Welcome to Slow Food Ottawa Gatineau

Slow Food is about FOOD
and People who are passionate about FOOD
Slow food is a growing, enthusiastic group of people who like to gather around the table to share delicious seasonal food, often grown in our own gardens or produced by local small-scale purveyors. We are trying to slow the fast life and fast food, and take the time to TASTE again.
We think about what we are eating, how it was grown, how far it had to travel to get to us, and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
Slow Food supports local farmers, restaurants, cooks, artisan bakers, cheese makers, wineries, and micro-breweries that support each other and us. We inspire each other and face challenges together.
Slow Food Ottawa strives to protect the regional cuisine and heritage foods of the Ottawa Valley. Since 2002 we have been organizing dinners, workshops, foraging excursions, farm tours, food and wine tastings, and visits to farmers markets.
We are constantly looking for better food options, and learning about sharing everything local.
Founded on a desire to share the freshest, ripest, most delicious local foods with friends and family, the chapter is dedicated to the core idea of having respect for the food on our table - and for the people who produce it.

Slow Food is Good + Clean + Fair
We believe that the food we eat should taste good,
be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or human health, and that its producer should receive fair remuneration for their work.
