Lone Star Texas Bar & Grill
Pour those margarita’s and enjoy this casual atmosphere with food that will please everybody in your family, even the picky eaters! The kids will be given some fun dough to play with while they wait for their food and with unlimited tortilla chips and salsa you don’t need to worry about hearing “I’m hungry” while you are waiting for your meal. With many Lone Star locations across Ottawa you can find one in a neighbourhood close to you!
Village Dunnd’s
Located in Old Chelsea, just 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa, you can enjoy the Bistro-Bar with your favourite drink while the kids run and play on the jumbo trampoline and playground. With mini putt on site as well what else could the kids ask for?! Note that the play areas are an additional price but you will get your moneys worth if you are planning on relaxing here for a couple hours.
