Chateau Lafayette
Proudly holding the title of ‘Ottawa’s oldest tavern,’ Chateau Lafayette, also affectionately known as The Laff, technically pre-dates the confederation of Canada itself, having first opened its doors in 1849. During this time, it has unsurprisingly changed hands and names many times, and the current owners proudly mark its role in the city’s rich history through the multitude of historic objects displayed on its walls. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a good range of drinks on offer and various forms of entertainment throughout the week, including Tuesdays’ open mic night.
