Its really hard to find quality food on campus, and for the same price at the cafeteria, you get much worse food, and not much quantity wise either. I agree that it's expensive, but no more than the rest of the food options at the university.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215590374800186542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697268.post-64597929561619659132012-12-11T19:11:10.914-05:002012-12-11T19:11:10.914-05:00Hi N Dinh,
Thank you for stopping by.

The first one the restaurant had closed for renovations. <br /><br />As for Premiere Moisson, I thought about not reviewing it. But I did visit and found the food wasn't right for me due to price. I had also looked at Anne DeBrisay who wrote Ottawa Magazine's review on it and she even noted the price. I reviewed it based on my observations price wise and on who the main clientele would be (i.e. the students). <br /><br />The food truck I visited afterward, Stone Soup Foodworks, was my back-up plan in case the first one doesn't work out. I've learned as a foodie that you should always have a back up plan in case your choice doesn't work out. <br /><br />Choices don't work out for several reasons including:<br /><br />1. Restaurant no longer exists (i.e. closed down) or has closed for a short time for renovations. <br /><br />2. The restaurant has too long a wait. Why wait 30+ minutes for a meal if your back up restaurant nearby has a shorter wait?<br /><br />3. Kitchen closed - happened once to me on a New Years Eve where the kitchen closed early but the pub across the street was still open and serving food. <br /><br />Thus, I did think about not posting, but thought the feedback on the pricing issue being the main reason I did not purchase food needed to be let known. <br /><br />Thank you again for visiting my blog, <br /><br />MichaelMichael Suddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922794404701194134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697268.post-44139213623668596852012-12-11T16:30:15.782-05:002012-12-11T16:30:15.782-05:00I find it hard to read a review that is biased by ...I find it hard to read a review that is biased by cost alone, especially in the comparisons to other food outlets on campus. Yes, the price point is significantly high, but the quality of the food is also high. If you don't taste the food, you can't make the judgement of whether there is any bang for the buck. Having had Premiere Moisson food in Montreal for several years and having tasted the products offered at the UofOttawa location, I personally found it worth the money. The food should be compared to Moulin de Provence or the French Baker in the Market, not food trucks or the Upper Crust (also expensive but not as good).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773101890783911221noreply@blogger.com
