    This Russian store is by far the better one in the area, as it's clean and always has a wide selection of products, and especially fresh deli. I love their Montreal cottage cheese! Makes awesome "syrnichki".

    I came here looking for chocolate, dark chocolate specifically.

    Saw some 90% Cacoa stuff, but decided on the most foreign looking package I could find. No english = even better :) It had been awarded 5 medals this century?
    looked it up.. red October factory existed before the war and was state run at one time. http://weburbanist.com...

    Tasted it - superb, dark chocolate it's like a Russian Aero bar.

    Anyways I left here with the chocolate, a crepes package (again very little english) and some peach nectar juice.

    It's nicely organized, clean and offer a wide array of Russian foods from the regular chained groceries.

    Just a note, you can't see the place from the road. It's deep inside the plaza where the Canadian Tire is located.

    Love that Chocolate aisle!
    European brand boxes of Chocolates perfect as Gifts.
    VODKA or Brandy Chocolate :D

    Long line up at Cheese & Deli.
    I couldn't even see anything through the crowd.
    People must line up for a reason.

    Smoked Fish and Salmon Caviar($$$$$)
    I didn't notice any Sturgeon Caviar but Smoked Fish a plenty.
    All I saw was $99.99 for Caviar while I faint.

    Cooked Food selection smells excellent.
    Rotisserie cooking those Whole Ducks filled the area with aroma.
    Lots of things look Doughy/Heavy.

    Bulk Candy aisle separate from Chocolate aisle.
    I couldn't understand most of the words on the wrappers.
    It's Russian or European Candy so fill-er up.

    Cakes & Desserts quite recognizable.
    Different names and styles but still the basic Pastry Methods.
    Maybe it's not a Cake night.

    Perogi filled more than one fridge.
    Flour Dumplings filled from side to side in Frozen status.
    Somebody must be OD'd on Perogies.

    Visiting Yummy Market is really a cultural experience!!

    I still cannot get over the buckets of marinated fishes!! I can understand about pickled veggies but a whole fish?? Now I am going to ask my Russian coworkers how they eat those?! They just looks super fishy!

    There are so many different products which I never see before.. all in Russian which I have no idea what they are...and all those loose candies...

    As a non Europeans/Russians/Ukrainians, I looked lost and stood out like a sore thumb.. But it proves how authentic Yummy Market is!!

    Strange specialty food from Eastern Europe. If you like that stuff, it is great. I am not a fan but my friends who are love the place.

    If you crave Russian or Ukrainian food, this place is an absolute must.  It is the size of a small supermarket.  The deli meat counter offers all varieties of wonderful sausages; the deli salad counter has all type of tasty morsels (I'm partial to the Armenian style eggplant - or baklazhan, as they say in Russian).  The bakery offers a variety of homemade breads, rolls and pirozhky (yeast buns with savoury or sweet fillings) at very modest prices - all of exceptional quality.  Frozen foods include a large variety  of homemade soups and frozen berries.  Additionally, the isles contain a wonderful assortment of teas, pickles (I love the Polish pattypan squash and the pickled garlic stalks), jams, bulk candies, cookies (try the Russian zephyrs  - marshmallow concoction between a candy and a cookie), chocolates and more.   Definitely a shopping highlight of North York.  

    Most of the help speak reasonably fluent English and unlike some locally run supermarkets, the checkers are very professional and extremely efficient.  A counter in front of the store offers Russian pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even birch branches (for beating your legs at the banya).

    Okay, I nearly got taken down for photographing their deli counter but the manager gave me permission to post what I had took and she was real nice about it.  I am constantly amazed every time I come here.  I got some ukha soup again and some cherry perogies from their frozen section and I also bought a huge piece of white fish stuffed with a creamy lobster filling and topped with melted cheese...I'm not sure what kind of cheese but really, does it matter?  It's cheese.  Again, huge enough for at least two people and only around $8!  Thank God this place is quite the trek from my house or I'd be as big as a house from eating here every day.  I gotta say it again, I LOVE IT!
