A romantic dinner by a roaring fire is best enjoyed in a restaurant, and not around the neighbour's emblazoned wicker man. Retain your amorous appetite with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of food and drinks from Restaurant Les Fougères in Chelsea.
Les Fougères stuns astute tongues with an abundantly rich menu, award winning wine list, and seasonal views of the luscious Gatineau Park. A night of roving conversation begins with Quebec foie gras ($19), accompanied by duck and Armagnac macerated prunes nestled under a canopy of duck jelly, Cabernet Franc ice syrup, homemade grilled brioches, and toasted hazelnuts. Grilled local Venison escalope ($38) escapes gastronomic mundanity by shacking up with truffled wild rice sweet potato cake and caramelized root cellar vegetables. Diners seeking a meal sans meat find sanctuary in the vegetarian midday or dinner menus, which weave meatless pasta dishes with cheeses and fresh vegetables. Finally, a swivelled glass of pinot noir ($4.75–$12.25) complements complex plates and lubricates lips to reveal secrets or suppressed eight ball incantations.
The presence of pine and local granite accents the dining room, emulating the austere elegance of the surrounding maple wood where wildlife and prop comedy gods dance among the trees. Verandah seating is available, call ahead for a reservation.

- The service is top-notch and attentive, and the food rocks. Co-owner and chef Charles Part is the sort of quiet, confident chef who eschews self-promotion and lets the nosh speak for itself. – Chris Knight, Ottawa magazine
- A treat. Lovely location and the food is fantastic. – Randy048, TripAdvisor
