Ottawa Foodies

I just wanted to let everyone know that i drove by this morning and it has re-opened, and looks bigger than ever. They did an awesome job rebuilding the whole place and it looks way better than that little resto it used to be. I'll definitely have to try it sometime. The owners sure had it rebuilt fast.. it was a great place for people to go eat pretty much 24 hours a day and it was always packed.

They are projecting to re-open in October 2007. Also, some of the 60 or so employees will have a chance to work at other restaurants in the meantime (part time), like the cage aux sports.. (same owners)

It's good news.

18-07-2007 EDIT: There is a huge "La station" sign now in front of where it used to be, they are starting to rebuild.

Their website now mentions that the re-opening is for this coming fall and to continue visiting the site for updates.

29-12-2007 EDIT: La Station is now re-opened! I drove by this morning and it looks 10 times better than it used to, and way bigger. I'll definitely have to try it sometime.

The owners do plan to rebuild, according to this article: www.cbc.ca

The source of the fire was a faulty wood-burning pizza oven.

That's terrible! I'll mark it as "gone" for now just so people know they can't go there. Let's hope they rebuild!

Wow ... can't believe the Station is gone. Hope you can get it going again and have the same staff ... you had some great cooks and great food too. Dave as a cook you will make it all come together again!!!

Yes, that's very sad indeed. La Station was a very popular restaurant in Hull and the food was great.

It's a great lost!

La Station burned down last night.. which is too bad.

La Station is the kind of restaurant you drive or walk by and wish you owned it.. as the parking lot is always FULL.

I've been there only twice, but i enjoyed it for what it is.. pub style food, with great hours of operation. :) On weekends, it's open 24 hours a day, and i live just a few minutes away from it, so trust me on this: they make quite alot of money because of it. Lots of people go there after the bars close.

So if you're ever in Hull partying, the bars close and you want to get something to eat, it's the place to go. It's on St-Joseph, only a few minutes from the Casino.
