Sightseeing

Known as the castle, this museum is packed with dinosaur bones, rocks and minerals, interactive exhibits, and live creatures. We`ve been there many times and my 9-year-old still loves it.

Food Scene

The best place to try the extremely fattening and delicious local dish known as poutine. It`s fries covered with gravy and cheese curds. Open 24/7, it`s also a good place for breakfast.

Every time I eat at Oz, it is delicious. It`s an intimate candlelit restaurant with a small, seasonal menu created by one of Ottawa`s top chefs. Reservations likely needed.

There is a Starbucks just steps away, but this is the local coffee company that roasts its coffee and makes all of its treats here in town. I like it better, but to each her own!

Essentials

A little pricier than the grocery store, but better quality meats and produce and lots of little gourmet treats. Also, the owners are really friendly.

This is one of 2 bakeries on the block. Both have great croissants and flaky pastries. Re: baguettes...I personally prefer the one sold at Boushey`s.

Drinks & Nightlife

Long-time favourite of locals. They have pub food, if that's your thing.

Cool little basement pub with the best pub fare in Ottawa. It`s also maddeningly hard to get a table. But it's fun if you do!

A video store that remains busy and well-stocked long after many folded. The staff offers great suggestions. You`ll have to watch it on your laptop since I don`t have a TV.
