Ottawa has always been a pretty established part of Canada. However for a while the restaurant scene wasn't particularly exciting and was reserved for politicians. Any good international food or dishes that had a bit of taste to them were reserved for clubs and higher ups. However in the past thirty years the city has burst with flavours. Boutique restaurants with inspirations from around the world have made Ottawa an exciting place to date. Like we said before, the bar scene has also become more vibrant in recent years and that's because of the massive amount of young people making their way to Ottawa to study, find work, and start businesses. There are pop up bars, themed bars and the LGBTQ scene also has plenty to offer, with bars all around the city.
