Ottawa's restaurant scene has diversified exponentially in recent years. Long gone are the days when "exotic food" in the capital meant egg rolls and chow mein. Visitors can find anything from French haute cuisine to fiery Malaysian noodles. Foodie neighbourhoods include the Byward Market, Westboro, Wellington Village and the Glebe, but good restaurants are tucked away just about everywhere. And if you just want something simple and satisfying, the city is chock-a-block with pubs.
