Ottawa's status as an international capital and our ethnic diversity
has created an exciting dining scene in Ottawa. The city offers
a plethora of excellent restaurants
many of which are conveniently located in the downtown core
- in the historic By Ward Market,
along Elgin Street, in "Chinatown"
on Somerset Street West, and in "Little
Italy" on Preston Street. Preston Street has received city
approval for the semi-official name of "Corso Italia". From
haute cuisine to the more contemporary and exotic ethnic foods,
the region features a wonderful range of delicious fare. Food
to suit just about any taste can be found - from African to
Afghani, Canadian to French, German to Greek, from Lebanese
to Mexican, Spanish to Sri Lankan, Thai to Turkish, vegetarian
to Vietnamese and many others.
