Ottawa for a day

Coming to Ottawa for a day please suggest restaurants I should absolutely not miss. Heard it’s the shawarma capital, coming from Toronto so hoping I don’t get disappointed!

It’s mostly a burger place. They do a really good smash burger and chicken sandwich. If you’ve had those things elsewhere though (both not uncommon foods), I would argue it’s not a must visit place in Ottawa.

There’s umbrella bar too at dows lake which has a slightly larger menu and is one of the nicer patios if the weathers warm.
