I happened to be driving along the river when I spotted a restaurant that appears to have THE greatest view in the city. Canal Ritz, as its name suggests, is perched along the banks of the Rideau Canal. It is an Italian restaurant serving all the Italian basics - bruschetta, ravioli, pesto, manicotti, linguini, veal, pizza, etc. Entrees start at only $15 and go only as high as $28 (the steak). I ordered the ravioli - I am a sucker for it! I enjoyed it, but wish the portions were a little larger. The wine list is OUTSTANDING - they have almost 40 wines available, including reds, whites, roses, and sparkling wine. Sadly, it is not terribly intimate - the tables are close together. But, the food is devine, the prices are great and the VIEW is spectacular.
