Meh, the baked goods are mid, and there are so many dogs in the restaurant. This isn’t a pet store, it's a cafe. There shouldn't be that many dogs inside. Anyone who is allergic to pet dander shouldn't go here.UPDATE: I got back from Ottawa and tried the Obama cookie. It's not good, it's just a gimmick. Don't waste your money on this place.

This bakery has a generous amount of options to choose from, both in terms of savory and sweet foods. The selection starts with drier pastries like brioches, croissants, and cookies of different varieties to slices of cakes (cheesecakes, charlottes, an assortment of mille feuilles tiramisu to name a few) of all sorts. The thing the bakery is best known for is its artistic cookies, and I can confirm they had loads. If you crave something savory they offer mini pizzas, salads, soups, and pastas. The place is large so you will most likely find somewhere to sit without issues, and they have wifi. My only negative feedback would be regarding the lack of dietary options. If you have an allergy (gluten, dairy, peanut) or are vegan there are frankly very few alternatives.Kid-friendliness: Loads of fun designs that would appeal to children, paired with a pleasant atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Its on the ground floor so no ramp is needed. The place is very spacious, so there shouldnt be issues when it comes to moving around

Just ordered a sausage roll to eat-in.Asked the girl if it's cooked, she said yes, but she'll microwave it to warm it up.Guess what...it's RAW!Just uncooked dough over a precooked sausage. Where do they hire these people when they don't even know their own products?? Won't be back, ever.

The richest breakfast I have had in Canada, all fresh and excellent presentation. I loved the attention, we were served by Juan Carlos, a Venezuelan ?? with a lot of charisma and a big smile. Thank you very much, I will definitely return to this place. ??The richest breakfast I have had in Canada, all fresh and excellent presentation.

Seeing Le Moulin de Provence is like seeing the Market Byward as its location blends in with this mythical place!
Meh, savoury food is overpriced and portions aren't great. Though there are 3 different styles of pizza (small round, larger round and 1/4s) it's heated in a microwave. Very disappointing for a "storied" Ottawa establishment. The pastries looked good, though we never tried them. Doubt we'll visit again.

This shop, famous for its "Obama Cookie," gained its reputation when the current Canadian Prime Minister, Mr. Trudeau’s good friend, former U.S. President, Mr. Obama, bought cookies here.In addition to cookies, they offer deli sandwiches, Danish pastries, and various baked goods. Located within the ByWard Market, I was entering from the back of the shop, but you might not miss the large photos displayed prominently from the visit of the Obama couple when entering from the front.You might wonder, what exactly is an "Obama Cookie"? It's just an ordinary icing cookie that you can buy in Canada, but its value skyrocketed just because Mr. Obama purchased it! Quite impressive, isn't it? You can also purchase a single cookie in a boxed souvenir.Many people were buying sandwiches and enjoying them on the patio or benches outside. Personally, it looked like the regular bread delicious.Why not visit as part of the buzz and see for yourself?Parking: There are no parking spots for ByWard Marcket but there are plenty of parking garage near by.
Nice spot for a coffee & a good
