The Filling Station - Ottawa

Fun and Friendly Great selection and they have both take out and tables (really nice to enjoy the good weather on a patio/parking lot) I had the lamb vindaloo on a naan wrap and really enjoyed it, good flavor and filling.

Though I found that the prices were high, for pretty much soups, sandwiches and salads, I liked the location. I would have be satisfied if the presentation, service and quality made up for the cost. Unfortunately they did not. I attended twice and both times, I was unimpressed.The sandwiches consisted of a two leaves of Romaine lettuce, (which wilted quite quickly) and the sparse contents of ingredients. When cut open, they were quite disappointing.The unusual combination of items seems to be the justification for the elevated prices. The creative sandwich combinations do have potential, but unfortunately they lack substance and quantity, considering it's more of a take-out than sit-in establishment and the inflated prices. The hospitality of the back cook is quite lacking as well. His body language says that he is annoyed and bothered that you place an order, instead of taking a pre made one. On both occasions, it looked like a two year old had wrapped my sandwich. I'm not sure if it was out of spite for making him work or lack of know how. I feel the success of a restaurant can be measured by recommendations; unfortunately I could not in good conscience suggest eating lunch here to my colleagues. Positives- Soups are homemade and The Chicken orient Salad is fantastic!

Such a great variety of unique foods. Both hot and cold meals. All the soups are 100% homemade, and you can tell. Everything is fresh and made daily. The Cajun flavoured chips are sooo addictive. Very friendly staff. I eat here almost every day. Highly recommend!

Went here this morning for a breakfast sandwich and ended up picking up lunch as well. They have an excellent selection for both, the lunch options are especially good. I had the western on a biscuit for breakfast and the cubano for lunch. Coffee was fantastic as well. I'll definitely be coming back, 5 stars!

I have eaten at The Filling Station twice now. The soups and sandwiches are are made in house by people who care about what they are doing and it shows. You should give it a try. You will not be disappointed.
