A cozy Filipino-themed Café and restaurant situated in the historic and elite Glebe neighborhood of Ottawa has been selected as among the best bites in the Canadian capital of the year. Tamis Café, is a family business affair run by Lito and Liza Sare, with their daughters Jessica and Jiselle.

In his year-end depiction of the Ottawa restaurant dining scene for the end of the year 2016, noted food critic Peter Hum featured Tamis Café in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper of the capital city of Canada.

Tamis Café, according to Mr. Hum, is among the “more humble but worthy mom-and-pop joints,” which joins the ranks of ambitious and distinctive eateries that set themselves apart from other dining establishments in Ottawa.
