Service super par la barmaid! J’ai pris le tasting menu avec le Wine paring, 65$ pour le wine paring est assurément une aubaine. Pour les plats tout était bon, bien balancés, sauf un qui était un style de bœuf braisé croustillant, c’était lourd et très salé. Ceci n’était pas en ligne avec la continuité du repas, poisson crus, calmars et la succulente caille ! Le dessert , je comprends l’effort autour du miel, un bon mélange de texture, mais rien de spectaculaire! L’endroit était tranquille, il avait une réception , donc les rideaux entre le bar et la pièce principale était fermés, ceci enlève à la beauté des lieux. Au final, un menu 5 services avec wine paring pour 200$, c’est bien, mais je vais y retourner pour les plants à la carte je crois .

We decided to journey though the tasting menu with wine pairing. Each course continued to impress, thinking how can it possibly get better, each pairing was perfect. It should also be noted, my wife has celiac disease, the chef was able to make slight adjustments to the menu to accommodate. If you are in Ottawa and want a truly culinary experience visit Backta
