The booth was busy on a weekday evening, but the beaver tail was overly oily (dripped when we folded the beaver tail!). I've had them before in Ottawa and Vancouver, and this was the oiliest I have ever experienced. Maybe just a bad night?

Even though this goes against all my clean eating beliefs, it just has to be done ! I haven't had a Beavertail since skating on the Rideau Canal years ago when my kids were smaller.

This is a must stop for anyone in Ottawa. Been there numerous times and haven't had a bad one yet. I will continue to go here everytime I am in Ottawa. The staff and food are both top notch and no matter hat flavor of tail you choose, you won't be disappointed

BEWARE: They are...
