The 24 Best Restaurants in Ottawa, Ontario, and Gatineau, Quebec | Eater

"When the Senators played the Montreal Canadiens in the 2013 NHL playoffs, then-mayor Jim Watson bet a plate of Golden Palace egg rolls on his team (and won). It’s just one sign that Ottawa’s quintessential dish has got to be the egg rolls from this Chinese restaurant, which has been in business since 1960. A concoction of pork and veggies is stuffed into a golden-brown fried wrapper blackened at the tips, and it’s especially great dunked in hot mustard or delicious plum sauce. While the rest of the menu is just okay, people come from far and wide for these egg rolls." - Joel Balsam
