| - Imagine a charming little farmer's market that sells specialty, gourmet foods. Breads are baked fresh, cuts of meat and seafood are beautiful arranged, and they've got fancy teas and snacks everywhere. This is what the Village Grocer is, but in a nice little building in Markham. There really is no other place like this around unless you go further south into Toronto.
When you step inside, it's just a delightful experience. You can smell the fresh foods all around you; a lot of which you can buy and eat right there in their dining area. Visually, it has a rustic and clean appeal, and evokes the feeling of being transported to a rural town market. There is so much variety and I am certain you can get specific things here that are very hard to get in other grocery stores (e.g. foie gras, exotic spices, etc.) I love to come here even when I have nothing to buy.
Something I really enjoy are their pre-made sandwiches. I've been able to try 3 or 4 different types and every one of them have been delicious. They are overflowing with fresh ingredients with tons of flavour. One of my absolute favourites is the turkey and avocado. They're also a bit on the pricier side (around $7-8), but like everything else in the store, the quality makes it well worth it.
