This bar is pretty iconic in Ottawa for it's Beer Bible. I would say the food is mediocre but the decor is worth going in for a beverage. It's not quite like any other bar I have ever been to.

Great option for lunch in the market. Small eat in restaurant. The Angelica pizza is worth the wait. Great sandwich bar to go if you are looking for something to take to a park.

High end restaurant in the market. I enjoy going for happy hour weekdays from 5-7. Appetizers half price. It's nice being fancy and not feeling like it cost a fortune. Oysters and Beef Tartar amazing. Usually go for the brussel spouts too!

Parks & Nature
Gatineau Park has amazing hikes and beaches. My favourite hike is Pink Lake. King Mountain has a nice view of the valley. Lac Meech is a great little beach to hangout at for a day. In the winter look into Winter camping. Lots of snow shoeing and crosscountry skiing trails. So many bikers hit to the roads through the parks as well.

Quaint little beach and park. You can watch the canoe club practicing out on the water. Beach volleyball matches take place almost every evening in the summer. Little bar on the beach open in the summer. Amazing new kids park too.

There is a nice park around the lake that is home to Ottawa's tulip festival in the spring. You can rent canoes and kayaks throughout the spring until fall. An access point to skating on the Rideau canal in the winter.

The longest skating rink in the world-7.8km long. Usually opens in January through February weather permitting. If you aren't up for trying skating you can go down with boots on and enjoy a Beavertail in front of an open fire pit.
Great walking and biking paths on both sides of the canal. Boat tours cruise up and down the canal in the summer too.

Entertainment & Activities
Home of the Ottawa Redblacks(Canadian Football League), Ottawa Fury(soccer) and Ottawa 67s(OHL). Great venue to see a sporting event. The Redblacks draw a very large crowd. I love going to the Fury games-smaller crowds but good soccer-prices of tickets very reasonable. The 67s games are great if you want to see great hockey close by at a good price.
Look into concerts and comedy shows coming to town here too.

This is an amazing spa in Chelsea, QC. Nothing is better then spending a day outside in the hot and cold pools. Relax around firepits in a robe. Great food too. There is generally a no talking policy in the pools so it is quite quiet and relaxing.

This is a grocery chain that originated in Ottawa area. They have reasonably priced food and very fresh produce. My favourite grocery store. Try their premade burgers, marinated shrimp skewers, homemade pesto and any of the farmboy products like their salad dressings.

I prefer this Metro over the one at Bank/Hunt Club. Smaller location. Find the staff friendlier and just a better shopping experience.
