The chef has created incredible dishes with amazing flavours. Too many restaurants use fabluous combinations of ingredients, then ruin the magic by blendign them all together blurring the tastes. Barlupulus's kitchen prepares its dishes so expertly that all of the ingedients can be individually tasted in the dish - getting this right takes real skill and the Balupulus kitchedn has it! On top of the great food, Barlupulus has a great front of restaurant team who all make you feel special regardless of the occasion. People who stand out are Kayla, Steph and Graham. Barlupullus is our go-to fine dining neighbourhood restaurant in the Ottawa region.
