There's no doubt in my mind that Amsterdam has 1. more immigrants (relative and absolute) 2. more diverse groups of immigrants 3. more restaurants 4. greater variety of restaurants.
There is no dominant ethnic cuisine in Amsterdam, sure you'll find many Asian restaurants (Chinese, Indonesian, Thai, Japanese, Indian, etc), but the variety is enormous. Like I said, second only (in Europe) to London, Paris and perhaps Brussels. If you think Ottawa can compete with this I'd like to see your arguments...
