Some friends (thank you Clarah Germain of the Germain Hotels) warmly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First impressions, the place is beautiful, the atmosphere is very relaxed, a pretty decor felted with lamps very design, in short, exactly what I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sit at the bar of the Fauna (little thing, it&#8217;s always the best place the bar). And I greet Julian, he offers me a derivative of his winning cocktail, the Blue Sea, (Gin Ungava, cucumber, black pepper syrup grapefruit juice and lemon decorated with a bird pepper), It&#8217;s a delight !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The menu and making friends as the Fauna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I listen to people next to my table, and they speak French, surprising all the same. Curious chance, it is the columnist of the Food section at (among others) Montr\u00e9al&#8217;s La Presse Eve Dumas and her former boyfriend (Jean-S\u00e9bastien Michel from <a href=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/en\/fine-dining\/alambika-boutique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alambika<\/a> cocktail accessories) who are right next to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, when life makes signs to you, you do not have to ignore them, so I order my first dish. Named greens, this is actually a salad of caramelized goat cheese with a crisp chicken skin of cherry tomatoes and a truffle and lemon vinaigrette. Purely perfect. So good after my race, an incredible balance, a dish that burst full of flavors. That yes. It was after this dish that I met the sommelier of the place Alex McMahon (now at Arlo Sommerset), a friend of Clarah I mentioned above. It will make me discover a lot of delicious juices throughout the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-52430\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Fauna-Ottawa-The-Menu.jpg\" alt=\"Fauna Ottawa---The-Menu\" class=\"wp-image-52430\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Menu<br>Photo: Normand Boulanger | Gentologie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the second course served with <a href=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/en\/fine-dining\/pearl-morissette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pearl Morissette&#8217;s<\/a> Cuv\u00e9e Roselana, A Canadia wine from Niagara winery I visited the year before, I went with the fried mushrooms made of morels, chanterelles, wooden ears, maitake, miso mayo, preserved lemon, polenta and sprinkled with Sherry. Perfection. I could not ask for more, I could have done the plate and I wanted more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-52434\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Pearl-Morissette-Roselana-Fauna-Ottawa-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pearl-Morissette-Roselana---Fauna-Ottawa\" class=\"wp-image-52434\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pearl Morissette Roselana<br>Photo: Normand Boulanger | Gentologie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the rest, it was a game tartare, with fermented radish, garlic, rhubarb cream, smoked pear mayonnaise, olive oil powder and toast. Once again, a big wow. Reversing, a beautifully balanced dish, flavors that blend perfectly. The whole thing was served to me with a red wine whose name I do not remember anymore. Actually, I was poured to try. They were all natural wines, like the \u00be of the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For dessert, it was citrus + vanilla. A vanilla mousse, a lemon curd, almond juice and a gelato. All with an espresso, poured to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After interesting discussions and beautiful wines, it&#8217;s time to leave the fauna and return for a beautiful night in a bed more than comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">425 Bank Street<br>Ottawa, ON<br>Canada<br>K2P
