The second annual Ottawa Citizen Best Restaurants event, hosted in partnership with the National Arts Centre, will bring together 500+ food lovers for an unforgettable evening of signature dishes, local beverages and delicious discoveries. This year’s menu features fine-dining hotspots and hidden gems, all hand-picked by the Citizen’s renowned restaurant critic Peter Hum, with a portion of ticket sales being donated to the event’s charitable partner, the Ottawa Food Bank.  Held in the historic Canal Lobby of the NAC on Monday, October 19, the event will celebrate Ottawa’s rich culinary landscape, giving eventgoers the chance to eat, drink and connect with journalists from the Citizen newsroom and some of the capital’s top chefs.
