Local Fresh Ingredients Matter

Shaw Centre is committed to culinary excellence. It is a commitment that includes fresh seasonal, regional, organic and sustainable ingredients, and extends through preparation plating and service.

Our carefully planned menus and exquisitely prepared dishes reflect growing trends toward eating global and dining local – appealing to increasingly varied international tastes, while responding to twin demands of healthy eating and responsible, sustainable business practices.

We work diligently to source many of our products from local suppliers. Morning, noon, and night, our talented kitchen brigades create palate-pleasing and beautifully presented selections, with élan and flair. Prepare to be wowed by Canada’s Meeting Place.
