Fairouz is one of our favourite restaurants in Ottawa. We always get amazing service from the serving staff (thank you Taylor!) and of course the kitchen (chef Walid is a superstar). Every time we go, we just order the tasting menu so we don't have to make any hard decisions, and we have never been disappointed. They change things up often to keep the menu very interesting and delicious. Thanks again for a wonderful Friday evening!
