Chelsea in 1 day

Chelsea, Quebec is a popular gateway to Gatineau Park, offering easy access to hiking, biking, skiing and scenic lookouts just minutes from Ottawa–Gatineau. The village itself has a small, artsy feel, with cafés, local shops and heritage buildings clustered along its main streets.

Seasonal activities—from fall foliage and winter snow sports to summer lake outings—make it a year-round outdoor destination.
With favorites like Meech & Munch, TONIQUE, and Chelsea Pub, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Café Les Saisons Coffee, Chelsea, Québec and Mamma Teresa Ristorante so you can get the best taste of Chelsea while you’re here.

Massage spa
Nestled in the charming village of Old Chelsea, just a short drive from downtown Ottawa, Nordik Spa-Nature stands as North America's largest spa, offering an unparalleled wellness experience inspired by Northern European traditions. This serene retreat is designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit through its extensive range of facilities. Guests can indulge in 10 outdoor baths and 9 saunas while enjoying the breathtaking views of Gatineau Park's natural beauty.
Gorgeous location and facility. There are plenty of different spots to enjoy within the confines of the spa that you never feel overcrowded or bored. Amazing views, great staff. If I were to nitpick, the steam room was closed upon my visit and this was not disclosed prior to booking the experience. Easily one of the most attractive spas in Quebec. Looking forward to returning!

What a wonderful day. Every part of our experience was lovely. The spa is clean and well thought out. Many different types of saunas, freezing cold, cool, and warm pools, waterfalls, hammocks and swaying chairs as well as Adirondack chairs galore. Bring a book and relax for hours! The majority of the spaces are quiet or silent spots. So peaceful. The colors of the leaves in the fall were spectacular. The landscaping was beautiful.
Kiki H — Google review
Beautifully location and staff is amazing. Sauna rituals are amazing and always enjoy a cold plunge after. There is so much to discover there; multiple different temp pools, multiple different types of saunas, great locations to sit and enjoy a drink or snack and tons of other things to do as well. The food is always great as well. Book early if you want to include a treatment. Highly recommend the facial
Alison M — Google review
Our experience was very pleasant. Facilities were well-maintained and staff were considerate and responsive. The saunas were immaculate, and the ceremonies better than anticipated. We arrived on a quiet Sunday morning, and by the time we left (afternoon), the amount of attendees had quadrupled. Very busy, which led to some bathrooms not being kept up with quite as quickly. But these were minor incidents and eventually resolved. The hottest hot tub was packed, which was a bit unsavoury. We stayed clear and stuck to the saunas and cold plunges. It would seem to make more sense to not have differentiating warm pool temps to accommodate more people. It was clear everyone wanted the warmer temp waters. All in all, a great time. High probability of us returning in the future.
Harry T — Google review
Not to be dramatic, but the Nordik is my favourite spa in the world! The 15° cold plunge pool is my #1, the hourly sauna "rituals" are akin to group meditation, and I really enjoy the heated stone beds. The exfoliation areas are also 10/10! Clean, spacious, and lots of good options at many restaurants with different serving styles. The entire spa is excellent year round. Fall is probably my favourite. Enjoy 🙂
Shawna H — Google review
A perfect day of hot/cold/relax at this gorgeous spa! Facilities are immaculate (change room, relaxation rooms, pools, restaurants), food options and quality of food are delish! Little things like flavoured waters and teas are much appreciated :). The team at the front of the house and on the grounds are wonderful! Makes for a wonderful day…

It was amazingly serene and nurturing for an extremely busy SPA. Nordic Spa have made client organization an art. I spent 5 hours here and never felt rushed. Please look at the services - there are many wonderful options. I say - do them all and take your time.
Dennis B — Google review
Gorgeous Nordic spa surrounded by stunning nature—beautiful all year round! Sauna rituals are always an amazing experience, and as someone who knows real Siberian banya, I can say they get it right. Clean, well-maintained, and peaceful—a perfect place to unwind. Note: Massage experiences really depend on the therapist, and the Kalla treatment felt crowded and underwhelming, so it’s not worth it if you’re after something more personal and relaxing.

If you're on the hunt for a unique gift or simply want to elevate your home ambiance, look no further than Bougie Doozy Candle. This charming spot is renowned for its vibrant wax art and an impressive array of soothingly named candles like Japanese Cherry Blossom. The atmosphere is inviting, with friendly staff eager to help you find the perfect scent. Not only do they offer high-quality candles, but they also provide refill services for those who live nearby—how convenient!
Awesome store with beautifully curated vintage clothes and household items!

Very cool, amazing gift idea!! They can even refill candles (if you don't live too far) and I think that's awesome! Didn't actually buy a candle as I didn't have my wallet last time I was around so I have no product info. Customer service was great, pricing wasn't bad when you consider they are an independent company (I'm pretty sure) and the quality and designs on the candles were some of the most unique things I ever seen! Definitely pop in and check it out when in the area.

My experience was awesome! Folks are very friendly and helpful. They have an amazing selection of high quality candles, wonderful scented selections in addition to all kinds of holders. This place is truly a small gem of Old Chelsea. I highly recommend a visit. We walked out of there with several, makes a wonderful one of a kind gift. I’m sure to go back in the future.

Event venue
Chelsea Pub is a popular spot in the heart of Chelsea, Quebec, offering craft brews, cocktails, and delicious pub grub like burgers, wings, and salads. The restaurant is known for its storied locale with a patio that provides a fantastic atmosphere and rustic ambiance. Visitors can enjoy succulent nachos and locally sourced draught beers while taking in the beautiful surroundings of Chelsea.
Visited from Toronto and had an amazing experience at Chelsea Pub in the heart of Old Chelsea. The patio is a total gem—spacious, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying the atmosphere of the area. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made it even better. The poutine was absolutely incredible easily some of the best I’ve had during all my trips to Quebec. Perfectly crisp fries, rich gravy, and cheese curds that actually squeak exactly what you’d hope for and more. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. Great spot to kick back, grab a drink, and enjoy a true Quebecois classic done right.

We ordered two Chelsea Burgers with fries, upgrading one to sweet potato fries. The burgers were delicious and the sweet potato fries were excellent, but the regular fries were too oily and didn’t seem very fresh. I also had a virgin mojito, which was refreshing and tasty. Overall, the food was good, but the price felt quite high. On top of that, there was an extra charge for switching to sweet potato fries, which many other restaurants usually include at no extra cost.
Atefeh B — Google review
Went for a drink this week, but I have been many times before. Full lineup of house craft, house alcohol for cocktails, and wine. Food in the past has been ok for pub food, with nothing to rave about. The main draw here used to be the pub itself, which is beautiful, and the patio, which is even more beautiful. Since my last visit they have expanded behind and made the place a must visit pub. There is now a massive smoker, an area where they make their own alcohol, a kids play area, a funky outdoor section for lounging, events, bands. It is a full attraction. Definitely worth visiting in the summer months.

We visited Chelsea Pub over the long weekend, so there was about an hour wait to get a table. Our group of 8 ordered a mix of burgers, fish and chips, poutine, and smoked meat sandwiches. The burgers were definitely the highlight and really tasty. The smoked meat and fish and chips were decent, but the poutine was a letdown. The fries just weren’t great and could really use an upgrade. On the bright side, the patio had a great vibe and added to the overall experience.
Sheida — Google review
Main drag in Chelsea on reconciliation day was very busy. Table for 8 on the patio. Several of us had the Chelsea Pub burger with fries. Double patty with veggies and house burger sauce. Almost a smash burger. Nevertheless, it was mouth watering. Moist and well seasoned. Fries were great.otgers had the lovely huge fish and chips and others went for the nachos with no meat. Loads of veggies and cheese. To rinse it down we had their house beers from their Distillery in the back. Service was great. Could not complain about anything. You got to head out there and enjoy the fall colors. Cheers

Great spot to relax after a hike or bike ride in Gatineau Park. We stopped by Chelsea Pub and had a good overall experience. The Chelsea Burger was tasty, and the kids menu had solid options as well. The menu isn’t huge, but it covers enough ground for most tastes. Staff and servers were welcoming and friendly, though service was on the slower side — both for food and drinks. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re in a rush. We loved the outdoor seating, which was warm and cozy, and the indoor space is spacious and inviting — great for families or larger groups. It’s clear this is one of the most popular dining spots in the area for visitors. Beer selection is a highlight, with a good range from blondes to dark ambers, including a mix of local and imported options. Mixed drinks are more limited, but what they had was decent. All in all, we’d definitely return — especially after a day spent exploring the park
David H — Google review
Love the location, sitting on the patio is just a great way enjoy the meal, in a vibrant environment. The menu is meant to please, nachos, poutine, burgers, salads, a bit of everything. I would recommend this place to have a beer, catch up with friends, and share a nachos. I was disappointed in my chelsea burger, the bun was over toasted - hard and falling in chunks. The patties were cooked to dry and not enough sauce to save it. Same with the bacon, it was little chunks. I don't enjoy onion, just personal and requested to without. It had onion. It was a gorgeous day, but super busy. The waitress didn't have much time to come and check on us during the whole meal. She only came to char us up when it was time to pay. I was not impressed by the food, only the gorgeous day saved it. I could see how this is a hub and popular due to it's location.

I liked this place overall ... it was more the atmosphere and location that I truly liked. As for the food ... I had their "chelsea burger" with a mix of salad and fries ... now the burger was truly magnificent 👌🏾 very tasty and properly made, however the fries were less than desirable, they were very thin and not crispy at all, lastly the side salad was also not very good. I do recommend this restaurant 👌🏾.

The Gatineau Park Visitor Centre is a sprawling conservation park located just a short trip across the river from Ottawa. It covers over 361 square miles and is the second most visited national park in Canada. The park offers diverse activities such as hiking, biking, skiing, and nature spotting amidst its woods, lakes, and waterfalls.
Good place to visit on your way to the park. Clean interior, and kind staff. If you have questions regarding trail info & road situations, they always have answers. Inside, there’s a small and cute little museum. They sell merch (clothings, water bottles, stickers) too. Washrooms & parking available.

The Gatineau Park Visitor Centre in Chelsea, Quebec is a fantastic starting point for anyone planning to explore Gatineau Park. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels welcoming and well organized. The building itself is modern and thoughtfully designed, surrounded by forest and trails that immediately draw you in. Inside, the space is clean, bright, and filled with helpful resources that give you a real sense of the park’s history, ecology, and layout. One of the highlights of the centre is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Whether you're a first-time visitor or someone familiar with the park, the team is ready to help you choose the right trail, understand the current weather or trail conditions, and suggest activities that suit your interests or abilities. They speak both English and French, and they take the time to make sure you leave the centre feeling prepared for your visit. The small museum-style exhibit inside is also worth a few minutes of your time. It gives a clear and engaging overview of the park's ecosystems, wildlife, and conservation efforts. It's informative without feeling overwhelming, and it’s a great way to understand the broader context of the area you're about to experience. The centre also offers practical features like free parking, clean restrooms, drinking water, and accessible entrances. Located near several trailheads, it makes for an ideal place to plan your day or take a break. Overall, the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre is more than just an information stop. It enhances your visit, adds context to your experience, and helps you appreciate the natural beauty of the park even more.

Terrible service at this cafe. I ordered an apple cider from this place. On the sign it says $4.15 and that is not what they charged me. After telling them that and that the sign they have says $4.15 they just said "oh well that's our mistake". Not even offering me a refund or taking accountability for their mistake. The cider was not even that great. As someone that works customer service this was incredibly disrespectful. Also don't bother going to the bathroom. There is a window and everyone can see you doing your business. No privacy and the window was not able to go down. AWFUL PLACE

Tucked away in the picturesque Gatineau region of Quebec, Mamma Teresa Ristorante offers a delightful escape into authentic Italian cuisine right in the heart of Canada. This charming restaurant is celebrated for its cozy atmosphere and dedication to traditional recipes, showcasing everything from homemade pasta to delectable desserts that reflect Italy's rich culinary heritage.
I ate here with my family after a day of skiing. The food was delicious, with my lasagna in particular being very good. Our appetizers of garlic bread and Ceasar salad were also tasty. Note: As the lighting was low and it was the evening, the photos turned out dark.
James C — Google review
As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I have a deep appreciation for not only great food, but exceptional service — and Mama Theresa’s in Chelsea never fails on either front. The owner/manager and entire staff are some of the friendliest, most personable, and genuinely efficient people I’ve ever encountered. Every visit feels special. They take pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction. The food? Always amazing. I make a point to try something new every time, and I’ve never been disappointed. Whether it's pasta, seafood or one of their specials, everything is prepared with care and full of flavour. We come often since it’s only about 15 minutes away, but tonight’s visit was a little extra special — it was my birthday. Even though we were just there last week, my boyfriend told me to pick anywhere I wanted to go... and I didn’t hesitate. Mama Theresa’s was the only choice. That says it all. Whether you're looking for a relaxed, chill dinner spot or a place with a more upscale, polished vibe — this is it. They truly cater to all, and they do it with heart. Highly recommend. Always a 5 out of 5. No doubt.

Breakfast restaurant
Nestled in Gatineau Park, Tonique Restaurant is a hidden gem known for its exceptional brunch offerings. The restaurant provides a variety of delectable dishes that cater to all palates, from avocado and smoked salmon toast to the classic lunch options. With seating for 25 indoors and an additional 40 on the terrace, guests can savor their meals while enjoying scenic views of the park and nearby hiking trails. During summer, visitors can explore Tonique's charming garden.
Went to TONQIUE for brunch with 3 friends. The service was a little slow but they made up for it with how well they knew the menu and how to accommodate for my gluten and dairy allergies. I was able to get soy milk for my latte and gluten free bread for my breakfast plate. The home fries are seasoned well and taste so good. My friend got the French toast and said it was a good balance of sweet and savoury with the berries. The avocado toast was also a hit. We’d all definitely come back and recommend to others !

The place was lovely with a beautiful view, and the waitress was kind and attentive to our dietary restrictions. However, we faced an issue with finding small pieces of black plastic in one of our smoothies. When we informed the waitress, I was not satisfied with her reaction, which was simply, Sorry, I don't know what that is.Despite the pleasant atmosphere and otherwise good service, this incident upset us. We hope they can improve its quality control and staff training to ensure better handling of such situations in the future.

Cute spot but you may as well walk up the street to Palmier. We waited about 40 minutes for our food and the server never came by to check on us once either before or after we got our food. Feedback on the food: potatoes were wet. Not crispy, not roasted, just wet. And if you're going to serve salad that's dressed, at least toss it. Don't plop it on top. There's no room on the plate to toss it ourselves. The breakfast sandwich is 80% bread, and pretty bland. Nice patio I guess.

Went back with my girlfriends for the first time since the reopening. Had amazing drinks and great conversations around lovely food. Our server was the sweetest. We had to wait a little bit for our meals but it was not even a probably since we had opportunity to catch up but even then our server surprised us with a plate of ALL the deserts ON THE HOUSE!!! We forgot to ask his name but he was a young man with dark mid lenght hair and he was a great host. Thank you Meech and Munch

The place is really nice and the atmosphere is great . I highly recommend the ceaser salad, the club sanduish and a bottle of wine (bellevue la foret) . The spinach dip is not the best as it contains a lot of cheese . The restaurant is cozy and really close to Chelsea hiking trails

To save you time…would I go back or suggest it to friends or family…I don’t think so. Have been waiting for months to go since they were still building because the local looked, so finally went. The local: Nice wood construction, ambience relaxed, no noise at all from surrounding Chelsea is like a oasis, good music, there’s indoor seating and a lovely patio in the back. They have a parking lot. So local…check. Service: There were only three clients, us included, one server who was welcoming, it took like 25 minutes to be served. I had a drink and was never asked if wanted more. So I’d say was not bad service but room for improvement. Food: Unremarkable. If you are going expecting delicious food…go somewhere else, was just normal, noting special, and believe me, I am not picky. I had the smallest steak I have even been served in my life, was done as required but was bland even after adding the gravy. The tuna salad was also small, like 5 pieces of tuna, vinaigrette was good. I have had better food in the area for less or the same like the Hibou at Wakefield or Biscoti and Cea at Chelsea. I might go back for a beer and maybe try the burger for a second try but my expectations will be low. I wish things get better, the place is lovely but food and service need work.

This was an order For pick up. First the good: The wings are AMAZING. Unfortunately I Ordered the “Kale Caesar salad” with grilled chicken and there was neither kale nor grilled chicken. I called back left a message and no one got back to me.

Great spot, a must try if you've never been! Staff is wonderful, food is great! (locally themed names makes it very fun) And the decor is very fresh and inviting.

I went with good friends on Saturday and the food and service was great. Jade our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. I would definitely go back!

Great spot in Chelsea! The beer and cocktails are excellent, and the food is just as good. Prices are very reasonable, especially when they have specials. Service is usually very good as well, though it can be a bit slower when the place is busy and staff is stretched. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Arrived 6:25 and decided to leave at 7:40 when it was still going to be more than 10 min more for us to get our appetizers. Update: We were offered (for free) a main dish of someone who left due to the wait. And some of our other food came while we ate that. The wait staff were amazing and just felt bad for us and were doing whatever they could to get us fed. The place is just taking more reservations (yes, we had one) than the kitchen can handle.
