Queen St. Fare

Enjoy some of the best local food, drinks and music in a casual, large dining hall located near downtown hotels and within two blocks of Parliament Hill.

The vendors at Ottawa’s first food hall, Queen St. Fare, are established local eateries that serve quick and tasty options including Mexican, Indian and Asian cuisine, as well as gourmet pizza, burgers, salads and coffee shop goodies. Order breakfast, lunch or dinner at the counter of your choice, then seat yourself at a table, booth or on the seasonal patio (or take your meal to go).

The Q Bar, open to the dining hall, serves local craft beers, wine on tap and funky cocktails. On select days and evenings, Queen St. Fare hosts special events such as trivia and live music—some events are free! The street-level venue is accessible and family-friendly (booster seats are available). It’s also committed to zero landfill waste since all packaging is compostable or recyclable, and there’s a self-serve water station.
