Petit Bill's Bistro
Ottawa, Canada
The read// why locals go
Petit Bill's Bistro calls itself a French bistro with a Newfoundland accent, and that hyphen is the whole idea. From a single room at 1293 Wellington Street West in Westboro, the kitchen cooks comfort food built on local meats, fish from sustainable fisheries and desserts made in house, sourced from farms it names rather than distributors it doesn't. It is a proper sit-down dining room: tables you book, private parties, the occasional event night. Mains land in the middle band rather than the special-occasion one. Two independent local sources point to it, which in Wellington West means neighbours rather than visitors.
