Re: Visiting Ottawa
For good food, I would suggest:
Shawarma Palace @ 464 Rideau...cheap, filling, traditional Ottawa food
or the bakery/deli/sandwich/pizza place (Le Moulin de Provence)at the north end of the Byward Market food building that has shops on the inside and outside. It is the place that Obama visited when he was here.
As well, you will have to try a Beaver Tail in the Byward Market or get a sandwich to go @ Nicastro's.
There is a good indian on Somerset called the East India Company.
Enjoy the time in Ottawa

Re: Visiting Ottawa
You need to go there with someone who is nearest and dearest to you and had the same thing to eat as you did.
Multiple drinks may make the garlic breath go away and it will be replaced by another type of breath.

Also went to the Highlander Pub yesterday and had 'Scottish Thai Curry'. Was very dubious as to what it would be like and to my great surprise I absolutely loved it
who knew that curry with mashed potatoes, carrot and turnip tasted that good. I know I will crave it when back in NS so will try to make my own version

Re: Visiting Ottawa
We are here! Was on one of the first flights out after the big NS weather bomb! Had a busy few days already. After 7 years of going to hockey (Junior A and Q League), we went to our first ever NHL game last night and saw the Senators beat the Blackhawks 5-3
So far been to Parliament buildings and was surprised to get the chance to sit in on Question Period at the House of Commons! We then headed over to Notre Dame Basilica which is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes and I am neither catholic nor go to church!
Today it's a short walk along to the Byward market, so it's leisurely shopping and good food. Tomorrow we are headed to the War Museum. Still trying to decide what to do Monday but since the sun will be out I will be taking plenty photos
Attached photo was taken with my iPhone. Can't wait to check out my camera pics when I get home!

Nonetheless, enjoy the rest of your trip.

Re: Visiting Ottawa
What always makes me chuckle is the game being stopped during the TV adverts. Imagine stopping a football match for the same reason

Re: Visiting Ottawa
Nope, no disco lights when I was there. Maybe all the stained glass was too much for you 
I thought the church was stunning inside and out.
Didn't even notice how beautiful the outside was until I went back a few days later when it was sunny
