Visitor Reviews

  • The Dandelion Festival

    The food at the Dandelion Festival was excellent. We loved the local and sustainable meat from the Branch Restaurant – affordable and delicious. The cookies and cinnamon buns were also excellent. There was so much to experience, and so reasonable in price as well, without any hassle or crowds or line-ups. Thanks!Paul Csagoly, Ottawa, May 2013
