La Casa Del Gusto - Ottawa

As I slowly get comfortable with the hybrid workplace, I am also enjoying finding new places to enjoy.La Casa Del Gusto didn’t disappoint. I was tempted by the Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich, but was also considering a burger.The Gusto Burger won out and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The combination of BBQ sauce, goat cheese, bacon and tortilla chips was simply wonderful. The fries were a suitable and equally enjoyable side.Service was friendly and engaging and more than willing to help one make a decision.The menu (see the photos below) is extensive, which means more opportunities to try the smoked meat, wraps and other options.I’ll be back.

Big and spacious ideal during covid. A fabulously large menu something for everyone. They transform the restaurant on nights when they have a jazz duo, making it feel much more upscale.

Good food and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the live music. The patio is beautiful in the summer.

Great space and atmosphere. Almost a combo between a sports bar and diner. However food was abysmal. Ordered Nachos which came with very little cheese and small pieces of onion, pepper and tiny mushroom. The club sandwich was decent. Caesar salad had no romaine consisted solely of spinach and leafy veg. Extremely small portion size. Poutine was good again very little cheese curds. Wouldn't visit again.

What an amazing experience!Decided to come in here after work and I decided to try the smoked meat platter. It was such a great experience.Very friendly waitress and I loved the platter as well. The atmosphere is also really cozy!
