Working Title Kitchen is one of the best global restaurants in Ottawa for cheap eats, especially if you want a strong option in Sandy Hill.

Working Title Kitchen operates out of a century-old Anglican church in Sandy Hill, and the room is apparently smart enough not to oversell that fact. The original stone walls stay in place; the lighting gets updated. That's the whole design philosophy, and by most accounts it works — the space reads as genuinely considered rather than aggressively atmospheric. Sandy Hill is a neighborhood of students, diplomats, and people who actually walk places, and the room seems to fit that mix without straining for it. The patio, by Ottawa standards, is reportedly massive — the kind of outdoor square footage that other cities charge significantly more for the privilege of sitting in. At price level one, that combination of space, setting, and ambition is harder to find than it should be. The kitchen runs as both a daytime café and an evening restaurant, which is a trickier operational split than it sounds. The morning program centers on baked goods: an almond croissant, a pecan swirl, a cheese scone, and a sourdough that diners and reviewers keep returning to with a specificity that suggests it's actually serious bread rather than decorative bread. The pastry work, based on consistent accounts, points to someone who treats lamination as a craft. Come dinner, the register shifts — the pork belly with soba noodles appears in enough write-ups to qualify as a kitchen signature, described as technique-forward and globally inflected in a way that reveals where the kitchen's real interests live. It's not playing the safe, approachable card. Full dinner service runs Monday through Friday; Sunday brunch wraps at 3pm, and weekend café hours are shorter than you'd expect, so arriving Saturday evening hoping for the full menu will likely disappoint. The patio goes fast in good weather — plan accordingly. For pastries, early is not a suggestion; the almond croissant and pecan swirl are reportedly not guaranteed past mid-morning.

Vanier doesn't need Starbite Resto to be precious about anything, and from what research consistently turns up, it isn't.
