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."
