14 Mouthwatering Food Trucks You Need To Try This Summer In Ottawa
Food over everything.

I don't know about you, but to me, summer screams food trucks. Maybe that's because that's the only time most of them are open, but still! I think there is something quite special about ordering food out of a random truck, and having it in your hands a few minutes later. You can walk and eat, sit on a park bench and eat it, the world is your oyster when it comes to food trucks.
Ottawa is crawling with food trucks, and they're all so different from each other. You don't have to try them all, but you should. Put it on your bucket list to try at least one food from each of these trucks! While all of them are super unique, you'll love all of them. From popsicles to pizza to poutine in a double decker bus, the options are endless!
