Tardes Calenas Inc - St-Hubert Canada

The food is excellent, friendly staff, family atmosphere.

What kind of place closes at 7pm on a Friday???it was hard for the last 2 years bla bla bla, obviously you don’t want to make money when you close at 7pm on a Friday after 2 years of lockdown. Was going to be my first time but it was my last instead.

Good Traditional Colombian restaurant . It is small and designed with souvenirs from Colombia which is really cool. The waitress was very nice and helpful. They did not have any vegetarian options on the menu so I asked if they could make something vegetarian and they said yes, the chef even came out and explained it to me before making the dish which I really appreciated. This place is also gluten-free friendly which is a plus. Majority of the bread is made with either plantain or pan (corn flour). For our drinks we had the lulu (little orange)and mora (blackberry) juice. They both tasted so fresh and natural compared to other places we have tried in Ottawa. For our appetizers we got the pantacon, pan de bono and the potatoes empanada and meat empanada. Our favorite was the pantacon (salty plantain with meat, avocado and salsa on top). I am not big on meat but I really enjoyed it on this appetizer, it was seasoned very well and was tender. For our main dishes we got the vegetarian dish with rice, beans, plantain and salad which was pretty good. We didn’t have room for dessert because the meal was so filling, but it seemed like they had some good options. We will definitely return again because it is one of the only good restaurants around our area that has tradition Colombian food!

We got there at 7:30pm and the girl who received us told us the kitchen has been closed over an hour ago. The opening hours are from 11am to 8pm. If they are closing its kitchen an hour before they can’t display that they are closing at 8pm. Makes no sense. And it is understandable that a kitchen may close 30 minutes but not 1 hour before.

Great experience! Waitress was very nice and food was excellent. Felt like I was visiting a Columbian home. Recommend trying it at least once!
