Chef Jonny Korecki at Ottawa’s first Noodlefest, plating up bowls of entirely scratch-made ramen.

Across the street is Murray Street Kitchen, Wine and Charcuterie (110 Murray Street). Ottawa is home to 1,128 farms. Farm-to-table may be a fad in other cities, but it isn’t here, especially after Chef Steve Mitton and Paddy Whelan opened Murray Street Kitchen in 2008. Both formerly of Peter Boole’s Social, they exposed the city to its first charcuterie bar. Serving Canadian contemporary comfort with Austrian and German influences, Murray Street has a strong “local” ethic. The menu constantly changes to accommodate available meat and produce. Soul-satisfying plates are whimsically named, oftentimes after farmers. Think pork cretons, gnocchi in smoked lamb bolognese and duck fat poached beef short rib. In 2009, Air Canada’s En Route magazine listed Murray Street Kitchen as one of Canada’s “Best New Restaurants.” Even John Cattuci of Food Network Canada’s national travel program You Gotta Eat Here stopped by in 2012 to film a segment.
