ByWard Market

Not quite what I expected. The core is quite small and not really like a market. However, if you think of it like an area, there are many interesting shops and lots of food options around.

Byward market is obviously the heart of Ottawa many different eateries and bakeries all sorts a little delicatessants yeah fantastic really a really cool place to go especially when you’re visiting but there’s a few things that I wanted to mention to that need to be worked on especially in the Biward market certain areas especially on York Street where it’s less than pedestrian friendly on either side of York Street there is pedestrian signs but very few people that actually take notice of them And I think what needs to go on is more as much as I don’t like them those bumps along the way I think they should be all the way around and that way at least it’ll limit people from zipping through after the couple bumps that are there it’s dangerous I’d be nice people to walk around freely in the Byward Market without having to worry about are they going to stop

This is an amazing historic market in Ottawa that is filled with a wide variety of businesses. It has great pubs, restaufants and cafes, souvenir shops, bakeries and more. The market has something for both licals and tourists, and is close to the O Train, Rideau Centre and Parliament Hill

Nice little market with different stands. You get something from different countries around the world, a lot from Asia, but from America.
Be it just coffee and cake or bread that you like or continue to a good stand that offers juices and smoothies, right up to the main courses. Everything looks delicious and tasty and it is.

Great ambience wider food choices reasonable prices and live music in the square at times. Perfect evening recipe for a good time.

The byward market Is a unique shopping and dining experience, in a society that favours chain stores and franchises.

Great place to visit if you live in Ottawa or it is your first time coming to visit. Full or outdoor events when the weather permits. Food stands and shops to walk around. Plus surrounded by bars and restaurants. Great spot to get some fresh air and a bite!

Definitely a must go to place if visiting Ottawa! Such rich culture, lots of shops and a great environment for a first time experience

I like Byward Market, it's a small version of the Toronto Distillery District with restaurants, small booths, indoor/outdoor areas. Close to Rideau Mall. Walking distance from hotels and inns depending on where you stay.

Very authentic food and great place for any meal. Very quiet.any shops are closed during weekdays and with the lower traffic due to COVID.

On trouve pratiquement de tout à tout les prix mais il faut que vous sachiez vous débrouillez en anglais car c'est quand même à Ottawa ou Awatta en huron

Love walking around.always stop at the Tea Shop.many good restaurants to choose from. Had breakfast at Zak's.very good. Delicious cupcakes next door. Many places to visit on the market. Enjoy

On dirait un mélange du vieux Montréal et de la rue Ste Catherine allée piétonnière. Juste se promener, arrêter manger un sorbet, une glace, sur une terrasse prendre un bon drink ou un lunch. Le temps passe si vite qu'il faut retourner car on a pas tout vu. J'ai adorée

Nice selection of restaurants. Saturday's have market stalls selling a variety of local food and drinks which is well with a visit.

You can easily spend 4-5 hours here walking around the vendors and stores. Not to mention all the places you can grab a bite to eat or a cold drink. Once the market closes the homeless do take over the chairs/streets so you're better off moving along as it doesn't feel safe.

De beaux fruits et légumes frais à vendre, plusieurs petites boutiques souvenirs et plus, belle terrasse où prendre une bière, très agréable de s'y promener, endroit pour prendre une photo avec les grosses lettres Ottawa! Qui sont dans le quadrilatère

This is a must see if you're ever in ottowa. I love the vibe, the energy and the overall atmosphere. There are many shops, restaurants and bars to visit. This is the type of place that there's something for everyone. Highly recommended!

Roxana était tout simplement gentille, attentionnée et efficace. Elle nous a offert une grande bouteille d'eau même si nous ne prenions qu'une simple bière. La musique nous emportait ailleurs. J'imagine une belle journée ensoleillée sur la terrasse à savourer une bonne bière avec une pizza. Nous y retournerons bientôt.

Beautiful and peaceful place. You can find tons of different kinds of food, there is an Ottawa sign to take pictures with, parking places outside and inside too. Fish, meat, bread, icecream, name it they have them!

It is Ottawa's tourist area. You can buy local grow vegetables
And flowers for your garden. But as year goes by, there are less and less vendor sell local vegetables. To me it is not a farmer market now. It is just an area for tourist only

Not my favourite place in Ottawa, though all the tourists and visitors love it. Plenty of restaurants and shopping to be done, so if you enjoy shopping, you'll like it. If you're looking for parks and to be closer to nature, walk up to Major's Hill park about 5 minutes away. The famous beaver tail stall is right at the square, a must-try for everyone, visitors and locals alike.

European vibes (on the English end) and plenty of decent places to visit for every type of interest. Surrounded by a National Gallery and Parliament on one side, they have shops that carry various doohickeys, and plenty of fish and chip spots to wet your whistle, or you can pick up some gluten-free goods or handmade chocolate! Beware the McDonald's close by tho.

Sunny day, friendly people and wonderful market ambience. Did I mention a cold glass of Alexander Keith's beer at the Lafayette?

Lots of merchandise and lots of activities going on here. Restaurants are very down to the earth with decent prices and nice foods, shops are everywhere for you to choose! Love this place!

Quaint, nice spot to walk around or sit and relax. Not as many stalls as there used to be, but still a nice spot for a visit.

I love the byward market. There's a little bit of everything for everyone. Food is great just about everywhere and its much more laid back than Toronto.

One can browse from indoors all the little vendors of items. However most vendors are food stands and little restaurants, plus the chocolatier and the French bakery/deli. You have to visit the square if you come to the Market.

Was in town for an old friends wedding and had to make a visit to one of my favorite markets in the nations capital, kids love their beaver tails!

Nice place to walk around and check out the shops, kiosks and the many restaurants. You can also get beaver tails anytime of the year in the market!

Just went in for a walk when visiting Ottawa.it's situated behind the parliament on the right side.housing many take out and stores.worth a visit

The market in Ottawa is a great place to visit anytime of year. Ottawa is such a great place to get around. Great place to spend sometime.

Great local vendors and amazing food! Always check the outside vendor prices first as they are usually lower.

MUST visit at this place! If you have lived in Ottawa all your life then you know that the ByWard Market is Beautiful the BEST place for hanging out for the night for shopping etc.

Place sympa et de bon petit restaurant pour manger. Par contre fin octobre, oubliez les stands etc il n'y a plus rien.

Very busy with shoppers and tourists. Street parking is hard to find but garage parking is available nearby. The market has an interesting variety of shops and restaurants.
