Predictable weekday patterns around government schedules with lighter weekends. LRT accessibility makes commuter pickup convenient. Average $7-10 CAD reflects public sector budgets.
What makes Downtown Ottawa different from other neighborhoods?▼
Downtown is government-dominated with federal civil servants creating massive weekday lunch/dinner demand but quiet weekends. Average $7-10 CAD is mid-range for Canada.

Look for poutine spots and French-Canadian bistros - Ottawa specialties reflecting bilingual heritage. Government cafeterias occasionally post deals with institutional portions.
Is Downtown Ottawa good for government workers?▼
Excellent - 100+ stores designed specifically for federal civil servants. Parliament Hill, departmental towers, and Confederation Building areas have dense lunch options. Most post 4-6 PM for evening pickup. LRT Confederation Line makes commute grab-and-go easy. Strong weekday availability matching government work schedules. Summer recess sees reduced listings.
How does Parliamentary schedule affect TooGoodToGo?▼
Heavy competition when Parliament is in session - tens of thousands of federal workers compete for deals during fall/winter/spring. Summer recess (July-August) is much easier with reduced government activity. Federal holidays see fewer listings. Long weekends popular with government workers mean Friday competition. Track Parliamentary calendar for strategy.
