Manx trumps all

Manx Pub scores Best Apps, Best Bartending Staff, Best Brunch, and Best Pub

It's no surprise this place cleaned up in so many Best Of categories. A recent trip to England confirmed what I already knew: The Manx is without a doubt Ottawa's only world-class pub. (No offence, Chez Lucien - I love you but your menu is not as inspired.) It's also one of the only good spots to eat on slop-filled Elgin Street.

Other spots may have excellent food, but are they as affordable as this? And then there are the sparkling-clean taps full of interesting microbrews, the amazingly friendly staff and the pub's mandate to support the local arts scene. Where else do you get all this under one roof, plus an unbelievably cozy atmosphere?

Go for the old favourites on the menu (quesadillas, lamb curry wrap, Furlonger club), the excellent weekend brunch, the exotic pints of chocolate porter or oatmeal stout, the phenomenal Scotch list, the fish and chips on Fridays, and the gourmet nightly specials cooked up by up-and-coming chefs. Come back a couple of times and the barkeep will likely remember your name.
