"Beyond the Pale’s brew list boasts “real beer with real flavor” — and this brewery isn’t joking around. Its revolving menu of small-batch productions may be small, but it is mighty. The Morning Goat coffee stout — a collaboration with local café Happy Goat Coffee Company — is a perfect blend for those who like a beer that can pack a punch."

"This Southern restaurant has turned its Centretown building into quite the triple threat — head to basement speakeasy (officially named the Staff Room) for a hefty whiskey selection and some of the most creative cocktails in town featuring spirits twisted into new forms like kumquat vodka or lemongrass-lime gin. Now, the second level is home to Jabberwocky, which dishes up vegan and vegetarian bites and truly excellent twists on classic libations — like the breakfast old fashioned with oatmeal whiskey, maple, and coffee, the bubbly “Bullesvardier”, or the mezcal- and tequila-laden Oaxaca Fizz."

"Dinner suggestion: Union Local 163, a Canadian take on Southern hospitality. Offering mostly communal seating with a charming old-time hangout feel. Walk down the stairs and open the bookcase to find the entrance to Ottawa’s only Speakeasy. 315 Somerset St. W (613) 231 – 1010"

"Just like the pared-down symbols (cow, cheese, mushroom) that make up the logos adorning Fauna’s windows, the small plates from chef-owner Jon Svazas keep it simple and uncluttered — and have won bucketloads of praise in and outside of Ottawa. The classy small-plates restaurant feels fresh, rooted in local produce and flavor, yet creative and forward-thinking. The takeout menu samples the farm, with dishes including confit hen leg, rib eye and bison carpaccio."

"You may usually go to Purdy’s for their chocolate, but with three locations across Ottawa, it’s also a delicious spot to grab an ice cream cone or specialty dipped ice cream bar—which the kids love (who doesn’t love ice cream on a stick?). Purdy’s is known for their mouth watering chocolate so it’s no surprise that their ice cream is just as enticing.

"It’s worth crossing the river for this craft beer powerhouse, located in a historic building in Hull. With 15-plus beers on tap (not to mention cask ales regularly on offer), BDT skews a little towards hoppy options and classic ales, but there’s enough selection to please everybody."

"This one is technically in Gatineau, but it made the list because it’s very easy to get to from Ottawa. Les Brasseurs du Temps (known as BDT) is on the Gatineau River, with a beautiful waterfront patio for summer. If you love beer, this is the place for you."

"New-age Byward Market diner the King Eddy continues to dish up burgers, fried chicken, and an array of Southern-leaning fishes like shrimp and grits — the restaurant’s very late hours have been understandably dialed back, but the hours are still fairly extensive.
