Top stops for wine by the glass (or two) in Ottawa
Beyond the bar you’ll find an aquarium. Thank heavens you don’t have to drink like a fish. Indeed, you’ll come here to savour selections from a menu of two-dozen wines by the glass, modestly priced for six-ounce servings. From Prince Edward County melon de Bourgogne to Spanish Garnacha, you should find something to slake your thirst. With light jazz in the background and low lighting accented by lovely retro lamps, you’ll feel a world away from busy Glebe area streets in this space that seats just 38. Chalkboard specials may include port-marinated quail or sirloin buttermilk salad.

Romantic date-night restaurants in Ottawa
In winter, this small bar on the bottom floor of a former semi-detached house feels like a cozy shelter from the storm; in warmer weather, the patio at the back is a secluded spot to clink glasses under the stars. The food menu is small, light and classic – think steak sandwiches, bacon-wrapped dates and shrimp salad. The focus here is on the wine list, which leans toward New World wines; everything is available by the bottle or glass. There’s also a nice selection of beer, single-malt whiskies and cocktails.
