Locals needing anything from a main course to a side dish hit this long, sleek shop to bolster their entertaining efforts. Savoury takeout displays, arranged by cuisine, offer everything for instant dinners: roast double chicken breasts, Tuscan bean salad and Hungarian goulash. Max’s creamy guacamole is near legendary in Bloor West Village. Pastry treats include light house-made croissants, buttery fruit crumble and apple crisp alongside delights from Dufflet and Baker Street. A cheese counter features a dozen blues—from Rosenborg to Shropshire—and Serrano ham and speck are among the charcuterie offerings. Crackers, European chocolates, fancy oils, pastas and preserves are piled to the rafters on towering displays.
