Blue Cactus closes its doors in Ottawa’s ByWard Market [Video]

Blue Cactus has closed its doors in Ottawa’s ByWard Market after serving customers for more than 35 years.

A sign on the restaurant’s door at 2 ByWard Market Square says Blue Cactus will be “closing its doors effective immediately.”

“This decision comes as we transition from one chapter to the next, and while it is bittersweet, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible journey we’ve shared with you,” says the note signed by the “Blue Cactus Team.”

“Since our opening, Blue Cactus has been more than just a restaurant, it has been a place where friendships were formed, celebrations were held, and memories were made. None of this would have been possible without the loyal support of our amazing clients.”
