🏢 Dining in Centretown

Ottawa's urban core has a dense concentration of lunch spots, after-work bars, and diverse restaurants catering to the downtown crowd.

Ottawa's densest urban neighbourhood stretches between Laurier and Gladstone avenues. Lunch traffic from government offices keeps a huge variety of restaurants viable here, from fast-casual to sit-down.

Elgin Street is the main evening strip - bars, pubs, and casual restaurants that fill up after work and on game nights. Somerset Street West forms the edge of Chinatown, adding another culinary dimension.
