## About

Ottawa is deep in its comfort-food era right now. This weekend in Ottawa is all about carbs, syrup, and communal tables — the kind of stuff you say you’ll “just pop into for an hour” and somehow roll home from four hours later. With more than 13,000 people already committed to food and drink events alone, you’re not imagining it: every group chat is basically arguing about where to eat next.

If you want big-night-out energy (but in daylight, with gravy), start with Orléans Poutinefest & Street Food Frenzy. It’s peak Ottawa behaviour: standing outside debating curd-to-fries ratio like it’s a policy file. Expect lineups, wild toppings, and that friend who insists on trying every truck "for research." This is the one you lock in first if you’re bringing a crew or trying to impress someone who thinks Ottawa is boring.

On the opposite end of the chaos scale, the Manotick Fire Station Pancake Breakfast and the 55th Annual Maplefest are your classic small-town-feels-within-the-city moves. Pancakes, maple, and kids completely losing it over syrup — very wholesome, very early, very worth it if you like your weekends with more flannel than sequins. Maplefest has that multi-generational vibe: grandparents, toddlers, and teenagers pretending they’re not having fun.

For things to do this weekend in Ottawa that lean more ritual than rage, there are a couple of anchors: Seder Dinner for those observing and looking for a proper, communal meal, and an Easter Brunch Buffet for the people who believe in bottomless coffee and not cooking for anyone. And then there’s CHUCK NORRIS AND BACON — absolutely not subtle, very "tell your group chat and see who bites" energy. Spots like Ocho Rios Caribbean Eatery and the mysteriously labelled "TBA" venues round things out, reminding you that half the fun right now is actually discovering the smaller kitchens and pop-ups shaping the city’s food scene.

Here’s how to play it:
- Lock in Orléans Poutinefest & Street Food Frenzy for your main daytime hang
- Hit Manotick Fire Station Pancake Breakfast if you’re an early riser or with family
- Do the 55th Annual Maplefest for cozy, small-town energy and maximum syrup
- Book Seder Dinner or Easter Brunch Buffet if you want your weekend pre-planned and seated
- Say yes to CHUCK NORRIS AND BACON and any "Ottawa - Your restaurant" / TBA listings if you live for the weirder, hyper-local side of the city’s food scene
