What is the spiral sausage like dish? TIA
I am trying the pork souvlaki in a pita, village salad, baklava, and kataifi today, from the new 495 Bloor location in the Annex. Very happy to have this place west of Spadina.
Souvlaki Place also serves breakfast!
Fries wrapped in with the souvlaki in a pita, as is done in Greece.
The pork souvlaki in a pita is the best I have had in Toronto in a decade.

I tried the spanakopita and a frappe at Phyllo CafĂ© on Pape north of Mortimer. Itâs quite good. They use the thicker village -style filo.
I prefer a taller type of spanakopita with egg and herbs added, which is harder to find in restaurants.
This one is a flatter type which I associate with northern Greek cooking.
Phyllo CafĂ© also serves Greek -style crĂȘpes. I havenât tried the crĂȘpes.

I stopped at Menalon Bakery on St Clair near Oakwood today. Very impressed. The shop changed hands at some point over the past year.
Good selection of pantry goods, spoon sweets, at least 4 types of feta in brine, as well as package feta. Quite a few Greek chocolates and loukoumi /loqum/ delight . Olives. Cookies. Dakos. Must cookies. Olive oil cookies. Basically everything I typically buy at Seranoâs pantry section is available here.
They have tsoureki / Easter bread (Greek Easter is May 5th this year). They have cartons of dyed hardboiled Easter eggs.
They have squares of warm spanakopita and tiropita under a hear lamp. They have room temp loukamades.
I purchased dried beans ($4.50), Dodonis feta ($39/ kg- they also have Epirus feta, Bulgarian feta and Spartan feta, which are cheaper), galaktoboureko, spanakopita, Thessaloniki koulouraki (sesame bread ring).
The spanakopita was roughly equivalent to the spanakopita available at Athens Pastries on Danforth and on Vic Park, Serano Bakery on Pape, Phyllo CafĂ© on Pape the now defunct Akropolis. I like the filling slightly more than Athens. I prefer a taller version with a lot more spinach and more butter on the filo. The type sold at bakeries is this flatter type thatâs common in the North, Central Mainland and Peloponnese.

@mrsleny , Iâll take a quick look at some restaurants in Vaughan where I would seek out vegan or vegetarian food.
Almost every Turkish restaurant will have a vegan lentil soup on the menu.
Off the top of my head, some places will have imam bayildi, spinach borek (could contain cheese, ask), Turkish salad.
Iâve seen vegetarian pumpkin manti but I havenât tried them.
I havenât tried any of these places.
