Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

A perfect Walk Score of 100 says it all: Centretown, bounded by the Rideau Canal and the Queensway in central Ottawa, is a place you never need to drive. Its 130 restaurants average a superb 4.7 and its 35 coffee shops keep the caffeine flowing, while Foursquare tastes span Italian, Japanese, and sushi kitchens alongside the pubs and bars. The favorites capture its range. Mazarine brings a refined edge, The Great Canadian Poutinerie keeps things joyfully Canadian, and Afghani Kabob Express adds global heat. With 14 grocery stops and 19 fitness studios, this Somerset Ward core covers ambition and everyday life in equal measure.
