Very cool ambiance as it was built inside of an old bank, the food is so-so (and expensive) but the drinks are fantastic! Just a few blocks away from the condo; it’s worth at least walking into. Reservations highly recommended.

It's a hole in the wall, but the shawarma plate portions are the biggest I've ever seen. The food is amazing (especially the potatoes) - I highly recommend a chicken plate. Not walkable but worth the trip!

If you like ramen this is the best in Ottawa and often has a line-up outside (even in the winter). It is just around the corner from the condo!

If you want your meal as an experience, this place is not cheap ($125 per person) and comes with 12-course tasting menu. The dinner itself takes about 3 hours to get through but it really is unforgettable experience! This one is just a bit farther out and not walkable.
