If you're anything like me and love comfort food that hits all the right spots, Golden Fries in Orleans is a must-visit. What stands out most to me about this spot is not only their dedication to quality—fresh-cut fries made daily and fried to a perfect golden crisp—but also their creative takes on classic dishes. The loaded poutine is honestly next level; the cheese curds are deep-fried to a crisp exterior while staying gooey inside, complemented by rich, savory gravy that coats every bite. One personal favorite is the hot honey chicken loaded fries, which balance a satisfying spicy-sweet flavor that's comforting yet exciting. The pulled pork burger, made in collaboration with @meatings, adds a smoky barbecue twist to the menu, making it perfect for those craving a hearty sandwich with bold flavors. Another reason I love Golden Fries is its commitment to being a locally and women-owned business—seeing passionate owners behind these creations makes the experience feel even more special. Plus, Orleans itself is full of hidden food treasures worth exploring, and this spot really brings the neighborhood's culinary scene into the spotlight. If you’re planning a visit, I recommend going between Tuesday and Sunday, from late morning to early evening—it's the perfect way to satisfy your cravings and enjoy some of the best comfort food in Ottawa. Definitely a place that made me rethink Orléans as just a suburb; it's truly a foodie's destination with gems like this food truck leading the way.
