GOOD FOOD. GOOD PEOPLE.

MEET THE OWNER

The French Press is the realization of a long-held dream for head chef and owner, Kathy Gaudette.

The dream? A vibrant community of people connecting over simple, delicious food. The French Press, opened in Fall 2023, occupies one of Ottawa's historic row houses. The unique marriage of Kathy's passion for good cooking and her natural talent for creating warm, inviting spaces is reflected throughout the space.

Everything is made fresh daily, from the quiche to the crepes to the soups. Check out our page for a daily rotation of delicious seasonal specials. And as always - bon appetit!
