Located on the excellent people-watching corner of Byward and Clarence, in the Byward Market, this Tex-Mex restaurant's large windows offer a great view. The Mexican and southwestern United States menu features large portions of standards like nachos, fajitas and particularly tasty quesadillas, as well as pastas, ribs, Santa Fe pizzas and homemade desserts. Popular with a young, casually dressed crowd, and billing itself as "Ottawa's most popular restaurant," it also has a small bar at the entrance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh fish and lobster |

Popular with local seafood lovers, this semi-casual restaurant in the heart of the Byward Market offers exactly what the name implies: one of Ottawa's largest selections of fresh fish. The dimly lit and tightly packed restaurant features giant lobster tanks and 10 to 15 types of fresh fish brought in daily from around the world. Main courses range from barbequed swordfish to the Whole Stuffed Rainbow Trout. An extensive wine selection includes both traditional and newer wines (Sutter Home Sauvignon Blanc).

 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 |

This authentic Mexican restaurant was the first such eatery in the Byward Market, arriving on the scene in 1981. Since then, thousands have enjoyed the traditional Mexican fare served in a colourful courtyard setting complete with a central fountain. Among other things, the restaurant is famous for its sizzling fajitas, jumbo margaritas and friendly staff. Patrons can also enjoy live Mariachi music on Friday and Saturday nights, and in the summer the outdoor patio is nearly always packed. Review © 2007, Wcities |
