Continental Delicatessen

European Deli Market in Ottawa

Continental Delicatessen is one of the first European grocery stores in Ottawa, established in 1956 in the heart of the ByWard Market. The shop offers homemade perogies, cabbage rolls, kielbasa, deli meats, and a wide selection of Polish and Eastern European specialty foods.

For nearly 70 years, Continental Delicatessen has been supplying Ottawa with homemade perogies and cabbage rolls, fresh kielbasa, and deli meats, and the shop's sandwiches are consistently named among the best in the city. The shelves also carry Milka chocolate and other imported sweets, pickles, and specialty foods from across Eastern Europe.

The shop remains a family business and keeps the feel of a genuine European delicatessen right in the heart of the ByWard Market - with attentive staff and consistent quality that customers have come back for across generations.
