Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Wakefield

"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."

"At both Zak’s Diner locations in Ottawa (Byward Market and Kanata) they serve breakfast all day long. Their kids’ menu includes pancakes, French toast, and a classic scrambled egg breakfast. Zak’s is open 24hrs with delivery and takeout available."

"The name may be a little silly, but it’s not wrong: this daytime-only spot downtown does creative breakfasts, sandwiches, and salads. The menu shuffles frequently but has included herby mushroom melts, spicy peanut beef sandwiches, and a vegan Buffalo cauliflower sandwich."

"Attracting a young crowd not dissimilar to that found in some of Toronto’s trendiest haunts, The Belmont is a casual bar serving well made drinks and small plates of delicious food. The minimalist interior reflects its simple menu, but there is a good selection of drinks available. Fun, attentive staff contribute to the energetic atmosphere and make this a great place to head for a night out with friends."

"Choose the Belmont for a casual, fun Mother’s Day dinner for a fusion menu of pork and shrimp siu mai, tiger prawns, Cornish hen, a cheese and charcuterie board, or opt for a Belmont combo like the Family Dinner with a big salad, lettuce wraps, herbed roast vegetables, shepherd’s pie, and apple crumble."

"One of my favourite places for an afternoon stroll is in the Dominion Arboretum. The arboretum is a beautiful oasis in the middle of Ottawa, about 10 minutes from the downtown. I like to park at the top and walk a 3.3k loop around the outer edge of the park, but you can also access the Arboretum beginning from Dow’s Lake or Carleton University at the locks."

"Established back in 1889, these 64-acres of rolling land showcases a large plant collection of 4000 species. The Dominion Arboretum is Canada’s oldest arboretum with 1000 tree species, several microclimates, and wonderful panoramic views.Address: Arboretum, OttawaWebsite"

"I have eaten at many fine dining restaurants throughout Ottawa. Over the last two years, each time I go out, I realize I cannot top this moxies. The food may not be considered fine dining, but it is very good."
