Our beer is made in our 18 hectolitre, two-vessel brewhouse, including one bright tank and five single fermentation tanks. We produce a variety of beer styles made with quality ingredients and the careful attention of our talented brewers.

Our kitchen produces creative and contemporary takes on classic comfort foods from around the globe, with ingredients sourced locally and seasonally. The food complements drinking and conversation, perfect for snacking and sharing over an afternoon or evening of conviviality.

Flora Hall Brewing is built on quality drink and food, with a focus on ensuring that our customers, be they longstanding or first time, are delighted in every respect. We hope you’ll gather with us soon!

We are a food-centric, hospitality driven company defined by the excellence of our dynamic and professional team. We take pride in delivering our services to you. Whether you choose our catering services to celebrate special occasions or embark on a cooking journey through our classes or savour a delectable home-delivered meal, we’re here to share the joy of food.

The urban element is committed to the notion that good food belongs everywhere; that food can motivate, inspire, educate and entertain. We maintain this idea, whether we are feeding 12 people or 300 people; whether we feed students or executives; no matter what venue or locale. We bring creativity and meticulous attention-to-detail to everything we engage in, and our brand and reputation in Ottawa speaks to this commitment.

Our professionally-trained chefs are connoisseurs who have devoted themselves to perfecting their craft and preparing food that looks just as good as it tastes. Our seasonal + local menus will impress all of your guests and leave them discussing the food for years to come!

Ric Watson

Chef Ric’s embraces the legacy of the former Rideau Bakery. Established by the Kardish Family (1930), which provided warmth and a feeling of home for 90 years. ‘Chef Ric’s’ follows this vision through:

1. healthy and affordable prepared foods;
2. an expanded catering service; and
3. an expanded Food Services Training Program

Chef Ric’s is a unique social enterprise for The Ottawa Mission and a community asset for people from all walks of life. We’re so grateful for our donors and partners for your support to help even more people in need.

Known for our exceptional hospitality, we have assembled an incredible team of professionals to care deeply for you and your guests during your time with us. Our critically-acclaimed fine dining menus are inspired, modern, and seasonal. We offer two menus to choose from at dinner: a delicious à la carte menu, or a five-course, interactive chef’s tasting menu with optional wine pairing for our most elaborate experience.

Play food & wine will make serious food fun and accessible to many types of guests by offering an inspiring menu, legendary service, outstanding values and a culinary home for our guests in which they can spend a variety of occasions.

All of our dishes are modest portions designed to share. This allows guests to sample a few different dishes without having to commit to just one main course as in a traditional restaurant.  Our menu changes frequently, respecting product availability and seasonality.

We are committed to working with our many great suppliers to source the best and most flavourful ingredients possible.  We use local, sustainable and seasonal products whenever possible, and believe in supporting area farmers as much as we can.

Brian & Lisa: Co-Owners

Since 2009, Brylee farm offers country style dining meals. The Maloney family’s heritage barn was transformed into a dining hall where we offer a unique culinary experience. The meat on the menu comes from our farm and is cooked on the famous Parilla, which is an argentine barbeque. This barbeque is a big attraction in our region. 90% of our menu is local products. We can accommodate groups from 10-100 people in our dining room. If you would like more information or you would like to reserve a date for a group please contact us.
