European Delight, located in the lower level of St. Lawrence Market, is one of my favourite vendors to get grab-and-go items whenever I'm in the area. They offer a wide selection of Polish and Eastern European classics such as pierogies (what they're famously known for), latkes (they offer both classic plain latkes, and with toppings such as smoked salmon, cream cheese / sour cream, dill, mushrooms, etc.), blintzes (they have both savoury and sweet kinds), cabbage rolls (both with beef and vegetarian version), Eastern European-style burgers, various dips, and more. My favourites are their spinach & mushroom blintz, potato & cheddar cheese pierogies, grilled vegetables, whole eggplant with various toppings, and portobello mushroom cap topped with lentils, beans, and vegetables. They sell pierogies in different formats: frozen (in big bags / batches), cooked but chilled (by the dozen), and cooked, heated, and ready to eat (with onions and sour cream if you'd like). I find the "cooked, heated, and ready to eat" version to be a bit too oily for my liking, so I usually get the "cooked but chilled" version (you get more of it too) and just heat the pierogies up at home.
This shop is absolutely fantastic. I had lunch here on a recent trip to the St. Lawrence Market. It was nice to be able to eat authentic European cuisine. The shop owners are very friendly. I had the spinach and mushroom blintz, which was excellent and served with cream cheese on top. I also tried the potato latke served with salmon, fresh dill, and cream cheese on top, which was also delicious. The last item I tried was the vegetable samosa. The curry in there was perfect and the heat was brought, but in good quantity. All of the above mentioned, plus a bottle of Perrier was $10 and some change. There were so many items for sale that looked delicious, so do stop here and look for yourself. There were also some great looking pierogis and soups.
Everything looked delicious and they had a ton of variety. There are sweet/savoury/meat/vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone. If you're not looking for something to eat right then and there, you can get frozen food. Everything is made fresh though, so even if you're taking them home, they're good in the fridge for about 3/4 days. We bought cabbage rolls and sauerkraut. The cabbage rolls come with extra sauce on the side which is very yummy!
Can't write review. Too full! Being of Ashkenazi Jewish descent I know a thing or two about the hearty peasant foods of Eastern Europe. This place, hidden in the middle of the basement at St Lawrence market, its easy to walk by. If you happen in you will see every hard working golden age ladies Manning the microwaves and dishing out plate after plate of perogoies, cabbage rolls and other dishes of the region. Its no frills service and the microwave may heat some things unevenly but who cares! 6 perogoies are like 2.75. A cabbage roll is $4. I paid with a $10 @nd got change back. This food sticks to your ribs and you won't go away hungry.
I stopped by for some perogies the other day. They were amazing! I got 6 potato cheddar and 6 veal perogies. It's St. Lawrence Market after all, so it's not fancy by any means. Initially, I was a bit disheartened that they were served up on styrofoam plates and reheated in the microwave. However, that quickly changed after taking my first bite into the perogie. The shell was the perfect texture, not too soft or hard. Both the veal and the potato cheddar stuffing were surprisingly flavorful. I'm by no means a perogi expert, but these are definitely some of the best perogies i've ever had. I preferred the veal perogies. Initially I bought these to share, but by the time I found my compatriots, they were already half gone. It's quite the value at 6 for $2.50 and 12 for $4. Anyone passing by The St. Lawrence Market should check out European Delight. I'll definitely be back to try their other eats.
European Delight is located in the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto. European Delight is advertised as an Ukrainian and Polish cafe, but they really offer some other products that aren't normally consumed by those cultures (e.g. schnitzel, borek). Every time I visit the St. Lawrence Market, I stop here because their pierogis are absolutely fantastic. They offer a large variety of both sweet and savoury pierogis...everything from strawberry to veal. Just be aware that if you are buying them fresh, then you can only buy them in groups of 6. I highly suggest trying as many as possible. If there are two of you, then you can easily eat 12. You can buy them frozen as well and take them home. Also, make sure that you ask for sour cream on top! The store offers takeout of both fresh, frozen, and canned products. They have a large variety of food, such as cabbage rolls, blintz, stuffed mushrooms, and stuffed eggplant. This past visit we had the stuffed mushroom, stuffed eggplant, and veal pierogis. The stuffed eggplant was phenomenal. The eggplant was super soft and filled with dill, cheese, and tomatoes. The pierogis were very juicy and filling. I highly recommend both. Overall, this is a place to try in the market! I highly recommend their pierogis and exploring other items that they offer.
This place is almost like a secret gem in the St. Lawrence Market. I came by here for lunch one cold January day and it was quiet, but I knew they were good. I ordered a cabbage roll that had beef and rice inside for about $5 - what a steal! It was pretty tasty, but not 4-star quality. The rice and beef was very nicely spiced but the cabbage was a bit tough to eat with the plastic utensils. I think next time I'd try the perogies instead. I'd give them another go. There's lots to pick from in terms of selection. Tip: they are located downstairs/lower level. If you see the Italian place (meat sandwiches), walk right. If you see a Greek restaurant, you've accidentally walked left. Tip 2: Cash and VISA accepted. Tip 3: Everything in their counter can be heated up, just ask.
We came across European Delight while walking through the St. Lawrence Market. My wife is daughter of Russian parents and was raised eating many of the foods they make from scratch. She was very excited and ordered several items, we ended up ordering more perogies as they were so good my family resembled a piranhas feeding frenzy.
Awful. It's just AWFUL! I can't go LOWER than a 1 Star, and that is too much. The food looks good until they put it in the MICROWAVE. I had a chicken schnitzel and couldn't eat the piece. The chicken inside the crust was DRY, DRY and DRY. It was obviously overcooked the 1st time and using a microwave to warm it didn't help. We ordered 12 perogie, 6 potato & cheese and 6 veal. They heated them all together and then dumped them in a container together. I don't eat veal (those were for hubs) so I had to separate them. The potato & cheese were orange inside. I don't mean peach or light orange, I mean WTH did they put in his to make it turn orange, orange. Hubs had the beef & rice cabbage roll and was very disappointed. We know authentic and Americanized Eastern European dishes and these are just BAD! The flimsy plastic utensils didn't help either. WHAT*A*WASTE.
I haven't had perogies this good since my Polish ex-boyfriend 's mother used to take over my kitchen for an entire weekend to make them from scratch. (His name was Bartek, big muscles, small brain) I have been eating at European Delight for the past three Saturdays spent at the St Lawrence Market. (Perogies ARE a breakfast food, damn you!) They have so many things here and everything I've tried is delicious. The cabbage rolls are $3.75 and are giant. They have both meat and vegetarian varieties. One roll fills a whole plate. You can take it home or they will heat it up, add some tasty tomato sauce and you can eat it right there. The perogies cost $2.50 for 6 or $4 for a dozen, you can also buy bags of 50 frozen for $10. European Delight also has potato latkes, apple dumplings, spinach and cheese dumplings, schnitzels and all sorts of fresh made salads you can purchase by weight. The service is always really friendly. I'm surprised this booth is not as busy as some others in the market, because it's AMAZING.
The most amazing perogies that I have ever put in my mouth. This Ukrainian couple serves a variety of perogies and even offers a value of 50 frozen perogies for $10. Additionally, they serve knish, cabbage rolls, latkes, lasagna and so much more. Six hot, perfectly prepared perogies with sour cream for $2.50. They were so good I went back for seconds and then thirds. This is truly a hidden treasure in Toronto and if you have not been then you are missing out.
I found an Eastern European food stand located in the basement of St. Lawrence Market, close to the public washrooms. It's probably a tourist trap but until I find another this is my go to place for now. They serve a wide selection of comfort dishes at reasonable prices from pierogi, knish, latke, cabbage rolls & blintzes just to name a few. I sampled their pierogi, potato & cheese, and they were filling for a light breakfast. It's served with a dollop of sour cream if you want but at home I usually put ranch dressing on it. I know I'm weird. They also make veal pierogi or pelmeni as they're known in Russia and dessert pierogi, which I may sample later today maybe. Definitely a place to check out whenever you're visiting the Market.
6/24/15: Came here as part of a food tour, and so we tried a ton of stuff here. With everything we had unfortunately I can't remember too much of this place, but I guess that's the point. 1. Pierogi: So, I don't remember the exact flavor we had, except that it had potato in it. I do remember it was somewhat bland, and I was happy to try it to say I finally have, but it's not anything exciting to eat. Maybe if we tried one of the ones with more meat I'd be happier, but as it is I'd say it was the equivalent of eating home-refried/baked frozen fries. Sorta. 5/10. Maybe their other stuff is better, but I didn't try so I wouldn't know. But just based on their pierogi, I don't see anything special here. 3/5 #canada #pierogi #polish #ukrainian
"Delight" applies not only to the food but also to the staff. We enjoyed scrumptious cabbage rolls as well as the dish below, the name of which escapes us now, unfortunately. Food was fresh, plentiful, perfectly seasoned, inexpensive...look forward to returning. read more
Perfect for quick, grab-and-go and quality perogies. A small vendor located on the ground floor @ st. Lawrence Market. The store front had a glass display case with a variety of eastern European food such as cabbage rolls, perogies, latkes, blintzes etc with variety of filings. I was here for their perogies. I wished that they had mushroom & sauerkraut perogies but there was none available for grab-and-go. So I got lamb perogies. But I found packages of fresh perogies to cook at home, so I got mushroom & sauerkraut and cheddar & jalapeno perogies. Lamb perogies were yummy! Size was small, but I loved their wrappers. No rubbery-ness, with nice wheat / glutenin chewiness and homey flavor. This wrapper was so promising - whatever is wrapped in this wrapper, it should be yummy! Yes, the fresh perogies that I cooked at home were both great. I personally liked cheddar & jalapeno one over the sauerkraut one. Prices are reasonable for their delicious food. :) Next time I will buy frozen perogies - want to enjoy their good-quality perogies at home! read more

What I had: pierogies (6 pcs) $5.25 Taste: 4/5 These pierogies were pretty nice. The wrapper was al dente and the filling was flavourful. It was my first time having it with sour cream and they went pretty well together. Vibe: 3.5/5 Small, clean and modest. Service: 4/5 The staff were pretty friendly. read more

Looking for a savory snack brought us to this stall out of the many offerings in the building. For $2.90 after tax, you get 6 cheese and potato or veal perogies heated up with a dollop of sour cream on top. I opted for the cheese and potato for the maximum comfort-food factor. The little dough pouches of carbs and cheddar had obviously been previously fried with onions, each shiny with oil and they slipped around the styrofoam container freely. I liked that you can actually taste the cheese in the filling and the smoothly mashed potato is great next to the slightly chewy texture of the dough. Definitely will keep this place in mind and try out their other offerings the next time. Great service also, really patient in explaining what choices there are for you to pick from. Quick, greasy and cheap savory comfort food!! read more
The first I passed by this place, the oblong shapped fried food on display could not keep me from wanting to move away. There are also a bunch of other equally delicious looking dishes on display such perogies, chicken dishes, chicken meatballs and beef meatballs, latkes, blintz and creamy salads. As well, there are other prepared foods to check out here. I love quaintly shaped fried food and some of the items on display at this store reminded of Croquettes so I took home a potato knish and a triangle shaped spinach blintz. I had a comforting Eastern-European dinner that evening. On my second trip I decided to get four different items, consisting of a spinach and mushroom Blintz, a cheese Blintz, a potato Latke, and a meat Knish. I had the potato Latke that evening and it was good. I had the other three items for brunch the next day and I really liked the spinach blintz and the meat knish. European Delight is another store at St. Lawrence Market where you can get a quick, convenient meal that gives you a small introduction to some Eastern European comfort foods. Next time I get something from here, I'll be trying their perogies and the meatballs. read more
One of my favourite go-tos when visiting St Lawrence Market. Reasonably priced, no frills Eastern European cuisine. We often go for the cheddar and potato pirogies, but also enjoy their cabbage roles, blintzes, and knishes. Good to take home or you can eat it there on styrofoam plates (if you can find a spot to sit nearby!) Worth checking out for sure. read more
Great stall downstairs in St.Lawrence market selling a large selection on Eastern European food . The people on the stall are very patient and don't mind explaining about the different food items on sale. I went for the cheese Knish,Hungarian stuffed cabbage, latkes and Russian potato salad,they heated everything apart from the salad . It was very tasty and filling well worth trying. read more

As I was walking to find a place to eat, I stumbled onto a woman eating pierogis and tapped her on the shoulder to ask her where she got them because they looked great. She stared up and me and said... down the hall. They are AMAZING and so cheap, too. I found out she wasn't kidding. For a little over 4 bucks, you get 12 handmade pierogi that are fantastic. While the veal was yummy, it was the potato and cheese that really knocked it out of the park, and I consider myself to be a pierogi snob. I could have eaten 30 of them. Just one warning: they aren't light on the grease. But with pierogis that good, who cares. read more

We had stared with just having the perogies. But then we had to go back to to try the stuffed mushroom and spinach and mushroom blintz. Everything has a lot of great flavours. Not sure if it's made same day because they heat in microwave before serving. But otherwise good. read more
