    Knifewear is the most amazing knife shop I have been to. The selection here is good as they carries knives at different price point. The best part is you can even try out some of the knives before making a purchase! Slice, Chop, Dice Not too easy to make a decision and so many different knives for different purposes. But the staff here is knowledgeable and can answer all your questions! If you are into knives and want to improve your knife skill, come to Knifewear! Trust me, a good knife does makes prepping and cooking a lot more fun!

    Part of the selection.

    The Ottawa Knifewear team provides exceptional customer support. The business is one that I will not hesitate to patronize in the future.

    As indicated by the sign, this store is family owned and operated, which is I absolutely…read moreappreciate. They sell a bunch of different kitchenware items, from knives, to pots and pans, to salt and pepper shakers, cutting boards, and other small items. They don't really have a wide selection, though. They only carry two brands of knives - Henckels and Wusthof. The store is way overpriced! And I don't mean just certain items, I mean the whole store. A small, metal tea strainer was $6 and a wooden spoon was $8, and it was made with porous wood, which is low quality. The space is also quite crowded, though this might be because of the liquidation sale they're currently having. But if they're having this huge sale, why were the prices so much higher than they should have been, ESPECIALLY during a liquidation?! I visited the store with my brother, who is a cook at a fine dining French restaurant in Toronto. He was unimpressed with their selection and prices as well, even for a small store, so I know it wasn't just me that thought so.

    I went to the Cookware Centre to purchase a knife set that no one else in Ottawa seemed to sell for…read moremy sister for Christmas. The Ex Boyfriend knife set to be exact. For being a display model it seemed overpriced but I bought it anyways. The gentleman put it in a similar box to what it came in and promptly ripped the box to make everything fit. I brought it home and examined it more closely to notice that one of the rubber pegs to make sure it doesn't slide off the counter was missing and my husband saw that it was scratched. I brought it back to the store to get a refund seeing as how it was the last one and the response I got from them was that all of the knife sets come scratched whether they are new or display and that they would only give me a store credit. I responded with that even though it was damanged they wouldnt give me my money back and that even though they gave me a $10 discount for the box being ripped they still wouldn't budge as its store policy. I paid $150 for this knife set. This store seems like a rip off to me. Now Im stuck with a store cedit and nothing in the store I want to buy. So unless you are positive you NEED something from this store and triple check to make sure it's not damaned, I would not shop there.

    Chef's Depot sells food and supplies for restaurants and caterers but it's open to the public. It's…read morea bit like a Costco Business Centre, but no membership needed. I like that in addition to huge items such as 50 pound bags of flour, they have normal sized items too, like 355ml bottles of sauces, and you can buy just 1 bottle, you don't have to buy a case, lol. They had Torani syrups for $8.98 a bottle (and you can buy just one bottle). They had root beer flavour, which I hadn't seen before. They also had Peach, Pineapple and Strawberry Crush, as well as Strawberries and Cream Dr. Pepper and a few other exotic Dr. Peppers too. Those were $11.99-$12.99 for a case of 12 cans (I wanted to buy just a can of each flavour, but they are only sold by the case and I didn't want 12 cans of the same flavour, lol). They had huge woks and pots that you'd definitely need a commercial kitchen to use. They also had takeout containers, bags, gloves, hairnets, etc. Really cool store. Prices are similar to Costco. It looks like a warehouse, so it's not aesthetically pleasing in there, but I didn't expect it to be. The walk-in freezer freaked me out a bit, what if you walked in and someone locked you in there? I've watched too many episodes of CSI, haha. Anyway, if you always wanted to go to Costco but didn't want to pay the membership fees, you can check out Chef's Depot ;) Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

I Set up there Ottawa location for the company Toronto management very Toxic they give opportunity based off Prejudice personal views first not professional, they talk trash about staff/customer base, other religions, staff members wife's cause of their views no basic respect or gratitude for the business they get, zero safety standard banged my foot there saying don't do "incident reports" they operate a lift u need a license for not having one, will belittle you an take advantage of everything you do giving opportunity or training to people based off prejudice views first and they end up leaving the company its unprofessional joke, just taking advantage of the government kick back on wages by hiring certain people and screwing everyone else. Worked at there Ottawa location for 3 years took over there sales floor changed 90% of it setting up there store for the company, covered an fixed everything all pricing/items not in the system, merchandising issues made that store function for the longest time. Was kept on the side the whole time even when they did the initial change of chemicals I was already doing everything at that point an the Toronto management did the walk with the manager and a buddy of the company who was hired for only a few weeks to help them out, I was working that day ended taking over a day later having to call Toronto management cause the manager told me to call them after that I did the rest of the store pretty much doing everything covering the whole floor, a lot of customer service and all the trucks I unloaded Ambient/freezer even transfers or store maintenance you name it I covered and fixed it all. Having to bud in all the time to help them out for the store to function, I had ask for all my raises and promotion they gave me floor supervisor and found out somebody already had it who knew the owner. I worked 2x to 3x harder compared to everyone else to get that position it was fake found out they would make fun of fact he had that position probably me too when they gave it to me. The floor supervisor position got no training or opportunity in the company got to a point where I called Toronto management to see if I had a actually future in the company, was intentionally verbally attacked with the most ignorant distain and disrespect you could imagine, mocking my position bringing up how that staff member already had the position and it meant nothing just trying to trigger me so he could fire me knowing they brought in others and could take advantage of everything I did instead of getting me involved like I earned and having me there a fair amount of time a week 6/7 days so I could do things properly not being on overdrive for them all the time too keep the store going and being takin advantage of. Immediately after that Toronto management put staff in departments to push me out brought in staff from Toronto also, when he brought in the first one they walked in an I was walking out to do something he starred me down with the most pathetic look you could imagine like you're screwed looking at a angle so the new staff couldn't see, even after all that I still finished the rest of the theme/setups I had planned and helped the new Manager fix all the main inventory problems that were in the system he was forced into the situation I don't blame him. Made multiple HR complaints all got ignore they just condone what the management does and protects them, no safety standard either company is very bias there's no earning you way.
