• Comfort food • Centretown West
The Prescott, located at the corner of Beech and Preston Street in Ottawa, is one of the oldest licensed drinking establishments in the city, with roots tracing back to 1934. Originally the Preston Hotel, it was renamed The Prescott in 1941, symbolizing its role as the last watering hole between Ottawa and Prescott, 100 km down the highway. During WWII, co-owner Giuseppe Costantini, an Italian-Canadian, was interned by the Canadian government as an "enemy alien," temporarily shutting down the hotel. Despite these challenges, The Prescott continued under the sole ownership of his partner, Antonio Disipio, and became a fixture in the community. Over the years, it has hosted family events, sponsored sports teams, and remained an iconic spot for locals. Today, it stands as a retro eatery, preserving its legacy and charm as a cornerstone of Preston Street.

    When I first made the reservation I had questions regarding the menu as one of our party members had severe allergies to mustard. The folks at St. Elsewhere were extremely helpful over the phone, confirming menu item ingredients with the chef and called me back twice to confirm what was safe. When we arrived, they had even taken the time to label a copy of the menu with the items that were safe, and made sure to prepare them separately to ensure that there was no cross contamination. The ambiance was wonderful, with funny, beautiful paintings and some great chill music in the background. Our table of 5 was comfortable in a booth-like seating area. Their menu is fantastic and we enjoyed the appetizers, main course, and desserts, making sure to try a few items for the whole table. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, and will definitely repeat the experience. We were all extremely happy with our experience with the team at St. Elsewhere and are grateful for their helpful and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the exquisite dining experience they provided for our party.

    Love the Prescott but some errors with the pizza I ordered. Still good, but the toppings were wrong and they didn’t do anything to correct it. Super Bowl was great! Live action and great vibes.
