Loblaw's

Toronto


Yeah, it's a grocery-store chain, but this flagship is a must-stop for its high-quality prepared-foods section: sushi made to order, grilled meats, thin-crust pizza, creative sandwiches and salads…and don't miss the killer patisserie and Wall of Cheese. Plenty of seating and occasional live music. Ninety minutes of free parking, too.
