Guidebook for Ottawa
Food Scene
My favorite Chinese restaurant in Ottawa. For takeout or pickup, this is the place to go for delicious Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended if you go for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday morning between the hours of 11am - 2pm for their Dim Sum special. A huge variety of "a la carte" fresh steamed dumplings and good Chinese food wheeled around with no waiting for you food to arrive.

Ottawa is home to one of the largest Lebanese communities in Canada, thus we have so many delicious Shawarma restaurants in the city. My favourite is Shawarman's King, only 3 blocks walking distance from the condo. If you have a huge appetite, the combination platter will easily feed 2 people and the portions are huge.
