Food Scene
This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the building. The renowned chef Dominique Dufour uses local ingredients to create a uniquely Canadian gastronomic experience. I also recommend the bar, and specifically the "coffee + cereal" if you enjoy espresso martinis!

This bar and restaurant is located at the base of the Novotel across the street. The outdoor patio is lovely in the summer, and both the food and drink menus are daring, ever-changing, and unconventional.

Parks & Nature
This beautiful park is steps away and offers amazing views of the city. The ruins of Ottawa's oldest house is also in this park. The large expanses of grass framed by trees and tulips offers the perfect picnic spot.

The park in front of and around the Parliament is beautiful and full of history. There are often free activities there like yoga. The lack of trees makes this park less ideal for picnic than Major's Hill across the canal, but if you sit around there you can see ministers and MPs going about governing the country!
