10 reasons why your next on-campus meal should be at Restaurant International!

Located in H Building, Restaurant International is Algonquin College’s culinary teaching restaurant and a hidden gem of the Woodroffe Campus.

The restaurant offers a wonderful on-campus dining experience while giving students a hands-on learning laboratory that allows them the opportunity to practice and apply the skills they learn in their programs. Menus are created by students and faculty from culinary and hospitality programs in the School of Hospitality and Tourism, and food preparation and dining services are facilitated by students as part of their studies.

The ACX Team had the chance to visit Restaurant International recently and we have 1o very good reasons why you should make it one of your go-to spots on-campus to grab a meal!

1)The prices are unbeatable

Where else can you get an appetizer, main, and dessert for lunch for only $18? Or a three-course dinner for between $20 – $27. Most of the time you’re looking at more than $12 for fast food these days, or even $15 + for a main dish at a local casual restaurant. The value of what you can get at Restaurant International is really hard to beat.

2)Students get 25% off

That’s right! Not only are the prices already incredible for what you’re getting, you also get 25% off as a student!

3)It’s delicious!

Seriously! So good! It can easily be compared to the quality you would find at a casual fine-dining restaurant. Our ACX Team made sure to try a wide variety of the options available, and we were all so impressed.

4)Dietary restriction and allergy friendly!

If you have dietary restrictions this is the place to go! The restaurant takes dietary restrictions very seriously and can make accommodations and adaptations of many of their menu items.

5)You’re helping students learn

This is one of the ways that culinary and hospitality students get real world experience and can practice their skills before entering the workforce. By visiting the restaurant and eating tasty food you are supporting the learning process, so you can pat yourself on the back for your good deed 😊

6)Great for date night & special occasions

Restaurant International recently made some lovely updates to their dining room and paired with their exquisite food and lovely service, makes for a great option for a nice date night or special occasion. If your family comes to visit from out of town, this should be your go-to spot, it’s certain to impress your guests!

7)Also great for everyday

While it’s the perfect spot on-campus for date night, family visits, or special occasions, it’s also relaxed enough for an everyday visit. It doesn’t feel too formal, and the restaurant offers a nice ambiance to grab a tasty meal with a few friends during a break between classes.

8)Lots of healthy food options

If you’re looking for healthy food options, the restaurant has you covered! Get in your servings of vegetables and proteins to help fuel your studies! Being a student is hard work and your brain needs all the fuel it can get! Meals at Restaurant International are made completely from scratch so you can count on them avoiding pesky preservatives and other ingredients that you might find in more processed or pre-prepared food purchases.

9)Local and seasonal ingredients are utilized

The restaurant takes advantage of the wealth of options and suppliers when it comes to sourcing their ingredients. You can always count on seeing seasonal ingredients in meals in addition to some locally sourced products.

10)Dark Chocolate Lava Cake

Four simple words but a scrumptious dessert that alone is worth the trip to the Restaurant. Seriously, get the Lava Cake.

Restaurant International has limited hours in order to fit within timetables and student class times so make sure to check out their website and make a reservation to guarantee your table. Currently, they are open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday lunches and Wednesday through Saturday evenings. When attending Restaurant International, guests need to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination along with a photo ID.

Get into Spooky Season!

Are you a scaredy-cat and like the more wholesome spooky activities? (Me too) Try out Saunders Farm Haunting Season activities! They have pumpkin patches, hedge mazes, hay rides, whimsical play structures, an open-air spooky trail, and lots more. Want to pair spookiness with a tour of Ottawa? Try out one of the great haunted walking tours of the city. Looking for a fun spooky challenge with friends? Book a spook-tacular Escape Room experience. Want to experience 7000 pumpkins artfully carved and crafted? A little drive out of Ottawa will bring you to Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village, a “mesmerizing installation of artist-inspired, glowing pumpkins”.

Are you a full-on spooky season, give-me-all-the-scariness kind of person? Well then you’re going to love Fright Fest Nights at Saunders Farm! They have had 30 years to hone their terrifying scary scenes, so be ready for lots of scary fun. Want to delve into the paranormal? The Haunted Walk offers two, five ghost rated (that’s very spooky), paranormal public investigation tours. Explore the Mill of Kintail in Almonte, or head to Cornwall to venture into Historic SDG Jail (aka the Cornwall Jail). Closer to home to can get your fill of scary from The Sawmill at Lansdowne, another great haunted experience put on by the folks at Saunders Farm.

Enjoy tastes of the season.

Fall is another phenomenal season for flavours, fresh produce, fun beverages, and of course tasty treats!

Head over to Hintonburg & Wellington Village and experience some of the great local offerings with the Taste of Wellington West, one of the best Ottawa food festivals. This year they are offering both online and in-person events, and have an array of fun resources to point you to your new favourite tasty treat!

Get fully immersed in the season by going on a pick-your-own experience! Ottawa is central to some stellar offerings, there are a variety of places to choose from to go apple picking or to find yourself the perfect pumpkins.

Don’t forget about your local farmer’s market! Ottawa is home to four Farmers’ Markets, Orleans (Thursdays), Barrhaven (Sundays), Westboro (Saturdays), and Lansdowne (Sundays, Year-Round)!

And finally, while the weather is still agreeable, take advantage of the last of patio season! There are so many local spots to try and many of them offer seasonal dishes or spirits for you to enjoy.

Get active!

Walking and biking around Ottawa is a great way to see the sights and get to know the city at any time of the year. If you’re looking for a few extra fun active things you might enjoy doing this season, we have you covered!

Try out some challenging mountain biking and hiking up at Camp Fortune in Gatineau Park. Head out for a hike on one of the many trails through Ottawa, in the Greenbelt, or in Gatineau Park! Go adventuring in caves or try out the zip-line and high-ropes courses at Arbraska, just 30-minutes outside of Ottawa. Or try something completely unique at Eco-Odyssée’s paddle-boat water maze!

Enjoy the Fall Rhapsody!

Rhapsody
noun
1) an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling.

I’d say Fall Rhapsody is an accurate description for the amazing changing of seasons and the stunning colours and views that can be found while exploring just over the border in Québec. Don’t have access to a car to get out into Gatineau Park? No worries! The NCC is offering a FREE shuttle to some of the most popular Gatineau Park spots.

While you can go hiking or driving through the Gatineau Hills and other spaces over in Québec, these aren’t the only ways to enjoy the fall foliage. In addition to extensive active offerings, Camp Fortune has an exquisitely scenic chairlift that will take you soaring over the colourful leaves this season.

Whatever you get up to this season make sure to follow all public health guide lines for the places you are visiting.
