Events Description
The Chef’s Table is a farm-to-table feast with menus curated by Canadian chefs and musical entertainment. Presented by the Ontario Festival of Small Halls, this year’s series will run for one weekend in June, two weekends in August and one weekend in September, in collaboration with the National Arts Centre’s Resident Chefs Program.
This multi-weekend event will once again showcase world-class chefs and great live music, from the patio of the NAC’s 1 Elgin Restaurant, by Ottawa’s gorgeous Rideau Canal. The 2026 Chef’s Table lineup will include some of the region’s most celebrated musical acts and menus curated by Chef Kenton Leier (of the National Arts Centre), along with several of Canada’s finest chefs.
Celebrate a special occasion with a three-course meal from world-class chefs – or just enjoy reconnecting with your closest friends over food, music, and the beauty of a summer night by the Rideau Canal.
