One of the stores at St Lawrence Market. Walking past, I always wondered what fine foods they sold…read more This review is based off of their ready to eat empanadas. It is from a box and you can either buy the packaged box to go or eat one of their ready and heated empanadas. For $4, it was tiny and although tasty, the filling is barely existing. I chose beef and there was barely any meat, mostly just dough. Although understandable this isnt made by the store on site, but rather from a packaged box, sold in fours, and not sure of the cost of that, but hopefully its not 4 x $4 = $16, as it would definitely be a rip. The savoury pastry gets 2 stars from me plus 1 for the nice lady serving the empanada and allowing me to use card to pay. If you want a SMALL snack and really like dough, then maybe try this.

The empanada was very tasty. Service was horrible…read more We stood in front of the empanada stand for 5 minutes while the lady put more food on the grill not even asking us if we wanted anything. We asked if we can get an empanada and she said you have to pay inside. We went inside, paid, and were directed back to the empanada stand by the gentleman behind the cashier. The lady was not back at the empanada stand so we patiently waited for an empanada (there were no other customers at the time). After a few moments, another couple walked in, bought an empanada through the same gentleman, to whom the gentleman then escorted back and served an empanada. We were already taken aback by what happened. However, expected him to then serve us, he removed his glove and proceeded to walk back to the cashier. We had to stop him and ask if he was going to serve us...

They sell premium extra virgin olive oil, infused olive oils, Balsamic vinegars from Italy, pestos, truffle oil, gourmet sea salts, Muskoka maple syrup, and gift sets.

The number of vendors is enormous and the choice of meats - beef, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, you name it they have it. They had food stalls that had 50 person line ups. Lots of great reviews on the web for a number of these places and it didn't matter what you were looking for - fruits, veggies, bread, seafood, sandwiches, soups, homemade pasta..... if it isn't here it hasn't been invented or you don't need it. We loved this place. I wish Ottawa could support something like this.

The layout of the store is very easy to navigate and they are always stocked with everything I'm looking for. Whenever I go, I can't help but purchase items outside of my grocery list because it feels like there's just an endless array of desserts & foods that pique my interest. The checkout line can get long in the evenings, but it moves quite fast. I especially love their bakery and ready-made food section; both very convenient for when I'm looking for something fast and delicious. They sell fresh made $5 sticky rice rolls and jian bing near the entrance, such a steal! There is also a seating area on the ground floor where you can enjoy your food.

They manage to cramp all the inventory into every available space. They even have space for live seafood. I bought some reheatable bao from the hot food section, it was ok. Too much bread. Everything else is good though. Because the store space is so small and location is very popular, you should expect some wait time during checkout.

Food/Drinks: This was our first time in Toronto, and for the first day being there for breakfast,…read morewe decided to stop by this spot. They had such a delicious and massive variety of breads, pastries, and croissants! I got myself a delicious croissant and a coffee, and it was perfect to start my morning! Location: This location is directly ona main street in Toronto. This place is definitely a casual spot to grab and go, or you can sit there as well. Regarding parking, I'm not sure how that works because our hotel was within walking distance, and we decided to walk directly from our hotel, which wasn't far at all. Service: If I could give this place a five-star simply because of the service, I would. As I was taking pictures of the pastries, just being a tourist...you can actually see the man in the background who was so friendly and honestly made us smile with his smile. Unfortunately, I don't recall his name, but he was so kind and helped us out, and it really was just the perfect start to our day.

It was a quick wait, and they were nice enough to swap out the coleslaw on the side for some potato salad (coleslaw is best served by placing it in the trashcan.. don't hate me).

The Pastrami was very good, not fatty at all, a bit greasy overall so next time I would order it with light or no spread.

As far as I know, I have not tried anything fresher than what this place has to offer. Lastly, being that they're located within the tourist belt, you cannot afford to linger. My advice, if unsure, stand aside & observe first, unless it ain't a busy day. Make sure you know what items to try or buy. In & out in ~5 minutes. Enjoy!

Because of its location, it's easy to miss if you don't walk all the way to the back corner at the lower level. They sell a lot of Ukrainian grocery items, along with ready-to-meat hot food items such as cabbage rolls, latkes, and cutlets (they even have fish and vegetarian ones). There is also a Ukrainian version of veggie burger that is okay (pretty big size, made of all plant ingredients). They sell some sweet items as well. The owner is very friendly.

The Ukrainian sausage lady kept pushing the potato latkes on sarah l. and me but we refused. I opted instead for a container of beet salad and some garlicky half-sour pickles that I fished out of the brine. You'll also see other Ukrainian specialties like cabbage rolls, head cheese, breads, and desserts. Most of the stuff is sold by weight so if you're clueless about weight estimation like I am, you could easily spend $14 without really meaning to. But I just had more of the kobassa (with Kozlik's triple crunch mustard!) and the pickles for lunch. Mmm...It was money well spent.
