Why This Spot Stands Out
If you know me, you know that I love a good charcuterie board. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a cozy holiday gathering, or just a Tuesday night that needs a little extra sparkle, I am usually found hovering over a marble slab, meticulously placing slices of prosciutto and debating the perfect placement for a sprig of rosemary. Because I love the craft of building a board so much, I have a very deep appreciation for people who do it well—and let me tell you, BitesonBoards doesn’t just do it well; they do it with a level of artistry that is truly impressive.
About BitesonBoards
BitesonBoards is a premier food catering business based out of the vibrant community of Barrhaven, Ontario. Specializing in the art of the “graze,” this local gem has built a reputation for creating stunning, hand-crafted charcuterie boards, boxes, and cups that serve as the centerpiece for any occasion. They serve the greater Ottawa area, bringing a touch of gourmet elegance to events ranging from intimate date nights to large-scale corporate functions. With a focus on fresh ingredients and breathtaking presentation, BitesonBoards has mastered the balance between aesthetic beauty and delicious, high-quality fare.
The Experience
Stepping into the world of BitesonBoards (even if it’s just through their incredible social media gallery) is a masterclass in food styling. What strikes me most as a fellow charcuterie enthusiast is the sheer labor of love that goes into every arrangement. You can tell that nothing is placed at random. There is a thoughtful intentionality behind every fold of salami and every cluster of grapes. For anyone in Ottawa looking to host an event, the experience of working with them takes the stress out of hosting. Instead of worrying about the grocery run and the prep work, you get to present your guests with a literal work of edible art that is guaranteed to be the talk of the party.
Why You Should Go
If you are looking to elevate your next gathering, here is why BitesonBoards should be at the top of your list:
Unrivaled Attention to Detail: They have an incredible ability to tailor their boards to your specific theme. Whether you are celebrating a graduation, a milestone birthday, or a specific holiday, they customize the look and feel to match your vision perfectly.
Inclusivity for Every Guest: One of the most impressive things about their service is their commitment to dietary needs. They offer Halal, Vegan, and Gluten-Free boards, ensuring that everyone at your event can dig in safely and happily.
Versatile Serving Options: They don’t just stop at big boards! For more mobile gatherings, they offer adorable charcuterie cups, which are perfect for mingling.
A Cure for the Sweet Tooth: Not a fan of savory? No problem. They offer dedicated Sweet Tooth boards packed with sugary treats for those who prefer dessert over brie.
Learn from the Best: They aren’t just selling boards; they are sharing the craft! They are hosting a Valentine’s Charcuterie Board Workshop on February 7th, which is a perfect opportunity to learn their tips and tricks so you can impress your own loved ones on Valentine’s Day.
In a city with a lot of catering options, BitesonBoards stands out because of the passion and precision they bring to the table—literally. Whether you are a charcuterie lover like me who appreciates the fine details, or a busy host who wants to provide a “wow” factor without the kitchen stress, this Barrhaven-based business is a local treasure worth supporting. Their ability to cater to diverse dietary needs while maintaining a high-end aesthetic is exactly what the Ottawa food scene needs.
