Rooftop at YOW

Sip craft cocktails while nibbling tapas as you watch the sun set over the historic ByWard Market neighbourhood from this seasonal rooftop terrace.

Enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the lively streets of the ByWard Market and the neo-Gothic buildings of Parliament Hill from Rooftop, a hidden enclave high above the action. Peruse the menu of globally inspired small plates and heartier fare, ranging from ceviche and charcuterie to steak frites and sticky toffee banana pudding. Clever vegetarian and vegan choices are available, too.

The cocktail selection is similarly inventive. The hummingbird smash, for instance, is a refreshing blend of vodka, lime, cucumber, honey, soda and mint. Or just ask the bartender to mix up your favourite classic—a Manhattan or a martini, perhaps? You can also choose from a carefully curated selection of wines and craft beers. Often, live music provides the finishing touch to a memorable meal with unforgettable views.
