Nepean Sailing Club

This was one of my favorite summer hangouts! Even though I don't have a boat, it was wonderful to just sit at the patio, watch the boats come in, enjoy a

I've been back to this restaurant three times in the past monthThe first two, the food was actually quite good.

If you are a land locked boater this is a spot to assuage your longing of the water. Fortunately this Club welcomes non members to enjoy their patio and well priced drinks and food.The draft pints are now running at $5.35 plus tax. We enjoyed an order of pita wedges with olive tempanade and beets for $6.00 We noticed an elaborate awning setup over the waterside balcony which offered plenty of shade.The site is part of the Dick Bell park and offers a paved walkway/trail alongside the river extending over to the Andrew Hayden park.Take a stroll and visit the Club for some refreshments. Everyone is welcome.

This deck on the Ottawa River is perhaps the only place in Ottawa to eat outside surrounded by dozens of sailboats. As the guest of a Club member, and as a long-time Ottawa resident, it was a revelation that all are welcome to drink and dine, outside or inside! Everything is self-serve, with a high-tech system to announce when your order is ready. My fish and chips were very good, and the price was right. A choice of house wines is available by the glass. On a Friday afternoon in September, the deck was busy, but not a problem. We'll return, perhaps on the bike path.

Sitting outside on the deck and overlooking the Ottawa River is the big draw for us to eat here. Food is good as well. You order at the bar, then they alert you when it's ready. Prices are reasonable.
