The Most Adventurous Date Night in Ottawa

Looking to shake up your usual dinner date routine? Whether it’s a first date or a night out with your longtime love, this Ottawa date night blends adventure, atmosphere, and a little local magic.

Start with an Adrenaline Kick at Interzip

Nothing says spark like soaring side-by-side across the Ottawa River. Interzip is the world’s first interprovincial zipline, giving you both a bird’s-eye view of Parliament Hill, the rushing Chaudière Falls, and the skyline as you fly from Ottawa to Gatineau, 120 feet in the air.

It’s the kind of bold start that sets the tone for a night to remember.

Dinner with a View: Ottawa or Gatineau?

After your zip, walk just a few minutes to one of these romantic local spots:

Mill Street Brew Pub (Ottawa side)

Located in a historic stone building at LeBreton Flats, this laid-back brew pub is a go-to for couples. Grab a table on the riverside patio, sip on local craft beers, and enjoy comfort classics with a view of the water you just flew over.

Want something more off-the-beaten-path? Head to Gatineau.

If you want a more elevated date-night experience, consider Soif Bar à Vin in Old Hull. Owned by renowned sommelier Véronique Rivest, it’s a wine bar with laid-back elegance and an ever-changing list of small plates and curated wines. It’s a classy yet unexpectedly cozy end to your zip-powered evening.

End the Night with a Sunset Walk

There’s no better way to wind down than a golden-hour stroll across the Chief William Commanda Bridge. This scenic pedestrian bridge links Ottawa and Gatineau with sweeping views of the river, city skyline, and beyond.

Start near the Canadian War Museum or head back across from the Gatineau side. As the sun sets, the whole city glows it’s quiet, peaceful, and wildly romantic.

Bonus: If you're planning a special moment, this is the place.
