Mike Duffy's Favourite Political Gossip Hot Spots

Award winning journalist Mike Duffy is the dean of the parliamentary press gallery. He has covered every Prime Minister since John Diefenbaker and currently hosts Mike Duffy Live, a daily hour-long program of political news and analysis on CTV NewsNET.

  1. Parliamentary Restaurant, 6th floor in the Centre Block. Exclusive for parliamentarians and press gallery members. You have to watch where you sit because the ceiling’s decorative “domes” reflect sound. Could be embarrassing if you’re not discreet.
  2. Rideau Club, 99 Bank Street. Lunches crowded. Evenings and the private function rooms are more discreet. This members-only establishment is a favourite of senior bureaucrats.
  3. Hy’s Steak House, 170 Queen Street. Sometimes referred to as the “waiting room” for the Rideau Club. Lots of lobbyists and other political operatives. No secrets here.
  4. Mama Teresa Ristorante, 300 Somerset Street West. You could find yourself sitting next to an MP, senator, cabinet minister, even a former prime minister at this friendly and informal eatery. The upstairs function rooms are where real secrets are discussed.
  5. D’Arcy McGee’s Irish Pub, 44 Sparks Street. Lots of fun and loud chatter, a favourite spot with young parliament hill staffers, and MPs looking for a break after a long day.
