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.

Established by Lt-Col. John By in 1826, the ByWard Market is one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets.

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/
