Enjoy the ethnic food from around the world

If are looking forward to vacation in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, you will not be disappointed. Built on a high cliff to protect against the potential advance of American invaders, the capital is now a welcoming place for visitors. During winter take the opportunity to skate on the world's longest skating rink, at the end enjoying a sugary treat called a Beavertail. The summer provides festivals, the beautiful flowering of the tulip festival and the biggest Canada Day party on July 1st.

Visitors will be delighted to know that ethnic foods from around the world are available at a wide range of restaurants and street vendors throughout the city. You can mix shopping and dining at the Byward Market area which has a wide selection of different cuisines; the Chinatown area is along Somerset Ave. between Bronson Ave. and Preston St; Little Italy runs along the length of Preston Street, from Carling Avenue to Albert Street.
