  • I am updating this review as they have a separate entry for the bar/pub under corks. This review applies for the store section of Longos. This space is huge almost 45K sqft. The staff is friendly and usually will take you to the aisle instead of pointing towards it if you are trying to find something. The prices are a tad bit higher but in line with the competition i.e. Sobeys, Metro and Loblaws. What sets them apart is they have an amazing cheese selection and very knowledgeable staff there. I will review each section separately as I have shopped here enough to form a decent opinion: Cheese/Cold Cuts etc. I had some friends over and was preparing a cheese course for them, problem solved, all I had to do was go to the cheese counter and pick up a prepared cheese plate (2 options 1 for 10$ other for 15$) It had a selection 5 cheeses as I went for the bigger plate. It was decent size and could serve 5-6 people easily for a cheese course. Other gem I found was cheese that was infused with merlot just amazing. The Staff went out of their way to help me (mind you it was in the early hours of the morning so they were not as busy) I picked up some fresh cream and bonicini cheeses both were very good. Smoked salmon a bit expensive and are awesome as well full marks here for this section. They always a lot of samples for cheese so you can try before you buy. Meat: The prices are a bit higher but the quality is good. The items when they are on special bring it inline with the reigning champion IMO Costco! I have picked scallops here and they were very nice so was wild caught snapper. Steaks have ranged from good to OK. They do sell Australian Wagyu if you wanna splurge. I have bought Caviar from here as well and it was very fresh. They sell some hard to find items such as fresh whole ducks, duck fat, Organic meats,sausages etc. Very High Marks as well. Produce: I am not big on produce but it has always been great here whenever I bought stuff. Limes are the best value as they are priced very well. Mushroom section is very good with excellent selection and proper paper bags for storing them are free. You are paying good money in this section unless it is on special so one would expect good quality. Coffee Beans they have a nice island which has lot of selection for coffee beans and usually they have samples as well. Some are very exotic (I am talking about Kupi Luwak here folks) and the best part is you can buy a small sample to try. Pricey but good variety. Breads: For an Italian place the bread I expected this area to shine but its nothing spectacular. Good variety but nothing outstanding: Desserts: This is their weakest area IMO as their in house desserts are lacking. They do carry the standard dufflet fare but I would expect something better for this kind of store. Definitely needs an improvement. Cleaning Supplies Drinks etc. This area is pricey as expected they do have nice variety of Italian items such as Brio etc. Cleaning supplies pricey as well. Prepared Food: They have a huge buffet style food section which targets the lunch and dinner crowd. Lunch is very busy dinner is acceptable. Daily specials on weekdays all for $7.99. The one's that standout are the whole roast Chicken and 16" Pizza. The buffets section is very pricey and you can end up paying almost sit in places prices so need to watch out. Nice dining area very laid back with nice TV's and comfortable sofas. Definitely a unique spaces Obligatory flower shop which seems decent. We have a winner on hand here folks this is the grocery store to beat in downtown.
