Experience the Flavors and Tastes of Ottawa–Gatineau Ontario

A bilingual capital region with beavertails, poutine, and Quebec's food traditions across the river.

November 10, 2022

Ottawa and Gatineau face each other across the Ottawa River, one in Ontario and one in Quebec, and eating here means using both.

Byward Market in Ottawa is the historic centre — operating since 1826, and where the BeaverTail, a flat fried pastry, was popularised. Poutine is everywhere and is taken more seriously on the Quebec side.

Gatineau brings the fuller Quebec tradition: tourtière, sugar shacks in the spring, cheese from Quebec’s substantial artisanal industry, and a francophone bistro culture. The sugar shack season in March and April is the regional highlight, and several operate within a short drive of the city.

The capital’s diplomatic population has also given Ottawa an unusually broad range of international restaurants for its size.
