Best of the New: Ottawa’s Alice

“One of the main things I thought about when it came to opening a restaurant in 2019 was that I wanted to be sustainable. One of the ways we do that is by being entirely vegetable-focused and plant-based. Of course, in Canada and Ottawa that’s a challenge with such a short season, so that means we utilize a lot of fermented and preserved products. We look to Scandinavia, northern Japan and Canada for inspiration.” —BRIANA KIMCHEF: BRIANA KIM
