No matter where you go in Ottawa, you will find great food. The downtown core boasts some of the best shawarma in Canada, and you can't go wrong with some Dim Sum on Sommerset.
That said, here are some of the couples favourite places to eat!
What to do in Ottawa
Where to Eat
Burgers n' Fries Forever

Right in the heart of downtown, Roast n' Curries has some of the best Indian food deals you'll find in the city. Pick up one of their dinning combos for up to 4!

Lansdowne Restaurants
While not a restaurant, Lansdowne always has something going on. Nestled in the Glebe, this central location is where the couple spent many of their date nights. Check out the farmer's market on Sunday for some local delicacies!

Now that you're full up on food, it's time to explore the local pubs! While you can probably find Ontario craft beer at most local restaurants, these bars have given the couple some of their fondest memories.
Craft Beer Market
Craft is the perfect restaurant if you want to sit down with a group, eat good food and enjoy the best Ontario brews.

Clocktower Brew Pub
An Ottawa classic, you can find Clocktower beer across the city, but it's always best at the source! A great choice for beer lovers.
O'Brien's Eatery & Pub
Saturday is karaoke night down at O'Briens Pub! We'd be remiss to not include O'Briens on this list, as we've spent many late nights here singing and dancing with our school friends.
