Welcome to Ottawa’s Historic Byward Market Square,
located in the oldest residential and commercial area of the
City. The current building was constructed in 1926, renovated
in 1975 and reopened in 1976. In Nov. 1997 the Byward Market
Revitalization Group formed a joint venture with the City of
Ottawa and undertook a major renovation and restoration of nearly
$2 million. The friendly Byward Market Square is now home to
over 20 individually owned and operated businesses. The Food
Emporium is irresistible with an array of delicacies from the
4 Corners of the World. Included are grocery items that you
can buy to create your own gourmet meal or take home the
prepared meal and “enjoy”. Byward Market Square
has a French Bakery where everything is baked on the premises.
Watch Bagels being made in an open fire, wood-burning oven,
visit our very own Chocolate Factory or stop by one of the Boutiques
or Artisans to find a gift for yourself or that “Special
Someone”. Byward Market Square is open 7 days a
week and is within walking distance to the City’s major
attractions. Whether you are a resident or a visitor Byward
Market Square is a true “Market Experience”.
