A taste of Quebec

Inside one of my favourite gallery spaces - the Thompson Landry gallery, is a Taste of Quebec boutique deli specializing in gourmet cheeses and decadent spreads like tartinade and confiture artfully placed around the rustic front room.
The front room is split in 2 places - where a small preparation area is and the retail space is the other half featuring all the finest cheeses.

Czehoski

Czehoski is a Toronto institution.  The faded namesake sign is the original sign from 1924 when it was a butcher shop and deli owned by a Polish/Czech family.  It is also my local bar where I consider myself a regular.  In fact, I go there so often that I've been declared the 'mayor' on foursquare (a social network). But I usually go there for late night drinks after I've eaten dinner.  This was because Czehoski's reputation as a restaurant was not stellar; it was just a fun place to have drinks.
