The Culinary Traveller’s Guide

Neighbourhoods

BEECHWOOD An emerging Ottawa Eat Street

with pubs, coffee shops, a kitchenware

emporium, bakeries and a number of

noteworthy restaurants.

BYWARD MARKET The area surrounding the

ByWard Market is one of Ottawa’s hottest

and most central ’hoods. Along with the

farmers’ market itself, some of Ottawa’s best

restaurants and shops can be found here.

CHINATOWN Somerset St W. between

Rochester St and Bay St is the best place to

get your fill of cheap and tasty Asian eats.

Just look for the opulent archway near

Bronson Ave to know you’re in the thick of it.

LITTLE ITALY Preston St (dubbed Corso Italia)

is chock full of Italian pride — as well as some

of the best eats in town. Keep an eye open

for local events throughout the year.

MANOTICK Just south of the city is the

charming riverside village of Manotick. Spend

the day exploring the heritage district’s

boutiques, restaurants, cafés and specialty

food shops and visit the historic Watson’s Mill

for a sack of stone-ground flour or a loaf of

wholewheat bread.

THE GLEBE/OLD OTTAWA SOUTH While they’re

technically two separate neighbourhoods,

both share a common main street (Bank St)

and offer a plethora of fantastic restaurants

and shops.

WELLINGTON WEST/HINTONBURG

Wellington St W. encompasses the

eclectic neighbourhoods of Wellington

West and Hintonburg — two hot spots

that are currently enjoying some serious

gentrification.

WESTBORO The stretch of Richmond Rd

between Island Park Dr. and Golden Ave is

known for its tight-knit community vibe,

as well as its ever-increasing array of great

eateries and boutiques.
