I’m presently at the University of Ottawa campus. I have been wandering around Ottawa since about 6am. Managed to get myself lost on a bus into Hull. I couldn’t seem to find a breakfast place that looked decent downtown. I figured that since I planned to visit UOttawa later in the morning anyway, I should grab breakfast here – BIG MISTAKE!
I arrived on the campus, went to the information booth and asked "Where’s a good place to grab breakfast on campus?" The lady replied by suggesting a restaurant just off-campus. I said I was looking to eat at a university food outlet. She advised me that I may want to reconsider. I knew I was in trouble then.
I grabbed breakfast from the university food service outlet in the student centre – wow, I haven’t had a breakfast this bad since…. while, since I was eating rations during army training exercises and I’m tempted to think they were better.
Welcome to uOttawa’s horrendous cafeteria.
I cried when they replaced sausage links with sausage patties.
I cried when the university renewed the contract with Chartwells, without any student consultation.
Cafe Nostalgica, run by the grad students council @ 603 Cumberland (across st from the music building) is open from 8am to 2am. You can get your English breakfast (bacon & eggs & taters etc) from 8 until 11ish.
