5 Tastings & Afternoon Tea

Discover why Ottawa deserves a place on the culinary map on this 2.5-hour guided food tour of Ottawa's bustling ByWard Market. Your guide shares stories and anecdotes about the history and culture of the market, its vibrant local vendors and the food traditions that grew up with it, with commentary in English or French.

Along the way you visit the ByWard Market Pavilion, the Ottawa Letters, the York Street Plaza, the Courtyards, the Totem Pole of Canada and more, and meet some of the area's top food artisans. Tastings are at the heart of the experience: three savoury dishes, two sweet dishes and an afternoon tea to refresh you, with water at the restaurants and restaurant taxes and tips already covered.

The tour starts at 13:00 at the totem pole in front of the Ottawa School of Art on George Street, and groups are limited to 12 people. Portions are generous, so come hungry and enjoy a true taste of Ottawa.
