 Tasteful dining on Elgin |
327 Elgin St (Near Lewis) Ottawa, ON K2P 1M5 Canada +1 613 233 7111 http://www.alssteakhouse.ca/ |
Since opening in 1967, this restaurant on lively Elgin Street has played host to premiers, prime ministers and entertainers alike. The interior is relaxing with its lovely plants, cascading water, soft lighting and elegant oil paintings. The menu is a meat-lover's delight, with seafood, poultry and selection of charcoal-broiled dishes, including steaks up to 22 ounces.

Multicultural cuisine downtown |
199 Bank St (Near Gloucester) Ottawa, ON K2P 1W7 Canada +1 613 565 0657 http://www.cafeparadiso.com |
The menu of this trendy, downtown art deco-style restaurant creatively brings together inspirations from around the world. Japanese, Italian, Thai and vegetarian dishes abound and combine with the jazz music playing in the background to create a funky atmosphere that attracts many well-dressed professionals as well as single diners. The Cafe is divided into a restaurant with a small bar, and a large lounge where diners can also order from the menu. During the summer, the restaurant's front windows are removed to give it a patio feel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Best Italian Food in Ottawa |
271 Dalhousie St (At Murray) Ottawa, ON K1N 7E5 Canada +1 613 241 4381 http://www.cafespiga.ca/ |
Serving a satisfying brand of Italian comfort food prepared with modern flare, this old standby never disappoints. The black and grey, somewhat formal interior is a product of the same impeccable skill with which owners Joao Botelho and Maria Moscatel prepare the cuisine. Daily specials start at CAD15, appetizers at CAD7, and the table d'hôte is an impressive bargain: appetizer, soup or salad, main course and desert for CAD18.99-22.99. Drawing consistent rave reviews in Ottawa for its charm and impressive wine list, this Byward Market stalwart is a good bet for an upscale night out. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of Ottawa's finest |
81B Clarence Street At William Ottawa, ON K1N 5P5 Canada +1 613 241 2200 http://www.clairdelune.ca/ |
Widely considered one of Ottawa's finest restaurants, this venerable and handsome restaurant is located near the Chateau Laurier. Its attractive façade, with an awning and wood accent, opens to the street in the summer months, providing an even more charming dining experience. Pasta and seafood predominate, with many of the classic French dishes featuring Asian overtones and local ingredients. Main courses range from Wild Mushroom and Shiitake Risotto with Spicy Pancetta to Hand-Shaved Atlantic Salmon Tartar with caperberries and cilantro. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Thai treasure |
260 Nepean St at Kent Ottawa, ON K1R 5G3 Canada +1 613 231 8424 http://www.greenpapaya.ca |
Don't let the peeling green paint scare you from this tiny building. Once inside, you will see why local office workers crowd into this restaurant every week. The rich golds, reds, oranges and greens of the decor, along with an impressive collection of authentic Thai antiques and tapestries act as cultural appetizers to the small but flavor-filled menu featuring curries (such as the Red Curry Panang) and a variety of noodle dishes. Those with less adventurous palates can choose from milder choices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale Steakhouse |
170 Queen Street Ottawa, ON K1P 5E1 Canada +1 613 234 4545 http://www.hyssteakhouse.com/ |
This upscale steak house is a favourite haunt of Ottawa's business and political elite. With its dark panelling, subdued lighting and private booths, Hy's is a perfect setting for a power lunch or a candlelit dinner for two. Although the menu is extensive, with selections that include baked Shellfish Thermidor and Filet of Salmon, Hy's specialty is its Charcoal-Broiled Steaks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mouth watering beef |

Your palate should be well pleased with the prime rib at this well-known restaurant located in a heritage building on the banks of the Ottawa River.
