Had a chance to visit @buvettedaphnee in Ottawa's Had a chance to visit @buvettedaphnee in Ottawa's Byward Market last night, and it didn't disappoint! Voted one of the Top 10 New Restaurants in Canada in 2024, this place really delivered a great experience. We tried everything on the menu - from creton croquettes to grilled maitake to cornish hen - and had trouble deciding on a favourite! All delish and served up in a cool space. We'll be back!! 😃🍽❤️ #supportlocal #canadastop100

Highlights of our visit to the Basilica di San Mar Highlights of our visit to the Basilica di San Marco in Venice this morning. Apart from the shear size and magnificance of the cathedral, we especially loved the Pala d'Oro (Golden Alterpiece) and Triumphal Quadriga - the original four bronze horses that adrorn the front of the basilica.
