People on vacation who are staying in or around Ottawa in Ontario should enjoy a casual lunch or dinner at the Southern Cross Restaurant. The restaurant is located inside the Radisson Hotel on Queen Street in Ottawa and is a family friendly place that offers what has been referred to as some of the best Tex Mex food North of the border. The Southern Cross accepts bookings from non - residents of the hotel. The restaurant can get very busy and in order to ensure that you will get a table the owners recommend that patrons should make reservations.
The restaurant's position in the heart of downtown Ottawa means that it is close to major hotels and many of the city's attractions such as the National Arts Centre and the Rideau Centre. While the restaurant does have a wide menu the house specialities are in Mexican food. The restaurant is ideal for casual dining and it offers a warm, cosy interior and atmosphere with an outdoor patio where patrons can eat on warmer evenings. Its wood stained and brightly coloured interior gives the Restaurant a truly Texan feel. The Southern Cross Restaurant is open from seven am to eleven pm Monday to Saturday and closes an hour earlier on Sunday evenings.
If you visit the Southern Cross restaurant in the late afternoon between three and six pm and order a beverage of some kind then you can get nachos and wings at half price and this is a good deal at a restaurant where the food is already moderately priced.
