The saying “When one door closes, another opens” certainly applies to Ottawa’s restaurant scene as of late. In the last several months, the city has lost a few popular locales, but many others are about to spring up. Here’s what you might have missed.
The Captain’s Boil restaurant on Elgin Street is expected to open soon.
The restaurant: The Captain’s Boil
Location: 354 Elgin St. (The former location of Fresco Bistro Italiano and The Guest House)
Food and drink: Seafood in a bag. You heard that right. With more than a dozen locations around Toronto and across the country, this unique approach to food service looks like a trend that might be catching on. The seafood — from clams and mussels to lobster and shrimp — is steamed or boiled then placed in a BPA-free bag, along with veggies and a sauce of your choice.
Specialty: Seafood, particularly shellfish.
Opening: April 2017
Price range: $11 to $20
Fun fact: The only way to eat this fare, called a “seafood boil,” is with your hands. The restaurant does not provide forks or chopsticks. Just peel, dip and eat.

Albion Rooms Executive Chef Jesse Bell.
The restaurant: The Albion Rooms’ Heritage Room Gastropub
Location: 33 Nicholas St. (The site of the former Albion Hotel, which is now connected to the Novotel Hotel)
Food and drink: Canadian-inspired food that includes crispy mackerel, elk tartare, and mushrooms on toast served with kale pistou on house-made sourdough focaccia.
Specialty: Elk burgers, served with old cheddar, black pepper molasses bacon, lettuce and tomato, with a side of buttermilk ranch triple-cooked chips or iceberg wedge.
Opening: Just opened in March
Price range: $7 for soup to $36 for a rib-eye steak.
Fun fact: The site of the former Albion hotel, built in 1871, is steeped in rich Ottawa history given its location across from the former Carleton County Courthouse (now Arts Court). It was a popular meeting spot for lawyers and university students, as well as jurors who were often housed when they unable to finish deliberating before midnight.

Rice bowl with chicken breast at Pi-Rho Grill in Barrhaven.
The restaurant: Pi-Rho Grill
Location: Elgin Street, inside the old Boushey’s Fruit Market location. (The exact address will be determined by the city. It will be either 344 or 346 Elgin St.)
Food and drink: Pi-Rho serves fresh, quick food, with staffers pulling together pita wraps, grain bowls and sandwiches in an assembly-line style. Customers move along the queue, choosing from a variety of meats, including Ontario lamb and Angus beef, or toppings that include sauces made in-house. The owner, George Plagakis — who calls his restaurant the “fine dining of fast food” — opened his first location last year in Barrhaven, and its popularity prompted him to open the new 34-seat downtown restaurant.
Specialty: Quick-serve Mediterranean pita wraps, salads and grain bowls, plus local beers.
Opening: May 2017
Price range: $8.75 to $12.25 for salads, grain bowls, pita sandwiches
Fun fact: Pi-Rho is environmentally conscious of its building materials and waste management. The restaurant’s take-out containers, cups and cutlery are all compostable.

The chicken burrito with a side salad, served with a lime margarita at Zak’s Cantina.
The restaurant: Zak’s Cantina
Location: 10 ByWard Market Square, on the north side of Zak’s Diner.
Food and drink: Classic Mexican fare. Think tacos, burritos, chimichangas and enchiladas. There’s also house-made chips, salsa and guacamole, and you can even order a side of nachos. Enjoy your meal with a pitcher of sangria or a margarita made with fresh lime juice.
Specialty: Mexican, but they also have a fun spin on Canadian classics such as the “Street Dog,” a jumbo hot dog wrapped in bacon and topped with fresh salsa, shredded lettuce, refried beans, avocado ranch and tortilla straws.
Opening: May 15, 2017
Price range: $4 for a single taco to $14 for a full meal.
Fun fact: A South American-inspired bus in a section of the restaurant will be used for some seating. The restaurant, which is family friendly, will seat more than 100 people.

Patrons at the Clocktower Brew Pub.
The restaurant: The Clocktower Brewhouse
Two new locations: 2010 Trim Rd. in Orléans and Rideau Street at the corner of Nicholas Street.
Food and drink: Casual to upscale pub fare that includes everything from falafel wraps and turkey pho dip to honey salmon and steak with mashed potatoes. The restaurant, which also serves brunch, sports several flat screen televisions.
Specialty: Fish and chips and a full range of craft beers.
Opening: Orléans location opening in April; downtown location opening in June.
Price range: $10 to $19.
Fun fact: The Clocktower is Ottawa’s first and largest local brew pub chain.
