From classic French-Canadian dishes like poutine to the globally renowned shawarma, there’s always something to satisfy your taste buds in this diverse place.

In fact, with more shawarma shops than anywhere else outside of the middle east, many consider this delicious food to be Ottawa’s official dish.

But that’s not all – the city boasts some truly unique food experiences too, such as Ottawa-style pizza. With its thick, doughy crust and slightly spicy sauce, this pizza is a must-try for anyone visiting the city.

And let’s not forget about Beaver tails, a sweet fried dough pastry that originated in Ottawa back in the 1970s. It’s clear that when it comes to cuisine, Ottawa has something for everyone.
