Ottawa: Oh Canada Eh Dinner Musical & 5-Course Meal

Summary

Canadian music, singing servers, family-style feast in Ottawa

You’ll share laughs and classic Canadian tunes as costumed performers serve up both songs and a hearty five-course meal right at your table. Expect playful moments with singing Mounties and Anne of Green Gables, plus plenty of chances to join in if you want. It’s two hours that’ll leave you full — and probably humming on your way home.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Musical in Ottawa — maybe it was the idea of being served by a singing Mountie (felt almost too much), but honestly, it turned out to be one of those nights that just sticks with you. The room was buzzing even before the show started, people chatting over the clatter of plates, and then suddenly there’s a lumberjack belting out Shania Twain while handing me mashed potatoes. I didn’t expect to laugh that much or to actually know so many of the songs.

Our local guide/server (I think his name was Mike?) had this way of making everyone feel part of it — he winked at my attempt to sing along to Celine Dion (no regrets). The show jumps from old folk tunes to Justin Bieber in what feels like seconds. At one point Anne of Green Gables danced past our table and gave my aunt a high five. There’s something about hearing “If I Had $1,000,000” with strangers that makes you feel like you’re all in on some big inside joke. The family-style meal comes out hot and fast — roast beef, maple-glazed veggies, fresh bread — nothing fancy but somehow perfect for the vibe. You can smell the gravy before you see it.

I kept thinking how Canadian it all felt without being cheesy (okay, maybe a little cheesy but in a good way). The performers are genuinely having fun — you can tell by the way they tease each other between numbers. My nephew tried to guess which character would serve dessert next; he got it wrong every time. By the end, everyone’s clapping along whether they planned to or not. Walking out into the cool Ottawa night after two hours of music and food, I felt lighter than when I came in. Still hum those songs sometimes when nobody’s listening.
