🚨 Attention Please 🚨

On the morning of November 20th , Chef Ric’s experienced a small electrical fire in its kitchen area. No one was hurt, and the damage was minimal and contained.

As a result, catering orders for that day were canceled; catering operations resumed the following day from the Ottawa Mission and Chef Ric’s partner organization Montfort Renaissance in Orleans.

Unfortunately, Chef Ric’s storefront will be unavailable until next week. We appreciate your patronage and patience and look forward to serving you again as soon as possible.
