Discover Canada's culinary scene

"I know a place." It’s the line that sparks curiosity and guarantees a great time. Canada is that friend who knows where to look—the historic Calgary ranch where fine dining meets local, sustainable ingredients, the Richmond food court stall serving dumplings that could rival Shanghai’s, and the world-famous Vancouver food truck led by an Indigenous chef bringing bannock to the masses. Whatever you’re craving, we’ve got the map. When we say, “We know a place,” we mean it.

Rooted in the land

In Canada, the land isn’t just a pretty backdrop—it’s the main ingredient. Alberta’s prairies serve up world-class beef that’s earned acclaim around the globe, Niagara’s frosty winters turn grapes into the gold standard of icewine, and Québec’s maple trees produce syrup so sweet, spring tastes like tradition. Our terrain sets the table and brings the flavor.
