OTTAWA – The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) today announced an exciting and breakthrough food and hospitality partnership with Levy Restaurants, an alliance that will enhance the fan experience at TD Place at Lansdowne. The announcement was made at a tasting event held in the Canadian Museum of Nature where Levy showcased some of the items that will be available at TD Place.
Recognized as the leader in premium sports and entertainment dining, Levy Restaurants will provide exceptional food and beverage experiences for all major events at TD Place at Lansdowne, including games of the Ottawa REDBLACKS (Canadian Football League), Ottawa Fury FC (North American Soccer League), Ottawa 67`s (Ontario Hockey League) and all concerts and other events.
“Our objective is to provide fans and other guests at TD Place with the best possible food and beverage experience and we know that’s what Levy Restaurants will deliver,” said OSEG CEO Bernie Ashe. “In addition, Levy is committed to wowing fans with tremendous customer service. In that, we share a common objective and that’s to exceed the expectations of our visitors.”
“We are all about making the event day great for families and we love OSEG’s passion for fans,” said Andy Lansing, President and CEO of Levy Restaurants. “We are thrilled to partner on the transformation of Lansdowne and we look forward to working with local purveyors and restaurants to celebrate the flavors of Ottawa and give a warm welcome to guests in new facility.”
Levy Restaurants was chosen as the food and beverage partner at TD Place following an extensive process in which OSEG representatives visited and researched sports venues across North America before inviting a select group of candidates to visit Ottawa and the Outaouais, gain a sense of the region’s taste preferences and culture, and then present ideas for providing guests with an exceptional culinary experience.
The tasting event featured a range of food selections that will be available at TD Place including the REDBLACKS Dog-a premium hot dog topped with 14-hour smoked brisket, St-Albert Grilled Cheese &; Tomato Basil Soup, Barbecued Rib and Duck Wing Combo Platter and Lobster Mac and Cheese. A complete list of menu items for TD Place will be released at a future date.
