I'd be lying if I said I don't have a jonesing for their meat pie once a week. I'm so thankful they…read morehave a retail location! I first came across the company in a British store I visited. The store was out of meat pies, but they had some from this company. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I decided to grab two. I ended up picking up Beef 'n Beer and Braised beef rib. From the moment I brought it home, put my oven on and let the cooking process happen, it was life-changing. The flavour of the Beef 'n Beer is my absolute favourite, and I was jonesing so much I had to find more. Thankfully, they have a retail store! I visited the location when it was just before a holiday, and I was fortunate to try the limited-edition Thanksgiving pie. That pie wasn't my favourite, but it was still good. The best pies so far (There are multiple flavours to choose from) are the Beef n Beer and the Braised beef is pretty good. I found the peppercorn pie to be overpowering if you don't really like peppercorns. It's a delicious place you must put on your list to try

Love this company and their new location on Oxford expands their menu offerings which just gives…read moreyou more to love. The new location is certainly dofferent than their previous locations that were definitely harder to see and find if you were not in the know, compared to the easily visible from the Gardiner Expressway location now. As you enter your nose is hit with the intoxicating buttery pastry baking aromas and you are instantly hungrier. Your eyes then catch up as you start to see all the offerings in the cooked and ready to eat display cases. Along with their favourite savoury fillings they have added sweet and baked goods and even self service salads. A gem in the area, I hope they have continued success and are a long term staple for the neighbourhood. If you atr within the GTA make the drive, you will not be disappointed. Yum-o!

The restaurant was quite busy but service was relatively fast regardless of that. The restaurant has the feel of a traditional Izakaya/bar. We ordered an assortment of meats and some side dishes: Pork marinated shoulder butt 21.99 * favourite! Seasoned chicken thighs 21.99 Black tiger shrimp 11.99 Marinated chuck flap tail 26.99 *Rank 2 Freshly cooked kettle pot rice with sauteed mushrooms 18.99 1 steamed rice $3 The rice with mushrooms was the surprise of the evening.

The restaurant is pretty small/cozy on the inside, with only a handful of tables. When I walked in, I was overcome with the delicious scent of freshly fried dough and was greeted by a lovely staff member who helped me navigate the menu. They are all paperless so I had to pull up the menu from online, but they also had a rotating screen with menu items. I was curious to try a few different options so I went with the shredded beef epanada (1 order comes with 2 large empanadas), chicken empanada (again 1 order comes with 2) and 1 large beef poblano empanada which is huge and filled with beans, beef, and plantain. It took about 10mins to make everything and while I was waiting I was offered a free coffee, which was delicious! The vibe is so friendly, welcoming and staff are extremely kind...and to top if off everything was delicious!! Only reason I gave 4 stars is bc it's kinda pricey- each empanada averaged out to about $7-8 and the large one was about $12. All in all I spent almost $50 for lunch for 2 people. I'm not saying it's not worth it, it definitely is, I was just surprised by the price (I'm not even sure what the going price for empanadas since it was my first exposure in Toronto!) If you're in the area give it a try!

This is where they have a full bakery section (treats,…read morecoffee/tea, fresh bread), deli section, sandwich area (can heat it up if needed), food to go (salads, charcuterie boxes, etc), frozen meals (frozen desserts too), a eating area, and a food truck (grilled cheese, poutine, etc). The "Factory" a few wdoors down is the grocery store. I've never been disappointed by any of their sandwiches - bread and ingredients always fresh and tasty, and portions are large (I could never finish them in 1 sitting), and the price was very reasonable. The baked goods are priced even better - similar pastries at other stores are usually more expensive, yet these ones were just as good. The brisket poutine is HUGE and the brisket was delicious - just wish there was more cheese. Service is friendly overall, but they take their time with each order. Lots of seating, but parking situation is not good, and public transport is not convenient - we just ubered here the several times we went.

Holy Perogy! I loved every perogy that I got from this place…read more I was in the area a few Saturdays ago. I needed to pick up some takeout for dinner. I did a search on my Uber Eats app and found this store. It was offering a BOGO deal on a couple of savoury perogies meals. Bacon or truffle mushroom perogies? It was a tough decision. I love both. I caved and went with the latter. You have the option of choosing what filling you want in your perogies. I went classic and chose cheddar potato. I also got dessert perogies. The apple pie ones intrigued me. I got an estimated time of twenty minutes for my order to be completed. I took my time getting there. This eatery is on the southwest corner of The Queensway and Consol. The latter is interesting in that it's a u-shaped street. You basically drive all the way down the east part of u-shaped Consol until you can't drive anymore. You'll see Holy Perogy! I backed into a spot and walked in. I was the only customer in the store. A friendly man greeted me. I let him know that I had an Uber Eats order. He first thought that I was a driver for Uber Eats. I'm not sure why. Maybe I look casual enough to be one? If you are a food app driver, you need to bring your insulated bag with you. Otherwise, this store won't give you any order. It prides itself on having hot food staying hot. Since I was a hungry customer who had ordered food, he gave me my order and apologized for the mix-up. It was all good. I thanked him and headed to my car with my order. I, too, have insulated bags in my car. I placed my food in one of them and drove home. I then enjoyed one of the truffled mushroom perogies meals that night with the apple pie ones. I had the second mushroom one the following night. I highly recommend the truffled mushroom perogies if you are a huge mushroom lover. They were delicious. This place didn't skimp on the mushrooms. You could taste the truffle oil. It wasn't overpowering. It was perfect. The cheddar potato perogies were so good with the mushrooms and the creamy sauce. I loved the green onions on top. It was a filling meal. I'd get it again. I had the second container of mushroom perogies the following day. They heated up well and tasted equally as yummy. Dessert perogies? Yes, please! The apple pie perogies were outstanding. The apple pie filling was yummy with a hint of sweetness. I loved the cinnamon with the cubed apples in every bite. It had the right amount of caramel drizzled on each one. So good! This place was a great find on Uber Eats. I need to head back for more. It's not too far from my workplace, so I see myself coming over here after work or when I'm in the area. (446)

I love that there is a chef who creates all of the flavours and captures the essence of each flavour as well. I tried the truffle (which was my favourite), jerk chicken and Thai curry. I was actually really pleased with the Thai curry sauce since it was really flavourful and tasted authentic. You must also try to jerk chicken since it is the chef's signature dish! I love that the perogies themselves are vegan and can still be vegan depending on the sauces and toppings you out on. Highly recommend and since these babies are dense, you and a friend should order different flavours and share!

Theres another Korean restaurant that I used to love that's in the area, but wanted to check out…read moreanother place so we ended up at Insadong. Menu has very typical Korean offerings such as pork bone soup, japchae, seafood pancake etc. I saw many people ordering the army stew which made my mouth water, but with kids, can't order anything too spicy. We ended up with bibimbap (not dolsot), rice cake dumpling soup (beef broth), pork bone soup, and seafood pancake). Flavours of everything was good, nothing really stood out. Servers/waitresses very nice and friendly. They brought over kid sized utensils without us asking. We didn't ask also because we tend to bring our own for the kids. Banchan was limited, only kimchi, pickled daikon and carrots, and potato. But unfortunately later on in the night i started getting quite thirsty so that's usually a sign of MSG. Personal issue as i tend to be more sensitive to MSG than others. Next morning woke up with swollen fingers and face as well due to the MSG. So if you are sensitive, you might want to avoid Insadong.

I can't say I was familiar with panuozzo before stopping into Crudo, but given our positive…read moreexperience there, you can consider me a convert. We decided to start with the Bruschetta ("Freshly Baked Bread Topped With Tomatoes"), and it's a solid appetizer. It's basically a very tasty dough covered in well-seasoned, fresh-tasting tomatoes. It's good. It in no way prepared me for the next-levelness of our main. We opted for the Mortadella Panuozzo ("Mortadella, Cream Of Pistachio, Stracciatella"). I took one bite and I was immediately blown away. All the flavors work so well together, and that super fresh panuozzo ties the sandwich together perfectly. Immediately after leaving the restaurant, my dining companion looked at me and asked if I was as bowled over as he was. We both agreed it was one of the best sandwiches we'd ever eaten. It's crazy. They know what they're doing at Crudo, that's for sure. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings (although let's be real, I'll probably get that Mortadella panuozzo every time I return.)
