Lonely Planet review for ByWard Market

The ByWard Market, at the corner of George St and ByWard St, is the best place in town for one-stop shopping. Vendors cluster around the old maroon-brick market building, erected in the 1840s. Outdoor merchants operate booths from 6am to 6pm year-round (although the winter weather drastically reduces the number of businesses). In summer, over 175 stalls fill the streets, selling fresh produce from local farms, flowers, seafood, cheese, baked goods and kitschy souvenirs. Dalhousie St, a block east of the market, has been rising in popularity with a smattering of hipster boutiques and fashion houses.

    A bit of everything

    yowrob recommends this,

    Shops and outdoor stands litter this bit of Ottawa culture, A great place to spend an afternoon or a few days! During the day the shopping is fantastic and at night the bars, clubs and coffee houses are open late and livley.
