Wanna grab a bite? Sure, where?

How often do we ask each other that question when it is time to go for some food?  No matter the occasion, we often end up at our favorite locations because we can’t think of anything. This little guide can come to the rescue.  I am a very sporadic contributor (and therefore I won’t make any money if you do buy it!!) to CheapEats Ottawa, but I find it very handy as a foodie looking for new places to indulge.
