BDSM and kink munches in Ottawa

Ottawa straddles two provinces, and so does its scene — several events happen on the Gatineau side. It is quieter than Montréal’s or Toronto’s, and travels largely by word of mouth at munches.

A munch is a get-together in a public place. A bar, a restaurant, sometimes a park in summer. People eat and talk, and that is all of it: no play, no nudity, nothing resembling a party. It is the easiest way to meet people from the scene when you know nobody, which is why most people start here.
