    As I live near Lansdowne, coming here on Sundays has become a family ritual. Although it is much better in the warmer months, I still like shopping here in the winter.

    A nice place to buy fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables. You can also purchase local honey, cider, maple syrup, eggs, meats, and all sorts of crafts.

    What a delight! I was so impressed with the freshness of food offerings in December and the variety of food and products on sale. The band was great too! Outside, the European style Christmas market definitely helps spread the holiday spirit.

    Fresh produce, mushrooms and more. Several *vegan* food vendors: (1) Hot Potato Co., with jacket potatoes, wedges, fresh lemonade (the Market Spud comes with whatever local fruit/veg/greens are fresh that day, $14, with [vegan] gravy, cheese or sour cream). They do crepes at the Westboro market on Saturdays and the spud truck at the Parkland Night Market on Wednesdays. (2) All About the Soup has a wide array of soups, including four cold soups for summer, made from fresh, local vegetables, low sodium, no added preservatives or thickeners. Most of the soups are vegan. I enjoyed the Gazpacho and Moroccan Stew.; (3) Raon Kitchen offers a good, vegan gim bap roll (spinach, pickled radish, carrot, tofu, kimchi cabbage rice, rolled in seaweed) $16.

    Very small Christmas market which you can walk through in 5-10 minutes. Somewhat repetitive vendors so perhaps it would be beneficial to include more diverse vendors and reserve space for those that don't already have a storefront in Lansdowne. Limited seating and photo op decorations are limited.

    Nice to walk around in the winter/spring, but probably it'll be better in the summer. The facility is huge, and less than half of it was filled with vendors. In the spring it was mostly bakery, meat, jam, cheese, and honey kiosks. There was hardly any fruits/veg vendors. Prices aren't cheap, but it's a cool place to be on a Sunday and to walk around indoors. I'll visit again in the summer and update my review.

    Good to hear here on a Sunday. Plenty of fresh produce, newly prepared hot and cold food, wild game, homemade goods and some baked goods as well. Plenty of diverse booths line the expansive hall and the prices are usually pretty good.

    One of the best farmers markets I've been to in Canada. It's beautiful and outdoors, so many vendors. There was great produce, food and even treats for the dog! I had a falafel wrap which was so good! All the pastries were delicious. The soap looked like fudge.

    Great place to be on a Sunday. Fresh produce, great foods and amazing vendors. Sunday from 9am to 3pm. Come down and take a look… you won’t regret it.

  • 5/5 Tarek B. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is one of the most historic locations of ottawa, with a social experience and the availability of fresh foods made by local farmers and hand. Despite the pandemic, the atmosphere remained as close as possible too the traditional farmers market one. I highly recommend families and friends groups too visit the OTTAWA farmers market and to consume local to encourage or local farmers. Reviewed by Tarek Belghith, RZ Network.

    Wonderful assortment of local meats, vegetables, baked goods, crafts, beverages, and prepared foods. The outdoor Christmas market is open and makes a great addition to the Farmers' market.

    How do I had several farmer markets and this is the largest. I recommend visiting any time of year, and in particular make a point of picking up some fresh bread from true love.

  • 5/5 Erica M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an incredible farmers market. Not just supermarket produce like so many others, but actual locally grown food sold by the people that grow it. Its a one stop weekly shopping for those who like to eat fresh food! Meat, cheese, veggies ( including fresh mushrooms and fresh dried beans), fruit, bread, tea, soap, candles, dog treats. What more could one ask for?

  • 5/5 Stuart M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful market in Lansdowne where you can find a great assortment of products from produce to meats to crafts. A place to stroll around plus dog friendly (though my dog had a hard time focusing with all the yummy smells)!

  • 5/5 Boom D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool location and a really good mix of items on offer. The few purchases that I made were fresh and fantastic. I had some parking issues as an out of town visitor but figured it out in the long run.

    I was more in the park zone, but did make a b-line to Pascale's Ice Cream stand. She had some amazing Cookie Monster ice-cream. Highly recommend checking out.

  • 5/5 Dayle D. 2 years ago on Google
    Always such a fun outing, perfect for a chill Sunday date. I never visit here without bringing home some kimchi, baked bread, and dog treats. The vendors are always so nice and fun to talk to as well!

  • 5/5 Ed C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful market. Lots of vendors, with a large variety of farm products. From organic grass fed meats to fresh local produce, to honey, household products, etc. Food stalls sell amazingly tasty treats, and unique items like miso and kimchi, hot sauce, etc. Good location, and easy to get there by foot or transportation. A great way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday!

🫤 This store has truly deteriorated over time. A bunch of brands that used to be here are gone. There’s now a half a floor dedicated to Forever 21 instead of having nice expensive brands like before. The service quality has also decreased, with employees on their phones and chatting around instead of...
