I went Westboro in January, and it was fun enough. But as I read in guide book for tourist, it must be much more enjoyable in summer. I had a famous crape and hot chocolate and those are ok taste.
this neighborhood has seen many changes in the past ten years. Nice art galleries, cosy restaurants and boutiques make for a pleasant stroll.
Lots of shops of all types. A small town feeling at the edge of the city. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Park on the Main Street and walk to all the great places.
Great place to work, love, exercise, play, eat, and sleep. Everything you want in one place. Great restaurants and even great choice for residences. Still plays second fiddle to the Glebe though.
I love all the little shops to browse. I always find something I want. Only thing is parking can be an issue but it is worth it.
Enjoy browsing the many clothing, sports and jewelry boutiques. Many places to just stop for coffee, lunch or a nice evening meal.
From great restaurants-- the pub , Corner (friendly, great nachos and burgers) to Gezelig and Savoy, best kept desert place and amazing lunch/ dinner entres at Village Cafe, or try chez Francois for a taste of Paris. Mec, roots, trailhead, bushtaka and so much more! Come to west feet June 12-14 and experience the community.
Its s great view for sure and a small outdoor restaurant, with indoor washrooms.Awsome for the family friends or just for a bike ride..
Westboro is a growing neighbourhood that pulsates with the energy of the younger population that is moving into the area. It boasts some great shops and restaurants, and outdorrs lovers can find the Mountain Equipment Co-op and several canoe and kayak shops on Richmond Road in the heart of Westboro. Many of the shops are independently owned--some trendy, some off-beat, some unique, most pricey.Be sure to enjoy a stroll through Westboro during your trip to Ottawa. And I defy you to get out of the neighbourhood without spending any money...
This is a great neighbourhood in Ottawa. Not as well known as some of the others in town, it definitely feels like a nice, small neighbourhood with great restaurants and shops. I'm not down in this area often as it is quite a trek from my own neighbourhood but I do try and come out as much as I can.
