Premiere Moisson - Ottawa

Make sure to try the almond croissant, it's absolutely amazing! I can't stop thinking about it!

I recently tried one of the best cups of coffee in Ottawa at this restaurant. Their dark roast was exceptionally strong, similar to stove-top espresso rather than traditional drip coffee, but it was still surprisingly smooth. If you prefer to add milk or cream to your coffee, be prepared to add more than usual to achieve your desired coffee-to-dairy ratio because of its bold flavor.

I had no trouble getting served in English on all my visits. Bottom line: go get a baguette or a croissant. You won't regret it!
