| - I feel the need to review the market as a whole as it is easily my favourite food shopping place in Toronto. Saturday morning will always find me (regardless how heavy a Friday night I have had) heading to the market. In my opinion the best things about the market are:
Super fresh food: All that fresh fish, meat, fruit and veg under one roof. I love it! Having a bbq...definitely the place to go. I have tried a few different butchers there and I like Brown Bros. Fish, I just walk around and see what the best bargains are. Never disappointed! I also this it is better value for money as you get more for your buck!
Farmers Market (every Saturday until 2pm): Want super cheap fruit and veg then this is the place to go! There is a huge variety, and a woman who makes the BEST gluten free chocolate brownies. As a regular customer I should really learn people's name instead of referring to them as 'amazing brownie woman', 'British Pie Man', 'Apple Cider Guy' etc. The British pie man also makes rather tasty gluten free products. A definite must is his GF pizza bases. I could rant about the farmers market forever. It is just too good!
Buster's Sea Cove: I have reviewed this independently but they deserve a second shout out for their amazing fishy fast food.
Carousel Bakery: Pre GF days I was partial to a peameal bacon sandwich from here. Apparently hailed a must do in Toronto...it's true, it is a must do!
The sweet treats place on the ground floor: Pies, brownies of various flavors, beautiful cakes and key lime pie to die for!
Kozliks Mustard: At $6 a jar, it's not the cheapest mustard you can buy but damn it is worth every cent. What I love is on a Saturday they cook up a lot of bacon, put out pretzels and a sample of every mustard they make (of which there are many) and you can try away until your heart is content. I love the fig and date, smoked, maple, triple crunch, extra hot and Dijon mustard's.
Really friendly people, great buzz but always busy (unless you go during the week or just before closing time).
