March 27, 2023 – Ottawa, ON
The Shaw Centre is proud to debut its completely revamped 2023 menu. The menu features a number of items that are traditionally not found at convention centres and showcases suppliers from around the Ottawa area. The local flavours are incorporated into a wide variety of dishes that pull inspiration from all corners of Canada, making it the perfect menu for Canada’s Meeting Place.
Shaw Centre’s Executive Chef Patrick Turcot and his team have curated a culinary masterpiece. Partnering with true artisans, growers, and suppliers, locally as well as those from coast to coast, to bring together ingredients of the highest caliber for remarkably transformative culinary memories. Turcot says “Food is about memories. When you experience amazing food, it creates an unforgettable memory. That’s what I want guests to experience with this menu here at the Shaw Centre.”
“With the Shaw Centre currently holding the distinction of World’s Best Convention Centre, we’re excited to offer this world-class menu to our clients” says Nina Kressler, Shaw Centre’s President and CEO. Kressler says, “This new menu, which incorporates local suppliers and features dishes inspired from across Canada, will offer attendees a culinary experience usually not found at convention centres.”
As part of this new menu, the Shaw Centre is pleased to announce its second chocolate profile, By55 Lait no2. A milk chocolate offers a delectable blend of cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast and Tanzania with notes of caramel and a subtle salt finish.

The Shaw Centre is the only convention centre in the world to have two unique chocolate profiles.

About the Shaw Centre
Shaw Centre, previously known as the Ottawa Congress Centre, was founded in 1983. The Centre was redeveloped into a new, larger facility with project funding from the Province of Ontario, the City of Ottawa and the Government of Canada which opened its doors in April 2011 as the Ottawa Convention Centre (OCC). In October 2014, the OCC entered a 10-year partnership with Shaw Communications, rebranding the facility as the Shaw Centre. The state-of-the-art convention centre is a spectacular venue that induces economic impact by hosting conventions, conferences, meetings, and events. It was named the 2020 “World’s Best Convention Centre” by the International Association of Convention Centres (AIPC).
