✨ Go where the food feels like a whisper in French, cozy yet confident, familiar yet unexpected. This winter, Gitanes is turning up the flavour for Capital City Bites. ✨

At classic French bistro magic meets local Ottawa soul. Think carefully selected Canadian ingredients, sustainably sourced seafood, standout steak frites, thoughtful cocktails, and a wine list that’s almost as charming as the dining room down the Elgin Street ramp. It’s exactly the kind of table you’ll remember after the last forkful.

Here’s the Gitanes edition of Capital City Bites:

🦪 ½ dozen oysters — fresh off the raw bar and begging to be paired with wine

🥩 Steak frites — crispy, juicy, and done just right

🍐 Pear cheesecake — the sweet send-off that closes the night with a satisfied sigh

$75 per person

No swapping items, no “can we change…”, just show up ready for a mini French escape in the heart of Ottawa. Trust us, this is the kind of prix fixe that makes winter worth it.

Butter chicken, but make it a pot pie. Beef Wellington, but give it a passport. 🇮🇳🇬🇧

At EK Bar, Indo-British comfort food takes centre stage in a dining room that knows how to set a mood. This is where spice meets tradition, classics get curious, and indulgence is very much the point.

Start with vibrant EK slaw, a cheeky samosa tart, or charred chicken tikka. Move on to show-stopping mains like tandoori-spiced beef Wellington, butter chicken pot pie, coastal shrimp curry, or silky palak crowned with burrata and mini naan. Finish strong with jalebis, sticky toffee pudding, or bread butter pudding that leans fully into dessert joy.

A thoughtfully crafted three-course dinner for $45 that feels bold, comforting, and just a little bit regal. 👑✨

Hello Dolly Pastries is the kind of bakery you fall a little bit in love with.

Located in Hintonburg (992 Wellington St W), they’re best known for their hand-decorated sugar cookies. Thoughtful, beautifully made, and often cheeky, nerdy, or pop-culture inspired. Cookies with personality.

You’ll also find cakes, meringues, rotating sweet treats, and the occasional pastry day where fresh bakes disappear fast. The cinnamon buns? Gone immediately.

🎉 Capital City Bites perk: enjoy 10% off baked goods at Hello Dolly Pastries.

Proudly q***r- and neurodivergent-owned, rooted in community, collaboration, and a genuinely welcoming space.
