What is it Really Like to Live in Wellington Village?
As you enter Wellington Village, you might do a double take, thinking you may have left Ottawa entirely. The neighbourhood has a fantastic small-town feel with many people exploring and carrying out their errands on foot.
A short walk down the street and you’ll come across exceptional local amenities. Get crafty with supplies from Fabrications, discover ethical Canadian-made fashion at Victoire, try a vintage guitar or admire the beautiful pianos at Lauzon Music, or get your bike tuned up at Fresh Air Experience.
In the evening, Wellington Village is just as locally-focused and active. Supply and Demand is our go-to for fresh seafood and exceptional pasta, or for an aesthetically pleasing night out, try Parlour, with its spacious design and fun take on eating out. Do you love brunch? There’s something for you in Wellington Village. Chesterfield’s Gastro Diner is lined up out the door on weekend mornings, while the Wellington Diner is the iconic greasy spoon in the area.
