For my first post, I want to write about one of our favorite restaurants, and very happily, it is a neighborhood restaurant only minutes away from us. Table 40. Located on Springfield Avenue, the owner's first restaurant, Fraser Café, is also a gem in the neighborhood located right next door, but Table 40 is one of the first "family-style dining" establishments in Ottawa. Opened for only a few years now, they serve dinner on Monday nights only, and their website normally posts their Monday night dinners up to 4 weeks in advance (note that the restaurant is available for private functions on most other nights).
We've enjoyed likely nearly 10 different meals at Table 40 and not one has ever disappointed in any way. Every Monday night dinner is comprised of 3 courses (although the plentiful portion sizes makes it feel like 4 or 5 courses) and the menus always include both a white and red wine pairing recommendation to compliment the set menu. The wine pairings are selected with great care and knowledge and highly recommend that you give them a shot with your meal. Some high points for us: the chef is a master with both duck and pork entrées (that said, the chicken and beef tried here were also wonderful), and the desserts...oh the desserts. For about $40 per person (taxes and wine extra) it is one of the most delicious and well priced meals you will enjoy in Ottawa. The staff are friendly and fun and I love supporting a neighborhood joint.
Below you'll find a slideshow of some of the delicious meals we've enjoyed at Table 40. Do yourself a favor, take a night off from cooking on a Monday night and make a reservation. After your first meal, you'll have a really hard time resisting going back every week. If money (and my waistline) weren't a factor, I would be here every Monday night for dinner! http://frasercafe.ca/table40/
