A Steakhouse With a View You Will Not Forget
Ottawa has no shortage of restaurants, but finding a place that combines exceptional beef, an impressive wine list, and a genuinely stunning setting is harder than it sounds. Sterling Restaurant, tucked into Gatineau just across the river, might be exactly what you have been looking for.
Located at 835 Rue Jacques-Cartier in Gatineau, Sterling is only about 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa - short enough for a weeknight treat or a special occasion dinner.
Canadian Prime Beef, Top 2%
Sterling's menu centres on Canadian Prime beef, the highest grade produced in Canada, representing just the top 2% of all cattle graded by the Canadian Beef Grading Agency. The designation indicates exceptional marbling - the fine network of fat within the muscle that gives premium beef its distinctive flavour and tenderness.
The Wine List
Sterling is said to offer the largest wine selection in the region. The kitchen also offers a four-course Table d'Hote menu for $85, making it easier to plan a special night out.
Practical Details
Reservations are recommended given the restaurant's reputation. Vegetarian options are available. For Ottawa residents who love a great meal and want to venture just across the river, Sterling is worth a visit.
