LTO's Genevieve, Jessey and Amy at Ottawa's Taste of Preston Street
Last weekend, the lovely folks over at Savvy Company invited Local Tourist Ottawa founders Amy and Jessey, as well as our pizza-loving contributor Geneviève, to attend La Vendemmia’s Taste of Preston Street Food and Wine Show. As I’m sure you can imagine, we were thrilled.
Celebrating the abundance of Preston Street’s Italian and international restaurants alongside some really nice wine, we’re not ashamed to say that between the three of us we sampled just about everything.
It was glorious.
Of course, there was wine...
and pizza....
...and so much more.
A plate of sweets from Pasticceria Gelateria Italiana & Simply Biscotti
The Prescott's famous meatballs (they're famous for a reason)
Delicious deliciousness from Stoneface Dolly's
Amazing clam chowder from Big Easy's Seafood and Steak House
Seriously creative treats from Reggina Pastry
More from Reggina Pastry
The greatest Italian pastry of all, again from Reggina Pastry
Local Tourist Geneviève, who headed straight for the pizza...
Butternut squash soup, clam chowder, escargot, biscotti, ravioli....
A huge thanks to the organizers of this event for including LTO, and for working so hard to put together such an incredible showcase.
It was wonderful to sample the huge diversity of food that Preston Street has to offer, as well as rub shoulders (and clink glasses) with other local bloggers and foodies.
Of course, we also got to meet Geneviève, one of our very favourite Local Tourists, in person for the first time!
