They cary brands that most canadian grocery don't. It is overall just so unique. They cary this dark rye bread from Estonia that is truly one of it's kind! Super delicious. We got some smoked salmon belly : what a delight! Their pickles in the back are home made and extremely delicious.. just how my grandma use to make them a generous portion of salt ! I know I prefer my pickles salty not sour ! There's just so much to describe about this place and I just think it be better for you to check it out for yourself and enjoy the experience.

Lakomka is an Eastern European grocery store and deli. They have lots of shelf stable items,…read morerefrigerated and frozen items, deli meats and desserts. I've only ever had their desserts here. I've had some apple pastries (several years ago) and more recently I tried one of their cakes, which are sold by weight. The apple pastries ($2 each at the time) were ok, but I found them a bit dry. The cake ($9.30 for a fairly small piece) was delicious, but I found it pricey. However, it had many layers and I tasted a lot of hazelnuts in it, so with the cost of things these days, prices are what they are. The cake was really moist and rich, but not too sweet, which I appreciated. Service was courteous. It's in a strip mall and there free parking in the shared strip mall parking lot.

The Short Version: Small Lebanese grocery store in Bells…read moreCorners that also sells prepared foods. I found their meat pies to be just ok. However, their staff were very friendly and welcoming. The Long Version: This review is for their meat pies. I love Lebanese meat pies. Ever since my first meat pie at Aladdin's so many moons ago, I became addicted. I also introduced them to my husband and my entire family and they all love them too. So it might come as no surprise that my mission is to try all the places that sell Lebanese meat pies in Ottawa. So when I found Lebanese Food Centre and Bakery on Google Maps, I made a note to check them out when I was next in the neighbourhood. I got 2 meat pies ($3.50 each). I ate one right away in the car, lol, and brought the other one home for my husband. I found the meat pie ok. These ones didn't have that smokey flavour that I love. And I feel it could have benefited from some spice. I did like that the dough wasn't too thick or fluffy. It was thin and slightly crispy on the outside. The amount of meat was good but I feel I would have liked more tomatoey tang. It's just personal preference but I like my Lebanese meat pies a bit spicy, tangy from the tomatoes with a touch of smokey flavour (I'm guessing from smoked paprika) and the one here didn't have those elements. The man serving me was very friendly and welcoming and I appreciated that. They are a small grocery store but also have fresh meats, and prepared foods. They sell rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken and skewered meats. They have a charcoal grill. And they have some sweets too. I saw Kunafe and Shaabiyat. I would return to try their desserts and maybe a shish tawook wrap or something else from their grill. They have a few picnic tables out front to eat at. They are located in a small plaza. Free parking available in the plaza parking lot. Review #200 (2025)

I can't say that they have everything you could ever need, but they do a good job of stocking the staples. The produce is definitely a highlight. What I really like is how much they support the local community. They sell bread from several local bakeries and produce from local farms. During the fall they carry about 8 different types of local apples for $1/lb. They even have little signs describing the flavor of the apples and how to eat/cook them - nice touch! Support your neighborhood market...the Metro down the street is pretty much crap anyways.

They sell dry goods, they have a deli, a bakery section, and they sell prepared foods too. They also sell alcohol. My husband got us some takeout from there recently and it was pretty tasty. He got us 2 cabbage rolls ($3.50 each), 2 Pork Roulades ($2.50 each) and a huge rum ball ($4.99). He also got himself a beer ($5.99). The cabbage rolls were stuffed with ground pork and rice, and covered in tomato sauce. The cabbage was so soft and tender, like practically fall-apart. The rolls were flavourful and didn't taste too fatty. I enjoyed them. I feel the packaging could have been better. They were packaged in a plastic clamshell container and were put in a plastic bag. The container leaked, but thankfully the bag contained the mess. I'm not a huge fan of hot foods in a plastic clamshell container. The Pork Roulades were packaged in the same way. My feedback is the same, as it also leaked. The Pork Roulades were thinly sliced pork wrapped around a filling of diced vegetables. It too was very flavourful. The pork was melt in your mouth and fairly lean for pork, which I appreciated. The rum ball was gigantic. It was so dense and chocolatey. If you like rum balls in general, I think you will like the ones here. Wedel Touch of Europe Westboro is where Pietro's Corner used to be. Street parking only. They are a nice addition to the neighbourhood.

The Piggy Market is a cute little shop in Westboro that sells meats, cheeses, baked goods and…read moreprepared foods. It's definitely boutique-y as opposed to bargain-y if you know what I mean, lol. My husband loves their Jamaican beef patties, which are "homemade" as opposed to the highly processed stuff sold at supermarkets. I personally find them too greasy, but they are very flakey and filled with more meat than any other Jamaican beef patty I've ever seen! Their donuts are just ok, in my opinion, nothing remarkable. If you like European-style potato salads, I think you might like the potato salad at Piggy Market. The potatoes are firmer and it's less mayonnaise-y than North American potato salad. Their prepared meals are good to grab and go, but a bit pricey for what they are, in my opinion. For example, their vegetarian poke bowl is $14.50, which is about the same price as freshly prepared and customizable vegetarian bowls elsewhere. Pricing, aside, the food at Piggy Market is generally tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The shop is on a side street off the main drag. It's right by Winston Square, so when the weather is nice, you can eat at Winston Square. Street parking only.

To…read moreme, The Piggy Market (bakery, deli and craft butcher shop), located in Canada's National Capital Region's Westboro neighbourhood, is making Jamaica proud! Over many, years my Jamaican born family members and I have scoured Ottawa-Gatineau, Miami and Jamaica looking for a Jamaican-style patty that can be described as 'nyam-ing' perfection. The Piggy Market delivers! How do they achieve this? I believe that it's all about their quality ingredients, mouth watering recipes, impactful blend of spices (flavourful heat) and a pastry shell that screams , "I am Jamaica Proud!" Today we visited for the first time and tried the Beef patties and Jerk Chicken patties. We're saving our next visit for Oxtail patties and any other patty menu items that we have yet to try. Every week The Piggy Market highlights a unique specialty patty on their menu. Note to the wise. Call in advance to find out what's available--what's on the patty menu that week.
