Peggy and Maral from Jules patisserie

They make the best quiche in the city and their chocolate and almond croissants aren’t bad either. They stock every colour tin of Illy coffee too! This is the uptown location with another at Spadina & Richmond. – Christie

Keep your fork dude, there’s pie!

I was the one who graduated from Hotel and Restaurant Management school, my friend and classmate Tim McConvey lasted one term. But who has opened the most happening pie-eating place in the Beaches? Tim, not me.

Visit the Pie Shack for your choice of delicious pies, both sweet and savoury. Be patient though …. with their laid-back, friendly atmosphere and great food, the line-up is out the door at peak times. Don’t forget to order ice cream or a piece of cheddar on your slice of pie. And look for Campbell, Tim’s beloved bearded Collie in his own shack out front of the store.  – Christie
