Play Food & Wine

Explore the local flavours of Ottawa in a casual, contemporary setting, offering seasonal small and sharing plates, using locally sourced produce, along with suggested wine pairings from an extensive and carefully curated list.

Located in the Byward Market, across from the OTTAWA sign in the York street plaza, Play Food & Wine offers a rotating selection of wines, cheeses and charcuteries side by side with an ever-changing seasonal menu that encourages exploration and sharing. Enjoy the fare in the cozy dining room, sip cocktails or wine at the sleek main bar, or even grab a seat at the kitchen bar by the open-concept kitchen on the second floor, to see the chefs in action.

The restaurant is one of three owned by Stephen Beckta in Ottawa.
