Sweetgrass Restaurant Review
NEW BISTRO MASTERS ABORIGINAL CUISINEAARON SHAW
WARREN AND PHOEBE SUTHERLAND REFINE THE MENU AT SWEETGRASS ABORIGINAL BISTRO
"Sweet" is in the name, but Sweetgrass Aboriginal Bistro is definitely about
the savoury too. Billing itself as Ottawa's first and only restaurant featuring
First Nations cuisine, it's the inspiration of chefs and owners Phoebe Sutherland
and her husband Warren. The two honed their skills at the New England Culinary
Institute and took over the locale of dessert purveyor Oh So Good on Murray Street.
The chefs worked for a time in Arizona, and that influence is reflected in the chipotle glazed salmon and Pueblo grilled smoked pork chop. The menu is organized by "starters," "in betweens," "mains," and "sides" and features fare such as caribou, quail and buffalo. It was being revamped recently to incorporate new seasonal items like venison and rabbit.
