From tasty grilled steak to heart seafood, we’ll cover popular dishes for every foodie out there.SUR LIE RESTAURANTThe first three dishes we’ll mention below are offered by Sur-Lie restaurant. Located in the heart of Ottawa at the Byward Market neighborhood, Sur Lie restaurant prepares the best French cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant has a seasonal menu that features old and new world wines as well as handcrafted cocktails, a wide range of drinks and appetizers served at the restaurant. The dishes served at Sur-Lie are inspired by the rich local producers in the farmer’s market. From handmade pasta to delicious seafood, every dish is lovingly prepared to give guests the best experience an Ottawa restaurant has to offer.Foie Gras Three WaysYou know you can’t go wrong with foie gras. Known for its smooth and creamy taste, foie is full of delicious fat. This is one of the signature dishes at Sur Lie. It’s made using preserved blueberries sourced from Ontario’s Byward marketplace. The foie gras is combined with dark chocolate truffles to help balance the fat component from the foie. Although this luxurious treat is high in calories, it’s still healthy. Created by the French, foie gras is something you certainly want to try out at Sur Lie.Beef TenderloinAnother classic French combo you don’t want to miss is the beef tenderloin. This dish is made with one of the lowest fat cuts of beef. The potatoes and beef tenderloin blend perfectly together to form a savory dish. Nothing can compare to the beautiful texture of the tenderloin and silky-smooth carrot purée that adds some color and flavor to the dish. The finish looks picture perfect with classic French béarnaise and pan jus added at the top. This dish also contains potato starch which is added to substitute the need for cream as a binding agent. The end result is a healthy and tasty dish you’ll certainly want to try out.BC Black Cod BouillabaisseIf you’re looking for more flavors and components, choose this hearty seafood broth. Made with PEI mussels, crevettes and British Colombian black cod, this dish is savory sweet with lots of textures. The heart fish stew comes packed with lots of healthy ingredients and the perfect balance of seafood served with black cod and crevettes. The fragrant broth is a showstopper in this meal and will make it worth it if you’ve never eaten a Bouillabaisse before. Try this and you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of the south of France without ever leaving home.
