About Copper Spirits & Sights
Copper Spirits & Sights sits on the 16th floor of the Andaz Ottawa Byward Market hotel at 325 Dalhousie Street, making it Ottawa's highest rooftop dining destination. The restaurant and bar combines signature cocktails with small plates, all set against panoramic views of Parliament Hill, the ByWard Market, and the Gatineau Hills stretching across the Ottawa River.
The outdoor terrace features a fire pit, extending the rooftop experience beyond the interior dining space. This combination of elevation, open-air seating, and city views distinguishes Copper Spirits & Sights from Ottawa's ground-level dining options—few restaurants in the city offer comparable vantage points for watching sunsets over Parliament or the distant hills of Gatineau Park.
The Rooftop Experience
The 16th-floor location provides unobstructed sightlines in multiple directions. Parliament Hill and the Ottawa River dominate the western view, while the ByWard Market spreads out below and the Gatineau Hills rise to the north. The elevation transforms familiar Ottawa landmarks into a different perspective, particularly striking at sunset and after dark when the city lights emerge.
The fire pit terrace adds warmth to cooler evenings, making the outdoor space usable beyond peak summer months. The combination of open flame, city views, and cocktails creates an atmosphere suited to date nights and special occasions—a setting that feels distinct from typical Ottawa dining.
