I, myself, tried THE MIXED BAG - alberta pork kimchi dumplings, wasabi pork sui mai, chicken and vegetable dumplings, all the sauces...it was fun to mix and match the dumplings with all the 4 sauces. The dumplings were full of the filling and perfectly steamed. My friends had the SPICY CHICKEN BURGER - crispy alberta chicken, le fournil + BLAKE co-lab chili sesame milk bun, teriyaki, garlic mayo, iceberg, japanese curry hot sauce, sweet and spicy chips, the GINGER BEEF DUMPLING SOUP broth, red pepper, scallion, compressed celery with a side of CORNBREAD WAFFLES - hot honey, organic butter, coal salt, and the RETURN OF THE MAC "craft dinner" rotating pasta, craft beer, bacon, peas, cheddar, parm, quebec cheese curds, umami ketchup. Everyone was happy with their dishes, and I would go back again to try more. The reason why it lost a star was it took a long time initially to get a server to get us menus and our drinks, other than that it was spot on with food.

They also had a variety of seasonings from truffle salt to dill pickle seasoning. They even had some fresh popcorn samples out made with their butter oil and truffle salt!

Prices are quite reasonable for the quality and selection. Lets just say we weren't planning on checking in luggage on the way home, but after a stop here, we decided it'd be worth to check one in! We basically tried all the olive oils, the white vinegars and black vinegars. I didn't know that the vinegars could be added to soda water to make light summer refreshments! Each of these also had a recipe card to refer to so you get inspiration too. Staff was really helpful and probably quite amused by how excited we were to learn and try all the different products. It was clean and a comfortable environment so we didn't feel rushed or pressured to buy anything, but we genuinely wanted to bring home so many flavours and different types of products. Definitely recommend at least popping in to see what catches your eye!
