Toronto, Ontario here. I'll be visiting some friends in Ottawa at the end of this month. It'll be my first time there, any suggestions for good places to eat?

Depends on what you like!

Pizza = Colonnade Pizza http://www.colonnadepizza.com/new/

Burgers = The works(this place is incredible) http://www.worksburger.com/

Asian = Mekong (neat atmosphere, good food) http://www.mekong.ca/

Mexican: You will have to look it up but Ahora on Dalhousie is a little hole in the wall, but I think its amazing.

I love food if you couldn't tell. Another thing I would suggest is just get your friends to take you to the byward market and just walk around down there until you find(smell) something you like. Lots of trendy spots down there, lots of gems.

Last suggestion is if you go to the market and you're interested in having some casual drinks Mambo (http://www.mambonuevolatino.com/) has an incredible rooftop deck, the food is pretty great and they have happy hour with cheaper drinks and half price Tapas.

Awesome recommendations! I spoke with the people we're staying with, they also recommend Ahora.

Mambo also peaked my interest, we might make it there too.

Thanks!

No Prob. I like Mambo a fair bit, we have went there the last 2 years for my girlfriends birthday. Their Mojitos are awesome and they server desperado(tequilla beer) which I like quite a bit.
