Ottawa city guide

Erling’s Variety

For seasonal small plates

This laid-back restaurant is quietly tucked away in the historic Glebe village. Watch the open kitchen put together seasonal plates such as Brussels sprouts with bacon and Grana Padano, and apple-braised pork belly with spaetzle. Bring a friend; dishes are meant to be shared.

225 Strathcona Ave., Ottawa 613-231-8484 erlingsvariety.com

Atelier

For an adventurous dinner

Throughout the 12-course blind tasting menu, award-winning chef Marc Lepine upends convention. His approach to molecular gastronomy is playful — take, for instance, the edible helium balloons. Allow three hours for the full experience, and consider the wine pairings: Sommelier Steve Robinson is a rising star.

540 Rochester St., Ottawa 613-321-3537 atelierrestaurant.ca

Wilf & Ada’s

For elevated comfort food

Consider this Diner 2.0. Located where Ada’s Diner once stood, this new iteration pays homage to the past — it’s still a great place for all-day breakfast — while bringing a fresh approach to locally sourced ingredients. The Eggs in Purgatory, poached in spicy tomato sauce, are a signature.

510 Bank St., Ottawa 613-231-7959 wilfandadas.com

Flora Hall

For craft beers

Located in a restored 90-year-old garage, this polished new bar is a temple to creative craft beer, including sours, IPAs and fruity concoctions with notes of mango and pear. Order the Ploughman’s Platter; it’s always served with Flora’s Beer Bread, a sourdough-style loaf that’s made alongside the brews.

37 Flora St., Ottawa 613-695-2339 florahallbrewing.ca

Charlotte

For the photogenic lounge

Before you settle into a vintage couch in this Instagrammable, retro-chic lounge, visit the gorgeous bar, where you’ll find a serious approach to spirits and an exploratory wine list. Snacks are healthy and light, and primarily from Pure Kitchen, its vegetarian-focused big sister downstairs.

340 Elgin St., Second Floor, Ottawa 613-421-0669 charlotteottawa.com

Diefenbunker

For an offbeat museum

Located 30 minutes west of downtown Ottawa is this underground-bunker-turned-museum dedicated to the Cold War, built into the side of a hill. (The name is a play on John Diefenbaker, Canada’s prime minister at the time.) The 1960s relic is now a one-of-a-kind setting for arts events, escape-room challenges and interactive zombie-themed experiences.

3929 Carp Rd., Ottawa 613-839-0007 diefenbunker.ca

Mer Bleue

For the fresh air

Ottawa is known for its Greenbelt — 200 square kilometres of the protected, environmentally sensitive land sit inside city limits. A great place to appreciate the green space is Mer Bleue, a 7,000-year-old bog. The boardwalks make it universally accessible year-round; you can hike, cross-country ski or showshoe, depending on the season.

Ridge Rd., Ottawa 613-239-5000 ncc-ccn.gc.ca

Nordik Spa-Nature

For a spa escape

About a 20-minute drive from Ottawa, this outdoor getaway in the Gatineau Hills started out as a simple Scandinavian-style day spa. Now, with the addition of an underground saltwater floating pool that aims to replicate the Dead Sea experience, and a Russian spa treatment that ends with birch branches, Nordik has become a place to explore global sauna culture.

16 Ch. Nordik, Chelsea, Quebec 819-827-1111 chelsea.lenordik.com

Nature Nocturne

For a museum dance party

Held inside the Canadian Museum of Nature’s castle-like heritage building, this monthly theme party for grown-ups makes you feel like you’re breaking the rules — and getting away with it. Dance floors and bars are found throughout the exhibitions, inviting guests to explore, drink in hand.

240 McLeod St., Ottawa 613-566-4700 nature.ca/en/plan-your-visit/nature-nocturne

Vintage Biplane Rides

For the aerial views

Take an exhilarating flyby from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum to the ByWard Market and back on the circa-1939 Waco UPF-7. Originally a military training plane, it also has a history in aerobatics, and the turn over Parliament Hill shows off a bit of this flair. Rides are available seasonally (May through October).

Ça Va de Soi

For luxurious knitwear

This minimalist boutique sells high-end knitwear produced by a Montreal-based family company that has been sourcing cotton, wool and cashmere for decades.

The Modern Shop

For cool home accessories

This Canadian company’s well-stocked showroom reminds you it’s not hard to inject beautiful design into the everyday. Beyond the array of modern furniture and lighting from around the world, you’ll find giftable accessories, such as irreverent Jonathan Adler teacups, portable clocks by Arne Jacobson, and new takes on classic kids’ toys.

541 Sussex Dr., Ottawa 613-244-4343 themodernshop.com

Terra20

For eco-friendly everything

Natural products and meticulous sourcing are at the heart of this Ottawa-based company. In the fashion department, vegan Matt & Nat purses are a draw, while kids of all ages flock to the cute bento boxes and other zero-waste lunch accessories.

1304 Wellington St. W., Ottawa 1-855-837-7220 terra20.com

Vincent

For contemporary womenswear

This charming boutique is run by two creative sisters — Angie is the makeup artist, Amanda the photographer/painter — who apply their discerning taste to fashion. Much of the assortment is made of luxury foundational pieces from under-the-radar brands, like premium denim from AG Jeans, and woven-in-Italy button-ups by Frank & Eileen.

444 Preston St., Ottawa 613-680-4277 shopvincent.ca

Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market

For the food and drink scene

The modern Andaz is located in the historic ByWard Market, home to a dense concentration of restaurants, cafés and specialty food shops, as well as an outdoor farmers’ market. On the 16th floor, you’ll find the city’s highest rooftop lounge, Copper Spirits and Sights, a craft-cocktail destination with unrivalled views.

325 Dalhousie St., Ottawa 613-321-1234 hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/canada/andaz-ottawa-byward-market/yowaz

O’Brien

For peaceful nature

About a 35-minute drive from Ottawa, this former family estate in the Gatineau Hills opened in 2018 as an 11-room boutique hotel with a cottage feel. Nature lovers will enjoy easy access to the Gatineau Park trails, while history buffs will appreciate the period accents throughout.

650 Ch. du Lac Meech, Quebec 819-510-1930 theobrienhouse.ca

Arc The Hotel

For accessible rates

Just minutes on foot from Parliament Hill (keep your eye open for visiting politicians), Arc has the distinction of being Ottawa’s first boutique hotel. Though not known for frills, it offers comfortable, sleek Yabu Pushelburg–designed rooms at accessible rates.

140 Slater St., Ottawa 613-238-2888 arcthehotel.com

Fairmont Château Laurier

For the nostalgic atmosphere

Built in 1912, this castle-like hotel is a landmark for those who want to step back in time — and anyone who wants to be within steps of Parliament Hill, the National Arts Centre, and the shops of CF Rideau Centre and ByWard Market. Don’t miss the opulent tea service in Zoe’s lounge or the art deco pool.

1 Rideau St., Ottawa 613-241-1414 fairmont.com/laurier-ottawa

Le Germain Hotel Ottawa

For the artsy atmosphere

Just steps from the newly renovated Ottawa Art Gallery is Le Germain, the city’s newest boutique hotel. An artistic sensibility is reflected in the rooms, decorated with image-printed fabric by Montreal photographer Julie Couture. If your idea of art is a fine cocktail, stop by the bar to order a Juliet with Romeo’s, the hotel’s signature drink made with Romeo’s Gin from Quebec.

30 Daly Ave., Ottawa 613-691-3230 legermainhotels.com

Info about getting from the airport, public transportation and more.
