Leslieville for the Foodie
See All Lists
1. Le Rossignol
Le Rossignol is a small and intimate bistro newly opened in Leslieville (taking over Pop Bistro's space). And on a cold wintry night, there's nothing more satisfying than classic French cuisine to fuel and fortify a body against the chill.
Or if…More »
2. Ruby Eats
Ruby Eats is another addition to Leslieville's foodie circuit. A high-end grocery opened by Ruby Watcho owner Lynn Crawford, this shop distinguishes itself from neighbours by its 100-mile-centric produce and offerings of dinner-party embellishments…More »
3. Olive & Olives
The Toronto branch of this Montreal-based store has opened its doors. A really nicely designed shop offering balsamic vinegar, oils, spices, and... olives! Shelves are lined with cans, jars, and bottles of condiments and accompaniments - as well as…More »

Breakfast & Brunch,
French
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
While I can't stand to wait in line for brunch, they do have an excellent peameal bacon sandwich if you're inclined to sit-down and eat. But as tasty as it is, I wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes in line for it.
You can, however, skip the line and…More »

Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Great, passionate, and knowledgeable people working the shop. A good selection of fresh fish, scallops, oysters and the like (depending on availability). Loved the coast-to-coast "guided tour" I got during a lull in traffic of the various seafood…More »
6. Lady Marmalade
Toronto, ON M4M 1J3

Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Italian
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Judging by the other reviews, I've been missing out on the eggs benny.
However, the dish that I always order when I go to Lady Marmalade is the Brown Rice Bowl, "Baja Style" topped with black beans, aged white cheddar, pico de gallo salsa, avocado,…More »
7. Leslieville Cheese Market
A tiny shop with a carefully curated selection of cheese, meats, breads, and accompaniments. Not cheap, but convenient if you're in the area. I also enjoy their granola, the dry-cured Gypsy salami, and their garlic-stuffed olives.
8. Rowe Farms
Eggs, meats, poultry, vegetables, and dairy - you can find most of your basics here - along with local produce to boot. I regularly pick up the fresh eggs and in-season fruits and vegetables.
Like many shops in the area, Rowe isn't the cheapest way to…More »

Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
The ice cream here is really excellent; it's creamy, flavourful, and satisfying. And if ice cream wasn't already enough of a draw, the smell of fresh waffle cones will likely do you in. Alongside the standard flavours are offerings with a local…More »

Coffee & Tea,
Tea Rooms
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
A great spot to stock up on teas in the area. This small shop is run by knowledgeable staff who are willing to geek out with you about tea. There are a few seats to enjoy your cuppa with a few sweet treats (some gluten-free options available). The…More »
11. Bobbette & Belle
Toronto, ON M4M 1K9
(416) 466-8800
I had gone into Bobbette & Belle's new shop to suss out their highly lauded macarons. My first end-of-day experience was lacklustre to say the least. I imagine that since they keep their goods out in the open-air, they dry out rather quickly, so ask…More »
