I go here for lunch everyday since I work upstairs in the mall… the prepared foods have been getting pretty crappy.. I purchased a chicken stir fry and I got literally no chicken in it and a massive clump of shredded ginger… lol the picture attached is of the clump of ginger.. not a single piece of chicken… for 8.99 that sucks…

Very nice tellers. Visit Ottawa often and stay at places with kitchens downtown, so have gone here often. Every time and every teller I receive extra help when I need it when asking about a purchase. Also, great and mostly healthy selection of ready made meals. Seems like all Farm Boy employees are pretty happy about there jobs. Good employers make good employees.

Compared to other Farm Boy stores, this is a smaller one within Rideau centre. They have fresh quality produce but variety of vegetables are limited. A lot of Farm Boy labeled packaged food is available to buy. Overall, most products are overpriced.

Farm Boy in Rideau Centre is the place we visit almost every day, and we never get tired of it. We especially love their fresh bread and buns – they’re so delicious that we can’t imagine our mornings without them! The bread is always soft, aromatic, and has that unique taste that makes every breakfast special.

The products at Farm Boy are always of excellent quality. We love how the variety of items inspires new culinary discoveries. Everything we buy here is always fresh and incredibly tasty. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere in the store makes shopping pleasant and convenient.

Farm Boy is a place where quality and taste always come first. We’re glad we found such a store that always meets our expectations and makes every day brighter.

Big supermarket in a centric zone in Ottawa. You can find everything here, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, sweets, bakeries… also you can find hot meals ready to eat! All the products are good quality. Staff is nice also. Prices are quite expensive
