Omnitsky Kosher Ltd.

This eat-in deli stocks gluten-free wieners, gluten-free chicken wieners, Montreal smoked meat, pastrami, turkey salami, and all-beef salami. Owner Eppy Rappaport smokes and cures all meats in-house, but if you can’t make it to the deli, pick up Eppy’s Kosher Weiners at Choices Markets and select Save-On Foods.

Whole Foods

A European market writ large and fast-forwarded into the future, Whole Foods ticks all the boxes, with great selection in all specialty departments. Outstanding are the meats, bakery and prepared foods- a massive ready-to-eat smorgasbord with dozens of choices: try the maple chili basil tofu or the quinoa salad with chicken, grapes, and almonds.

The Market Gourmet Foods

Skip Costco—for your next dinner party for 10 or 200, hit the Market Gourmet Foods. It’s the retail outlet for the Whitefish Group, a brand-management company that imports dry foods and beverages and distributes them to restaurants and grocery stores around the city. (Whitefish introduced Seattle’s Best Coffee to Canada in the early ’90s, and also designed and built Yaletown’s George Ultra Lounge.) Sparkling water, olive oils, pasta, herbal teas, even gourmet cake mixes are available in singles, case lots, or entire palettes.

Choices Market

Organic and sustainable products are a priority, as is reducing packaging, starting with the more than 400 items available in the bulk foods department. Well-qualified healthcare consultants are on hand in most stores to address nutritional and health-related concerns.
