Food Scene

SHLG is a great place for a beer or to go for brunch - I love their Eggs Benedict with slow roasted ham. It's also nice and close.

Drinks & Nightlife

I love the atmosphere and feel of Social. They have a great outdoor patio nestled in a quaint courtyard - and they make great martinis!

Sightseeing

You can't come to Ottawa and not see Parliament Hill! Make sure to walk behind the building and down by the locks to really see the whole space.

I really like the drive past the Prime Minister's house along Sussex Drive as you also pass the Governor General's Residence, the Department of Foreign Affairs and quite a few beautiful embassies.

Rideau Hall is home to the Governor General, the Queen's representative in Canada. The grounds are a great place to walk and enjoy the outdoors.

Shopping

Great spot to spend the afternoon shopping - or kill time on a rainy day. The mall recently underwent a face-lift which has made all the difference.

Parks & Nature

Great place for kids to play on the play structure, shoot some hoops, go for a swim (in the summer) or run around the field. Pet owners are also welcome to walk their dogs off-leash - just don't forget to pick up after them!

The Rideau Canal is a waterway built from Kingston to Ottawa and in the winter becomes the longest skating rink in the world! Beautiful paths line both sides and provide great views of the city.
