Food for Thought - Exhibits with taste

While Ottawa may not be a sophisticated metropolis that compares with London, Paris, or Rome, it is still the national capital, and as such is blessed with excellent museums and galleries, as well as some really good food.

A FULFILLING COUPLE OF DAYS can easily be spent wandering among masterpieces from across the centuries at the National Gallery of Canada or strolling beside the massive antique crafts at the Aviation Museum. The Canadian War Museum offers a quiet sanctum for contemplating the horrors and sorrows of conflict, while heritage and culture (not to mention a busy children's museum) await at the Canadian Museum of History. But in only one of these august institutions will you find a decent meal food for the body, having nourished the soul.
