Vegan, gluten free restaurant with a modern, fresh and mind-blowing menu. Definitely a must-try in Ottawa. My favorite, and I'm a carnivore who loves gluten! They are open for brunch and supper, make sure you try a desert!

Romantic, authentic spot for thin crust pizza. They have a small menu with daily special. It's a nice option for a cheap-ish supper in a nice atmosphere.

Belgian or French Bistro (not sure!) serving delicious dishes. Very unique option for Ottawa, makes me feel like I'm in Montreal! The space is beautiful with tall ceilings and huge windows which they open on sunny days.

Excellent taco place. It's always packed but worth the wait. Or go in the middle of the day. Elgin St offers a nice variery of bars and restaurant to a more mature crowd (late twenties/early thirties). It is more than walkable at night.

Nicest dessert spot in Ottawa. It's Italian, they offer gelatos, specialty coffees and an array of dessert. The best thing about this place is their decor. Go for dessert at night or in afternoon to read or just people watch.

Drinks & Nightlife

They brew their beers on-site, have a seasonal selection and it's walkable distance. Food is also fresh and decent for a pub.

This is an iconic place in Ottawa and we're right beside. It's a nice brewery with good food. but people go mainly for the atmosphere and beauty of the location by the water. Must make a reservation.

Big park with beach. Close to the Rideau Canoe Club. You can rent volleyball nets or join people's game. It's a vast park with a beach where you can spend a couple hours to relax.

One of the two closest grocery stores in the downtown core. Sobeys Fresh has a nice selection of fresh and organic food with a younger more modern crowd. Has a Winerack in the store but also sells beer until 10pm.
