Today, we bought Appenzeller cheese (Switzerland, which matched perfectly with the cold cuts we got today), Douanier (Quebec, washed and brushed rind), Magie de Madawaska (Quebec, ripe creamy soft cheese with brine-washed rind. It was not too strong). Enjoyed wine with the cheese.

Kyle's Quality Meats also offers some treats for your K9 friends, they have a selection of foods for your dogs if they eat raw. We ending up buying a few spices and sauces as well as some sausage and burgers. The burgers had so much flavour and were so juicy and cooked up well. The blend of spices they put into their meats are unbeatable. We will definitely being going back sometime soon! The staff made our first treat so easy for us and who can beat clean quality meat for such fine prices.

Its obvious that everyone working in this store really cares about the business and their customers - it's always clean and they handle busy times very politely. I only wish I lived closer!

I loved this little cheese shop…read more And now for the least detail oriented review ever. I don't remember at all what cheese I tried. There were three kinds. One was orange and flakey, one had mushrooms in it and another was beige and sharp. I didn't really like them to be honest but that's no fault of La Jolie. I do plan on coming back to this quaint little shop. The man assisting me was so pleasant and knowledgeable. A couple of months ago a girlfriend of mine went in asking for a cheese that she could bring to our wine and cheese party. He suggested the raclette and she used it on a slate burner. It was melty and gooey and yummy. See? No details here cause I can't remember! But I will be back!

Bruno's Signature is still going strong, serving up top notch meats at (sometimes very high)…read moreprices. When I walk into Bruno's, I see a clean and organized deli/butcher, with knowledgeable staff and skilled butchers. Bruno's has an open concept, so you can actually look through a window and watch them chop up your meat. When I walk in, I also see dry-aged prime rib in a special dry-aging compartment. Once I asked about the price, and the reply was, "Do you REALLY want to know??" Ok, fair enough, I was wearing my everyday clothes and probably looked like I couldn't even afford a sausage. I'll get my husband to go in there, on his way home from work, and see if he can buy a single rib Dry Aged Prime Rib for me to prepare for a Mother's Day gift. Meanwhile, I bought something more economical ....but still kind of luxe. I bought an entire striploin on sale. The price was actually only $1 more than No Frills, and I got 12 steaks!! That will certainly last us a while. After laying 3 aside for our evening meal, I tossed the rest in the freezer. That steak is so great, just butter-basted in a skillet with your favourite aromatics. Despite my above anecdote, Bruno's is not a stuck-up or snobby place at all, but just your neighbourhood butcher. And, if you keep an eye on their specials, it is not to pricey at all. However, you can spend a fortune if you aren't aware of reasonable pricing. As grocery store food prices soar upward, Bruno's prices seem to remain relatively static, in a good way, so that it is worth my money to check it out, especially when they have deals or sales. This is your perfect, neighborhood butcher!

Truth be told this place is expensive but fabulous. The owner and her daughter were very nice and offered lots of little samples so could find the perfect cheese to bring home with me.

Farmhouse Artisan Cheese has all that you need for a perfect charcuterie board and more. I tried out the 14 Arpents, Grey Owl, and Brebisrousse. I highly recommend the Brebisrousse cheese as it was creamy, smooth, and mild. If you're looking for something crazy try Grey Owl, it was a creamy and semi mild cheese. The mold on top of the cheese is a little frightening but it kind of tastes like wine in a way. I don't recommend the 14 Arpents as it smells and tastes like a barn lol.

We walked by this establishment and on second passing by, decided to try it. How could you go wrong with a great street musician playing guitar and violin across the street. The patio was small but lovely with plants and flowers. I had a glass of Italian Ripasso and my compañero tried a couple of IPA's. Service by Ginny was fantastic- a delightful University student! I tried the smash burger on lettuce and my compañero had the bar steak tacos. Both were excellent. I try to stay away from fries but needed the carbs and they were well worth it. Freshly cut with very little salt! The burger couldn't be better - homemade tasting. We made the right choice in what was a difficult decision with so many tempting food establishments around!

Pricing is more than a sports bar less than the keg in line with its intention. Food is more upscale than a sports bar. I had one of the specials which was a chicken stuffed with cheese and spinach as well as fresh veg and roast mini potatoes. See pic. This place is not fast. They cook to order. We were warned it would be around 25 min to bake the chicken. Fresh, fine by me. I also ordered a flat bread bruschetta with feta. The app was delicious fresh. Took 10 min to serve Prepared from scratch. This is not a restaurant you come to dine in a hurry. Service was not rushed and we never felt like we had to turn the table. Chicken cooked perfectly. Juicy. Wonderful. Place because of its construction can become noisy if there is a loud group. We were fine on the night we were there. During the summer there is an outdoor patio with a different menu. Still the same service and quality of food I remember from last visit pre covid.
