Good food is all the sweeter when shared with good friends.

Well we are back in Ottawa just for a couple of days before we head out again to Nova Scotia. Since our time in Ottawa is limited, we seize the moment and try to spend the time with friends. So today we decided to try a new restaurant in the area and spend some time with our friends Ted and Kelly.
Pinelopi’s is a unique little Greek restaurant, in a tiny little strip mall in Barrhaven. If you are not actually specifically looking for it, you will miss it. It was an amazing find! The food was extravagant with unique flavours to tantalize your palate. They serve a variety of Classic and Modern Greek dishes, many different colorful drinks and of course unique imported Greek Beer (Yep you guessed it; Jo had the beer). Our favorite “awe moment” was when they brought out the Saganaki flaming Greek cheese as our first course. Traditional Moussaka, Penne Antonia, Santorini Chicken and the special lamb wrapped in phyllo pastry with veggies were a few of the amazing dishes we tried. And to end the meal we had a carrot cake cheese cake. Imagine someone put a carrot cake into a cheese cake instead of cream cheese icing; simply divine!
To top a perfect evening off, a special Greek drink on the house. It is always nice to travel with people who know people!
Definitely above a 10 on any scale!
