Food Scene

Didn't know this was a chain restaurant! They always have crazy burger specials (like peanut butter banana burgers) but have really good "normal" burgers too. They have a small outdoor patio and is usually very busy on weekends.

Italian restaurant that makes their own pasta and soups from scratch, and they offer wine from local vineyards. Definitely a carnivore's restaurant. Restaurant open 11:30 am - 2 pm and 5 pm - 9 pm.

Delicious shawarma platters with chicken (or beef), salad, rice, and addictive potatoes that can feed you for two days! There is an outdoor patio, but it is right at a busy intersection.

Parks & Nature

Amazing off-leash dog park. Trails range from wooden to open spaces where dogs can socialize and get rid of some energy.

A Short hike passing over Meech Lake to get to the Ruins of a carbide mill. We are not experienced hikers and we had no problems getting there. Amazing spot to pack a lunch and sit next to the water or waterfalls.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great place to spend a day walking along the Ottawa River visiting Parliament Hill and the National Gallery of Canada. The Market has coffee shops, Beavertails, restaurants, and bars. Parking is a little expensive, unless you find the rare free after 6 pm street parking. Getting there by public transit is very easy.

Arts & Culture

Museum is not only a great inside, but it also has nice grounds and beautiful views of the Ottawa River and Parliament Hill. The restaurant inside is a little fancy (and therefore pricey) but the food quality is very good.
