I have now spent two years in the National Capital Region, with one year in Aylmer in Quebec, and one year in Ottawa. While this guide focuses primarily on Ottawa, I’ve included a few spots ‘across the river’ on the Quebec side, as there are some celiac-friendly treats there that aren’t to be missed.
