Tia's Choice: Ottawa, A Magical Experience for Travellers



The exotic nightlife at ByWard Market in Ottawa

Shopping at ByWard Market
 
StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto -When the sun goes down the spirits are up in Ottawa even on a tiring day of sight seeing the city, then its exotic nightlife spreads over the city. The name that comes first to the mind is the very special "ByWard Market". 

It  is one of Ottawa's oldest neighbourhoods and also functions as its entertainment district. While visiting Ottawa one would never want miss the unique experience that this entertainment district offers  with its warm and welcoming  over 100 food and drink options in just a four-block-square area. Whether it's fine dining, a good diner, a cosy bistro, or a romantic cafe, one can find it in "this very special market." One could walk around and choose to explore the various options. With world class live music and a glass of your favourite wine followed by tantalising food makes your evening just perfect and refreshing.

Established by Lt-Col. John By in 1826, the ByWard Market is one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets. The legendary builder of the Rideau Canal, Colonel By laid out the street plan of the Market, designating George Street and York Street to be extra wide to accommodate the public market and gathering place.

With an area roughly four blocks square, you'll find museums, cafés, specialty food shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, pubs, hair & aesthetics salons and more! Easily accessible on foot, by transit or by car, the ByWard Market offers a unique experience for all.



Bar in Le Cafe

Le Cafe could be another wonderful choice to dine with its many specialities. I loved the blue glasses and the blue light matching the interiors. It is just next to the Rideau Canal and located by the side of National Arts Centre. An evening out with a music concert at National Arts Centre and a dinner at Le Cafe makes your evening just perfect and relaxing. http://www.nac-cna.ca/en/lecafe/lecafe/

The best place for wine and cheese with a wholesome evening meal is "play FOOD & WINE", a creation of Stephen Beckta and Chef Michael Moffatt of the renowned Beckta dining & wine. Service is excellent and the food is the best. It is situated at 1 York Street. It is a must eating joint for the one who wants to have the real taste of Ottawa and a complete travel experience. http://www.playfood.ca/

Do not miss out the old fashioned rickshaw ride by Ottawa Rickshaws who are there to take you around this glamour stricken nightlife of this most exotic nightlife district of this city.This experience is a bonus at a very reasonable price for some one who is visiting Ottawa.
