I was not sure about replying since it's now Wednesday, but then I looked at the date and you haven't had your Sunday here yet!
The Museum of Civilization changes some of their displays around once in a while, so there may be a few things there that you haven't seen yet. It's always a nice place to visit. There are a couple of other museums worth checking out. The first is the War Museum. Since they've moved it from their old location beside the Royal Canadian Mint they've been able to bring out much more of the artifacts that they had closeted up.
Another museum, and one that you can bank on, is the Currency Museum. They're open from 1pm to 5pm on Sundays. It's also located conveniently within walking distance of Parliament Hill. It's a small museum and won't take you long to get through it all.
As for food, depends on your budget and tastes. I've always wanted to try the Sunday brunch at Zoe's Lounge in the Chateau Laurier. The dress code is smart casual and I'm pretty sure the food there would be excellent, but it's $39.00. If you're in the mood for some decent Mexican food, Ahora has as 87% approval rating. They're located in the Byward Market on Dalhousie Street. There's also Chez Lucien on Murray Street. They have an 89% approval rating and is a pub food type place. All this information is from 'urbanspoon'. I'm trying to think what I would do on a Sunday in Ottawa with no car....
Taxis are available when needed. Blue Line is probably going to be your best bet in Ottawa. Sometimes it takes a bit for you to get connected to dispatch, but that's what happens with taxi companies in most places!
