Dear Ottawa friends, one of the most amazing diners in the city is closing down. Since 1942 Mello's restaurant has been open in the Byward market, becoming an iconic restaurant and is now fighting to keep its location at 290 Dalhousie street after the decision by the building owner to not renew its lease and give it to Ace Mercado!!

Please sign this petition and make our voices heard! We want our city's history preserved! Let's stop another take over of an iconic Ottawa restaurant and truly independent small business!
