over a month since I updated this. Tara is sorry. Tara would also like to say that she is a graduate student, hence she has been writing essays for the last month.

But without further ado: another restaurant review!

Tonight, after working on two papers for most of the day, I decided I wanted to head out and pick something quick, easy, and bad for me for supper. So off to Famous Frenchy's I went!

Famous Frenchy's is a burger joint on Rideau, cross-street Augusta. It is pretty new, only opening up in June. Apparently, their trade secret is their hamburgers, which I will admit, I didn't try today. I wanted a poutine!

I walked in to find two people eating at a table, with two people ahead of me in line. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised. I never really saw anyone enter or exit the place. The two gentlemen ahead of me order burgers and had a lovely conversation with the owner.

When my turn came up, I ordered my poutine and talk to the owner. He's a real sweetheart with a big booming laugh. Though I did order a poutine and a coke, he still gave me a membership card. So after 10 hamburgers, I can get one for free. Not bad if burgers are your thing.

The grand total was about $7.50, which isn't bad for a medium poutine and a can of Coke. I waited about five minute and boom! Supper was served. I carried my little brown bag of heart attack goodness home.

Needless to say, it was a good poutine with lots of yummy melted cheese. Plus, they tossed in a roll of rocket candy, which was a sweet touch.

I will be back again, that's for sure. Maybe to try the hamburgers this time!
