Elephant and Castle, Ottawa ON


Location: Elephant & Castle, Rideau Centre.

This bruschetta was alright, but suffered from two main problems - the baked pita bread base that was used instead of a more traditional baguette made it vulnerable to being soggy, which it unfortunately was. It was also served slightly burnt as the chef probably tried to compensate for the sogginess that pita can bring.

A light dusting of Parmesan left something to be desired in the cheese department. We felt that there could have been more variety in cheese choice and quantity.

The size of the dish was just right for an appetizer, as it left you wanting more but not completely unsatisfied. The presentation was nicely done as well, with careful postioning of the slices.

The verdict;
"We'd eat it again, but wouldn't die to."

6.5 / 10
