Ottawa's Restaurant Week Returns!

This special week-long event, cooked up by the Ottawa Visitors Center and Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce, will give you the rare opportunity to try new meals made from ingredients grown right here in Starved Rock Country. Pairing knowledgeable chefs with unbeatable farmer's market quality fruits and vegtables, Ottawa's second annual Local Foods Restaurant Week sets out to showcase some of the delicious dishes that can be prepared using Starved Rock Country-grown ingredients. This unique program, that blends agritourism with local dining, is the result of a novel partnership between The Ottawa Visitors Center, Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and Illinois Stewardship Alliance. The result? Eight of Starved Rock Country's best growers have signed on this year to provide chefs from four of your favorite Ottawa restaurants with all the fresh produce they need to craft some unique and delectable menu items.
