The Parliament Pub combines Dining and Political Fun.
Locations do not get much better than this: directly across the
street from Parliament Hill. They say the Parliament Pub is where
the real business of government gets done- it’s an inviting
spot for lunch and dinner where excellent food and beverages can
be enjoyed against a political backdrop.
The Parliament Pub serves great sandwiches and wraps and creative
salads. Homemade soup, pizza, quiche and pasta specials are made
fresh daily. Menu items have a political flavor: try Paul Martin’s
Everything for Everyone Sun-Dried Tomato Pizza or Stephen Harper’s
Right-Wing Voodoo Chicken Sandwich. A fine selection of beers
(with no political agenda) is on tap.
The Hill and Sparks Street crowd like the ambience and warm décor
harking back to the early days of political life in Ottawa. As
a result, the Pub has built a great reputation as the place to
meet and eat in the shadow of the Peace Tower. The Parliament
Pub has a unique atmosphere that is all Ottawa. The walls are
adorned with caricatures of politicians drawn by Eugene Bellemare
(formerly Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Carleton) and photographs
by Jean-Marc Carisse (Pierre Trudeau’s Photographer). The
Parliament Pub is also available for cocktail parties and special
events. Come and visit and enjoy.
This restaurant and bar is the product, culturally speaking
of an Irish and Italian marriage. At Pub Italia, you can
wash down a garlicky Caesar salad with a Guiness or toast the
broadcast of an Italian soccer game with a Czech pilsner.
Located in the heart of Little Italy, this pub on one side and
restaurant on the other is lush with decor from naked ladies carved
in glass to expansive confessional booths that can sit four, including
heavy coats. They also have a private Irish snug with a
door and a special light to summon the server. Families,
artists, and Little Italy regulars congregate at the pub and buy
the coffee beans behind the bar - among the finest town if rich
espresso with a Turkish aftertaste is to your liking. Fine
Italian food doubles as pub fare, and Thursdays to Saturdays you
can order dishes after midnight. As for the name, three
guesses as to what the house salad dressing is. Open daily
from 11AM to 2AM. Visit our web site for complete details.
