5 Best Craft Breweries in Ottawa
"Bicycle Craft Brewery’s name speaks to its founders’ love of the outdoors — and love of beer, of course. Husband and wife Fariborz and Laura Behzadi opened their brewery in 2014 and have enjoyed a steady stream of praise since. The On the Lam Vermont-style IPA and Patio Sunshine American Pale Ale have major fruity aromas, with the former showcasing “full, juicy hop flavors of pineapple and ataulfo mango.” Meanwhile, the Simcoe SMaSH IPA — named for “single malt and single hops” — pairs brazen citrus notes with milder pine ones."

12 Best Things to do in Ottawa
"While 47 in total can be found dotted along the Rideau Canal, it is the steep set of almost step-like locks at its northern end that attract the most attention. Known as the Ottawa Locks, they can be spied in between Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill with the flight of eight locks making for some fabulous photos. Completed in 1831, the small series of locks really are an astonishing engineering achievement as they connect the Rideau Canal to the Ottawa River 24 meters below."

"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."
