Prodigal son and wunderkind New York sommelier Stephen Beckta meets a fine lass at an Ottawa wedding, presents a ring and returns home. They set up shop in a restored Victorian townhouse, glowing yellow and blue. But a restaurant cannot rely on a stellar wine program alone, so they hire chef Stephen Vardy to craft ingredient-driven modern cuisine. Hope springs eternal with an amuse-bouche of homemade pastrami on a potato galette. Feelings bloom with a classic Lyon salad. Caramelized Hassleback scallops tarted up with kumquats, caper berries, truffled cauliflower purée and yuzu drizzle stir passionate feelings. Local ingredients and charming service plus teeny chocolate chip and cherry cookies to finish… A marriage made in heaven. 226 Nepean St., Ottawa, 613-238-7063  |   www.beckta.com ADD YOUR COMMENTS > letters@enroutemag.net Intro   |   1   |   2   |   3   |   4   |   5   |   6   |   7   |   8   |   9   |   10
