ARTS CAFÉ at the Sheraton Ottawa
150 Albert Street, monthly concerts usually on weekends at 7 p.m.
The idea of the Arts Café is to offer a platform where people can meet in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoy light food and their favoured beverage and, above all, listen to live music of highest standard. So if you are a music lover and if you are open to something different from a concert hall, don't miss the Arts Café.
