Nestled right beside the Rideau centre, and just a minute’s walk from the Rideau Canal, The Albion Rooms is a charming and historically laden spot that dates back to 1870 when it was the old Albion Hotel. Today, it’s become a relaxed and sophisticated dining spot for those who know where to find it. Its menu and dining experience hold to tradition, serving ‘farm to fork’ dining options, along with a variety of craft beers from Ontario and craft cocktails.

The aesthetic of this restaurant comes second only to the food, which offers a wide range of pasta, pork, veal, lamb, and many other Italian specialties. It’s the perfect place to get away for a romantic diner in the west end.
