If you are a fan of swine, Blue Danube is decorated with variants on this theme- sausages seem to be the specialty, but keep an eye out for the poppyseed roll. This was by far the standout on this trip out to Toronto!
With the bias that saran preserves what remains of old pastry, I was shocked to bite into a supple dough, loaded with a super moist, poppyseed and raisin filling. The filling-to-dough ratio definitely defied the price point.
The staff were friendly, in their own way. While efficiently organizing the flow of customers, and curtly responding to questions, the ladies displayed a special hospitality when it came to sampling the variety of unlabeled sausages stacked in the glass case. The universal language of sausage appreciation settled in with their enthusiasm and eagerness to share the joy of their cured pork products, as they doled out slices of their favorites.
