Tour and Taste - Byward Market

Well last night I and the staff at Bridal Solutions had the pleasure of joining Estrelita (marketing consultant), as well as a few other vendors from the Ottawa area on a tour and taste of Kiki, Mambo and Helsinki; all located in the Byward Market. We had a great time sampling some fabulous appetizers and cocktails. These three spots are hot and if you're looking for some great sushi, then Kinki is the place for you. With their unique decor and accomidating menu, even those that aren't crazy about sushi will love this place. Next we stopped in at Mambo. I have to say this was probably my personal favorite, being latin of course, I couldn't resist the food and great music. Again, a wonderful atmosphere, a fantastic private room that can accomidate up to 40 people comfortably and delicious food. For all you latin lovers out there, this is the place to go if you enjoy live entertainment while you dine, great food and terrific drinks, then beinvenidos amigos, go to it. Our last stop was at Helsinki. This is a great hot spot if you want a swanky, funky place, with a great dance floor, colourful lights and high energy. All three spots are super accomidating and will cater to private parties, functions and weddings. Yes, weddings! Best of all, they don't charge a fee for 'closing' the place down for you or taking over the private room at Kinki or Mambo...how great is that? If you've ever thought about having your ceremony in the Courtyard down in the Market, then Helsinki is the place for you as it backs onto the Courtyard. You could have a completely private reception and dance the night away in their lower level, while some of your more laid back crowd might want to hang out upstairs.

Next time you're down in the market check them out, you don't need reservations and who knows you might want to start planning your next event there.

Happy Planning!
