I think this is my only perfect review. This restaurant is amazing, it is a breakfast place and they do close at 1pm. Which is a TAD bit of a bummer. The food is always delicious and comes quickly, service is always 10/10.
I love this specific restaurant because of one of the waitresses, she's waited on FOUR generations (possibly 5) of my family, she's seen my mother and ny grandmother grow up, and she's seen me grow up. I don't even know if she realizes who I am, but she's so polite, a treasure, and she always has on the MOST beautiful jewelry sets!
If you pick this restaurant, be prepared to make it your favorite, between the food, the atmosphere, and the staff you'll never want to leave. And if you want a good soup recommendation, get the beef and vegetables it's absolutely DIVINE!
(Plus the bathrooms are clean and always have TP)

Edit: my mom confirmed Miss Nancy has waited on FIVE generations of my family! Myself being the 5th 💖
It all started many years ago when my great great grandmother Delores Angel, and ONLY miss Nancy could get her poached eggs right.

I personally love to drive to the park and.. well park, I usually bring food and ny partner and we sit and face the river and eat. There's a playground about 50-100ft from the parking lot. It's nice to listen to kids laugh and play while we sit together. There's a small floating dock that I've spent many nights walking too with friends, just to sit and watch the river at night. There's usually a good handful of people when it's warm out, but as long as your respectful of the public space (aimed at children) everyone is friendly and more than happy to let you pet their dogs! In the summer There's a splash pad and Frisbee course for kids (or adults who are kids at heart) to enjoy!
As always, enjoy your time in ottawa
And DONT LITTER! There's tons of trashcans around the park, and in the spring and summer geese bring their babies to the river and they don't need, nor should they have too, dig through our trash and scraps!
