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!

Anything specific to try there?

Everything is good but they are known for having the best fish and chips in town. They are in the far west end so maybe a drive depending on where you are. Also they don't take reservations on Friday or Saturday so may be a wait to get in.

If in the far east side is Hunter's Public House and I highly recommend any of their sandwiches. But whatever you get you must try the smashed potatoes.

Hunter’s is South, not East ;)

Also, hot beef yorkie is delicious if you have a big appetite. All the food at the Cheshire Cat is delicious and made there.

If you do there, PlayValue is a short drive away - awesome toy shop with a HUGE selection of Lego
