Ottawa’s Sweets and Treats
"Located at 14 Byward Market Square, Zak’s has been an Ottawa staple for over 30 years, this 50’s style 24-hour diner offers a variety of interesting foods, but the deep-fried mars bar is a special treat. It’s a regular mars bar wrapped in pastry, deep fried, and then loaded with ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel sauce- perfect for those late nights in the ByWard Market neighbourhood. If you’re looking for something a little more classic, try Zak’s apple pie, which can be served with ice cream or melted cheddar."

"There are two locations of Big Rig Kitchen in the city (Pinecrest, near IKEA, and the Gloucester Centre). While the menu includes the regular brunch fare like pancakes (which we know are kid favourites), it’s hard not to want to try something a bit more savoury like the Turkey Dinner Waffle Sandwich."

11+ great picnic spots in Ottawa and beyond
"Britannia Park has it all—kayak and paddleboard rentals, beach volleyball, washrooms, a snack bar, a big beach, grassy spaces and picnic tables, lots of free parking, and more. It’s easy to reach via bike paths along the Ottawa River from downtown, by car or by OC Transpo. But here’s the pièce de résistance: Beachconers Microcreamery and the Britannia Coffeehouse are just beyond the park’s eastern edge, meaning you can easily add ice cream cones, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and tea and coffee to your picnic."
