UPDATE: I tried to bring back vaccum packed prosciutto and prochetta and they took it when I tried to claim it. =( The cheese was ok though.

Sigh. Does anyone know when this place will re-open?

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I've messaged both of them and am awaiting their responses.

Hi David,
I did see that but it seems like that post is about visiting stores and tasting oils. I would like to visit an agritourism/ farm where I can see the press and maybe have lunch there as well.as a tasting.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an olive oil tasting farm I could go to in or near Florence. I don't have a car, so I'm looking for something as close as possible. This is the one I think I might go with: http://www.san-vito.com but I'd love to hear some suggestions!

Thank you! Wow, the 17th. I was way off.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the right board, but I live in Toronto and I'm going to Europe next week.
I want to know: Can I bring back cured meats and breads? Do I have to declare what I have?
I know I can bring hard cheeses (right?) but what about mozzarella? Has anyone brought back some of these things into Canada?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm staying at Hotel Riviera (55 rue des Acacias) and I'm looking for some recommendations.

I'd like to hear about some places to eat breakfast, bakeries and lunch spots.

We're on a tight budget, but if the resto is amazing I'll consider it!

Thank you!

Hi!
Tomorrow morning I am going downtown and would like to grab a cheap but GOOD breakfast downtown. Does anyone have any breakfast specials that are $5 or less? Just a basic breakfast, toast, eggs, homefries?

oh that's great. cheaper than new york, where it was like $9. o_o

also, how much is it for a dozen bagels at each location? I've been looking but can't quite find a price.

not that late! still here.

sorry! I just saw this post.
I actually went with wholefoods. The scones were delicious and the food amount was generous.

Just to let you know, a west indian bakery/cafe in Scarbrough also sells this coffee!
and they make really good rum cake.

thanks a lot guys! I will def. report back.

I have two days left in Montreal, and I still haven't tried the bagels!
I want to go there, but I am dependant on public transportation, and it seems super far
away from a subway or anything.

Can someone please tell me clear directions to get to both of these places?
I think that they are fairly close to each other,and I would hate to go back to Toronto without trying either.

I am leaving from the central bus station, [Station Centrale?]

Sorry if this is off topic!

Hi everyone!
I'm heading to Montreal this weekend, and I'm excited to try delicious food.
I already heard that some of the best bagels are at Fairmount.

I would love to find a delicious patisserie, an excellent poutine, yummy cupcakes and good pizza.

It would be great if these were near Station Centrale d'Autobus Montreal. If not, that's okay! I'm willing to travel. Someone told me that they found really good homemade pizza for $1 a slice near the bus station. Does anyone know the name of this place?

I'm also missing samosas...are there any good ones in Montreal?

Thanks!

hi!
I am having a hard time finding a supplier for a vegetarian patty. Most companies supply vegetarian patties, but the dirty secret is that there is beef paste [ suet ] in the crust.

Does anyone know a company that makes patties that are entirely vegetarian?

Thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to decide where to take my mother for Winterlicious. I found that Jaaadu uses high quality ingredients, and I liked that they have a lot of variety on their menu.
However, I know that Amaya's Bread Bar is supposed to be really good. The menu is more expensive and has less selection. We aren't all ordering from the Winterlicious Menu.
Which would you recommend?

thanks guys.
that Niagara street cafe is more along the lines of what I'm looking for.
the harbourfront rink is supposed to have opened on nov.15th.

I am trying to find a nice place to eat dinner in harbourfront for my birthday.

I would like a place that is dark lit with candles, kind of like the nose in leslieville, or a queen street restaurant...aesthetically pleasing with good food.

I need it to be in harbourfront because after I am planning to go skating.

If you know of any nice restaurants that are also near open rinks, that would be great.

thanks!

Ended up going to Indian kitchen.
the naan was really good!

hello!
I need to order some trays of samosas.
do you guys know a place that will deliver?

thanks

hmmm thanks for the input guys. we found out that it was the Indian kitchen.

hi everyone
tomorrow is my mothers birthday. she wanted to go to the indian rice factory but I looked it up on here and the reviews weren't that stellar. she mentioned that she had heard of a good place at sheppard and yonge. do you guys know what place this could be?

thanks~

I went to ghazalis today and the samosas were great! the beef one was fresh and crisp and flavourful. the veggie one was microwaved, and that made me sad because it wasn't crisp anymore, but it tasted amazing!

hey everyone
I am looking for a place to cater an afternoon tea. Do you know of any that caters in the GTA? I would like them to deliver to my location.

thanks!

these are some of the places I am considering.
