We entertained guests from out of town at this cozy patio restaurant. The atmosphere was great, this restaurant links to different serving area (actually four different environments). There is a long street patio deck, two isolated rear hidden private decks, (great for business meetings), and a central open air patio that gives you a european feeling. The live music is great often with bands from Ireland or a Canadian Celtic pleasure. This mixed age croud of guests and open concept offers a welcoming friendly feeling. My guest completely enjoyed there evening and I was proud to have entertained them at this premier choice in casual dinning in the heart of Ottawa's Capital. Try it, you will like it!
Tourists choose the sprawling street-side patio of the Heart and Crown, a ByWard Market success story. Locals opt instead for the secluded courtyard behind Peter Devine’s, part of the Heart’s operation. The patio is among the prettiest in town: surrounded by ivy-covered walls and colourful flower baskets. Heaters bring comfort to chilly days. The menu is Irish pub grub. If you’re hungry, order the excellent fish and chips (one piece should fill most stomachs); the Shannon salad makes a good light meal. A tidy selection of brews includes Irish icons Guinness, Kilkenny and Smithwicks.
