ByWard Market
The heart of Ottawa since 1826
ByWard Market is Ottawa's original gathering place and still its most energetic. The outdoor market stalls, restaurants, bars, and galleries pack into a few blocks between the Rideau River and Rideau Street. By day it's farmers markets and museum visits; by night it's one of the best patio scenes in the city. From BeaverTails to world-class sushi, it's all here.
