| - Oooooooh.. I'm a 29yo Australian who hasn't lived there since he was 8, but have visited. So I have a childhood attraction to that Australian taste.
I walked in here today after work, next to the park, and was thrilled to see they not only had pies, but Australian products! Vegemite, Cherry Ripe, etc. They also have Lemingtons etc. Which was amazing to find because I usually get people to bring this stuff to me in their suitcases! :)
Anyway, my wife and I ordered two pies to eat there, not to go. Mine steak/cheese, and hers a vegetarian. And they were lovely. The pastry was super yummy just like good Aussie pies, and filling was good too. Not exactly the same (not better/worse, just different) but still really nice.
I'll definitely stop here every now and then for a casual pie to go as I walk through the park down to Sherbrooke.
(Note: Australian pies etc aren't "cuisine" in Australia, they're just a common fast food, like poutine. And it's not so much the pie that is the dish, but more the Australian way of eating it ie: on the go, with a handheld container etc, or at a football game. Either way, there's a special rich taste in them that these guys get right. :))
