Peasant Cheese
Ask for a taste and trust whatever they hand you. The fastest way to look like you planned the cheese board.
Cheese, Spice and Deli
The small shops that make a Tuesday dinner feel like a dinner party.
Say Cheese Fromagerie
An exceptionally well-stocked cheese counter that's been part of Crossroads Market since 1999. Hard-to-find Comtés sit alongside everyday cheddars and goudas, and they host wheel openings and tastings through the year.
Pro tip: Pair it with a Simple Simon pie while you're at the market.

The Little Noodle Shop
From the team behind DOPO and Bar Rocca, a pasta counter with noodles made fresh every day. Eat a plate of pasta at the market, or take fresh pasta and sauces home for the easiest good dinner of the week.
Must try: The giant raviolo with ricotta, egg yolk and brown butter, the spicy rosé rigatoni, DOPO's tiramisu.

Silk Road Spice Merchant
Walls of spices and blends, sold in amounts you'll actually use before they go stale. A great hostess gift for the person who cooks.
Empire Provisions
Cured meats and deli counter favourites from a shop that takes charcuterie seriously.

Bridgeland Market
The corner grocery every neighbourhood wishes it had. Good for the forgotten ingredient and a little something for the host on your way to a friend's place.
