Thank god for Lynn Crawford.
She's revived Riverside through opening not only her restaurant Ruby Watchco but also with the opening of her new gourmet food market Ruby Eats.
Popped in on Sunday, the space is beautiful. There is a large centre table piled high with fresh Ontario grown produce as well as jars of preserves made in house (such as pickled yellow beans, pickled beets & pickles).
They have a great selection of gourmet food items such as pastas, bread, oils, vinegars, preserves as well as a large selection of cookware (Le Creuset) and cookbooks.
Staff are super helpful and have a good knowledge of the store's inventory. They even do in-shop cooking demonstrations!
Check it out if you are in the area!
