Best Diners 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."

"Karen was thoughtful when it came to menu options, there was something for everyone. Payment was easy to make online and th..."

"Elgin Street Diner has been an proud Ottawa institution for over 22 years. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this classic diner serves large portions of timeless breakfast dishes, perfect to set you up for the day ahead or help you recover from the night before. Its all-day menu features omelets, pancakes, French toast and bagels, alongside their famous sandwiches, burgers and their famous poutine."

"A post shared by Nathan (@f0rty.seven) on May 25, 2019 at 6:43am PDT. Voted as the best by many magazines, Elgin Street Diner is a known name among the foodies. Be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or late-night food, the restaurant offers a wide variety of food choices."

"If you haven’t tried Flap Jacks yet, you don’t know what you’re missing!. The kids will be flipping out for these tasty items. Beyond the fluffy, delicious pancakes they serve (loved by parents and kids alike), their entire menu is full of enticing sweet and savoury options."

"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. Delivery is available via Uber Eats and Doordash."

"Distinct features at The National Gallery of Canada, or the Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, are the majestic and bizarre sculpture of a spider by Louise Bourgeois, titled Maman. Once you get your fill of this strange photo-op, move on to yet another architectural beauty, the dome, designed by artist Moshe Safdie."

"The National Gallery of Canada displays world-class art which attracts the art-lovers across the world. It certainly is a great place for kids to learn more about the art and culture of Canada. The Giant bronze sculpture of Spider just outside the gallery captivates kids more than anything :)"

"The National Gallery of Canada is a striking structure housing an extensive collection of Canadian art. It is the giant spider out front that attracts people’s attention. Maman is a famous sculpture designed by  Louise Bourgeois and Ottawa isn’t the only city to have one."

"Descend the stairs alongside the Ottawa Locks on Wellington St to find the Bytown Museum, sitting at the last lock before the artificial canal plunges into the waters of the Ottawa River. This well-curated..."

"The Canadian Museum of Nature (Musée Canadien de la Nature) takes visitors through the world of the dinosaurs all the way up to today's animal population, and also features poignant temporary exhibits. It is the national natural sciences and history museum, and the historic building (once the Victoria Memorial Museum) is the birthplace of Canada's national museums. Construction on this castle-like building was completed in 1910."

"Visiting the Canadian Museum of Nature is more or less like exploring a world of dinosaurs. Beginning with extinct animals, the journey reaches up to today’s animal population and keeps you informed about the things you ought to know. Due to that, this historic place has and will always be a top tourist attraction that keeps people excited and happy."

"If cycling to your picnic spot is your goal, Parc des Cèdres in the Aylmer sector of Gatineau should be high on your list. You can bike there from downtown Ottawa and Hull via the scenic Voyageurs Pathway along the Ottawa River, and you can reward yourself with a swim on the beach, too. Showers, change rooms, washrooms, a snack bar, beach volleyball courts, a bike repair station and children’s play structures are among the park’s many amenities."

"Central Experimental Farm holds a lot of dramatic structures and attractions that your gallery will love. There’s the Dominion Observatory, Dominion Arboretum and Fletcher Wildlife Garden. There are also several gardens and fields, with some dedicated to rocks, roses, perennial plants and sunflowers."

"In late summer the Central Experimental Farm has a large sunflower field that makes the perfect backdrop for a selfie. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SZz9CFScn/?. utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet"

"Just beyond, you can bike through the Dominion Arboretum and the Experimental Farm, where many species of trees colour the landscape. A jewel of nature near the city centre!"

"Visitors are invited explore the building, which is notable for its architecture and art collection as well as to learn about the operation of the Canadian judicial system from tour guides, all of whom are law students. Your guide will explain legal issues of public importance are dealt with by the Supreme Court of Canada. If Court is in session, you may be able to sit in on the hearing of an appeal."

"This intimidating structure strikes an intriguing architectural balance between its modern concrete shell and its traditional copper roof. Visitors can stroll around the scenic grounds, grand entrance hall and..."

"Take a stroll along Trans Canada Trail (behind Parliament) to Supreme Court of Canada, and get acquainted with Canada’s highest court. If want to see more places on Day 1, add Day 2 places to Day 1."

"Though war history may not be the first thing visitors to this largely peace-loving nation may consider exploring, the Canadian War Museum is a fascinating journey through the personal, national and international dimensions of the Canadian military as well as special exhibits on international and armed conflict. The Museum’s collection includes medals, works of art, military artillery as well as a CF-Voodoo jet fighter. These artifacts convey the experiences of women, men, and children who lived through the conflicts that have shaped Canada, Canadians and the world."

"Moriyama & Teshima Architects and GRC Architects enclosed this quiet space with grooved concrete walls divided into rectangles that recall cemetery grave markers. While Gagnon says, “it feels like Remembrance Day whenever you’re there — regardless of the date,” the room makes for an especially moving environment at 11 a.m. each Nov. 11, when sunlight shines through the lone window to perfectly spotlight the tombstone that once marked the grave of Canada’s Unknown Soldier, transported here from a war cemetery near Vimy Ridge."

"Laurier House is a National Historic Site that was home to not one but two Prime Ministers of Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and William Lyon Mackenzie lived here in the heart of Canadian politics from the late 1800s to the mid-1950s. Visitors can tour the historic site to see how our prime ministers lived back in the day."
