Air Canada has released its annual long list of Canada’s Best New Restaurants — and while Ottawa was almost shut out, Riviera, a fine-dining restaurant on Sparks Street, made the 30-restaurant long list.

It’s not necessarily surprising, either, since Riviera comes from successful roots: one of its chefs, Matthew Carmichael, operates El Camino, which was named one of Canada’s best restaurants by Air Canada in 2014.
