The menu is a book (not an exaggeration) of options from BBQ meats and sausage to "melt in your mouth" fish and the best peri peri chicken I've ever had!

Tell me the last time you could cut a piece of BBQ steak with a plastic knife! So soft and amazing marinade! We honestly tried to find something we didn't like and we couldn't.

A decent selection of Cadbury chocolate straight from England (if you've ever had it, you know the crap we get over here just doesn't compare). And it's not even that expensive! I don't know how the owner charges so little, but I'm not complaining. Not only that, but they had those Walker's Crisps in all their crazy flavours (like Steak! And Curry! And Roast Chicken!).

We walked in and I was immediately impressed by how vast and spotless the place was. This is one enormous place. There's a ton of seating in the main area, and if that's not enough, there's a whole other seating area around the corner. Everything looked really tasty but we decided to try a couple of savory pastries, both of which were delicious and fresh. For my drink, I went with the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew ("Cold brew coffee with vanilla and topped with sweet cream"), which certainly quenched my thirst and need for a pick-me-up. I want to single out the staff, too. Everybody was super friendly and helpful, and the manager even stopped by our table and offered our daughter a complimentary bear-shaped madeleine. Paris Baguette is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. We'll definitely be returning.

They have deli sandwiches in their fridge and the Harvest Chicken sandwich was delicious. The Mochi donuts are a good atyempt and mimicing their asian counterparts but was way too greasy. The traditional sugared twist was better. They also have full barista services and lots of seating. Great place to pick up something for a dinner party as they have lovely boxes and present well. Staff was very friendly. Prices are steeper than other local bakeries so keep this in mind.

They sell fresh and frozen meats, groceries, candles, perfumes, and more. The café itself is laptop friendly with outlets available, and there's also a prayer room. My only complaint is that the seating is a bit too tight. There are a lot of tables and chairs packed into the space, which makes it difficult to move around comfortably. The drinks have been the highlight for me. The Iced Spanish Latte was my favorite (9/10), followed by the Iced Biscoff Latte (8/10). I also tried the peach sparkling lemonade. It was refreshing, but it tasted more like a fruit punch than a lemonade because the lemonade flavor didn't come through as much (7/10). For pastries, I tried the Dubai cookie and the Dubai croissant. Unfortunately, neither was a favorite. The cookie had more of a cake batter flavor, and the croissant just didn't quite come together for me. I'd give both a 5/10. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks.

Coming from anyone who hates anything to do with raw meat, this is hands down the best place to get…read moreyour meats from and the one place that got me OK to deal with any raw meats. The butcher is so clean and the meat quality is evident. It is the ONLY butcher I trust to get any of my meats and chicken. I have tried their steaks, chicken and lamb and loved every single one. The quality is evident in the taste when you try it, but the best part has to be the cleanliness of the meats. I never see a single drop of blood in my meats and I find it so clean and nice. You get what you paid for and the customer service is excellent. We accidentally arrived 5-10 minutes after closing the other day and the team was still willing to accommodate and give us our order, which was so kind from their end. No surprise there as anything by Masrawy is the best, whether it's the food at the restaurant, the Local Cafe and market or the butcher shop. I'm so glad this butcher shop has opened and you'll definitely see me here as a regular customer. They don't compromise on quality!

For all you seafood lovers in the west end, don't even bother going downtown or into any Asian…read moresupermarket to buy fresh fish because this is your place. I'm so with Liz B. on this one - I will never buy seafood anywhere else. The store is a pretty decent size, very, very clean and does NOT smell like fish. The servers are so polite and helpful and I noticed all the patrons were civilized; there was no pushing, shoving or yelling; everyone just politely waited their turn. They have another store in St. Lawrence Market which we've been to on numerous occasions but, being from Etobicoke and all the closures on the Gardiner, this is far more convenient. It's on Vansco, a side street that runs off North Queen but, for those of you who aren't too familiar with the area, you can catch it off the Queensway (very close to IKEA). I could see this being convenient for those of you in east Mississauga. You won't have trouble with parking as they have a private lot. I paid with debit but I'm sure they accept most major credit cards. They have frozen shrimp, scallops, lobster tails, etc. in all sizes. I also recall seeing cans of crabmeat and smoked salmon as well. As for the fresh fish, there was sea bass, grouper, catfish, swordfish, sole, tuna, etc. - lots to choose from. The tuna looked like it was sushi grade. They also had an array of fresh shell fish as well such as oysters, mussels, huge scallops and shrimp. For the pre-made food, some of the selections were stuffed sole, some awesome looking crab-stuffed calamari and I saw a stuffed salmon (very similar looking to what Costco sells). They also have specialty groceries on a separate side but I was on my lunch break so I didn't have too much time on my hands to browse. Anyway, I bought six calamari tubes with a whole bunch of tentacles for $10.25 and six large, fresh shrimp for $3.95 - great deal!
