Just came back from a quick quick visit to Ottawa. This visit was special as I discovered something NEW plus I went to visit a museum that I use to enjoy when I was a kid. (keep reading).
Let’s talk about the NEW discovery first.
As you know I spend a lot of time on twitter. Here’s a classic example of a finding out about something via twitter. One day I was on twitter and I noticed @LiftRestaurant had sent me a tweet . I checked out their profile and noticed that they were a restaurant in the Delta Ottawa City Centre – exactly a block away from where I stay in Ottawa!! We started to chat on twitter and I mentioned that I would drop by on my next week. So I did.
When we arrived at Lift Restaurant, the first thing that impressed me was the contemporary, bright, space. After chatting with our super friendly waitress, we ordered the Lift Chowder (Bay Ccallops, Shrimp, Atlantic Salmon, Surf Clams and a Charcuterie Board to share. We scored with our order. The soup was probably the best chowder I’ve ever had and there’s a reason for that. IT’S MADE FRESH WHEN YOU ORDER IT.
I was also given a quick tour of some of the suites and LOVED the fact that the CLEAN DESKS had all sorts of computer plugs in it. This certainly appeals to people like me, who travel with no fewer than four cords on each trip!!
I can’t wait to return for more Chowder and have even posted the menu in my parents nearby condo so that this restaurant is on their radar too!!
Now for the part of my trip that brought me down memory lane.
We went to visit The Canada Science and Technology Museum. This museum was my favorite museum as a kid because they had an exhibit called the KRAZY KITCHEN. Forty years later – it’s still there.
I swear I was smiling throughout my visit.
I love visiting Ottawa! Period.

Planning a trip to Ottawa over New Year’s and we’re likely staying at the Delta- so good to know a fellow person who travels with lots of cords approves : )
Thanks Lisa for leaving a comment on my blog. I’m sure you will have an amazing stay at the Delta. Their 35 million dollar reno is quite something. As for the soup I had at the restaurant – you must must try it.
