Question 1

What makes Sterling Restaurant the premier steakhouse in Gatineau?

Accepted Answer

Sterling is renowned for serving exclusively Canadian Prime Beef, which represents only the top 2% of beef in the country. Our signature cooking method involves maple-wood grilling, which infuses the meat with a distinct regional flavour profile that sets us apart from traditional steakhouses in the Ottawa-Gatineau area.
