Max's is a good place to go for prepared foods around Bloor St. West: in other words, if you want quick take-out that isn't the usual fare. A boon for local gourmands who don't feel like cooking or staying out.
Max's is also a handy source for specialty items. The first time I ever came here I was impressed by their huge selection of whimsically-named hot sauces ... although I wonder how much of a market there is for such things.
