Metropolitain Brasserie Restaurant

This fine restaurant in the lower level at the corner of Sussex and Rideau St. is one of our favorite Ottawa restaurants. The atmosphere is fairly authentic French brasserie with lots of cafe tables and tile mosaic floors.

The restaurant is also famous for it's long elegant bar, the focal point of the main dining area.

But, to the food. I've had the Steak Frites here numerous times, and it's always been excellent. Also, they have a nice beet root salad for starters. We've also tried the excellent seafood dinners and oysters and been very happy. We've eaten here with friends and family, and everyone's always had a great meal.

Recommended.

The washrooms are very nice, spacious and clean - and very cool in design. Nice big stainless steel sink, and old style fixtures.
