Naagan, which in Ojibwa means “dish”, is an intimate, 17 seat restaurant in the heart of Owen Sound, Ontario.

The space is so much more than a place for people to get a good meal; it is a space that brings together art, education, and incredible food that showcases hyper-local abundance and beauty.

If we have not foraged or grown the food ourselves, then we make sure we are sourcing our ingredients from local farmers, fishers, or hunters.

Ingredients such as vanilla or lemon are never used and are replaced by more local flavours, like sweetgrass and sea buckthorn.

Being in such close relations with Mother Earth means that our menu changes with her cycles. 

 

We are so used to being able to go out and eat French food, Italian food, and Chinese food. We believe that Aboriginal cuisine should be right up there with what everybody else is doing and we are passionate about putting this type of food on the map.

Traditional Indigenous culture has deep roots in community and partnering with the land. We feel extremely honoured to be able to share that with people through our 12 course dinners at Naagan.
