My City: Day 456: Postcard

The Thin Blue Line Cheese Boutique at 93B Roncesvalles Avenue Ave in the west end of My City. This area of the city is undergoing a real transformation that does not include the big name stores. A lot of local young ideas.

"This expanded cheese store has the sort of friendly, personalized service you'd expect from an owner-operated shop. The offerings focus on artisanal raw- and pasteurized-milk cheeses from Ontario and Quebec, though some French, U.K., Italian and Swiss treasures are available. Highlights include creamy La Sauvagine (grand champion at the 2006 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix) and powerful Baluchon, both from Quebec. Of course, great cheese demands great bread, such as a delightful Epi loaf. For a complete comfort food experience, there are hearty soups and a selection of pâtés."
