Two Ottawa restaurants are on the list of most romantic restaurants in Canada.
Two weeks before Valentine's Day, OpenTable has released a list of the 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in Canada for 2023, based on more than one million reviews by OpenTable diners.
The two Ottawa restaurants on the list are Cantina Gia and Riviera.
OpenTable recommends booking a reservation for Valentine's Day at least one week before, and dining at off-peak hours may increase your chances of securing a table at popular restaurants.
