A short walk away is the Eaton Centre and Saks Food Hall by Pusateri’s, which retains the Italian vibe synonymous with its owners, the venerable upscale grocery chain Pusateri’s. But in addition to Roman-style pizza served a taglio (by the slice), it also offers a grilled-cheese counter, an all-eclair patisserie, a yogurteria and a champagne bar.

Meanwhile, Assembly Chef’s Hall, at 111 Richmond St., gathers 17 of the city’s best emerging and established chefs. The hard part of each visit is choosing. Will it, for instance, be Elia Herrera’s chicken tinga taco layered with chipotle at Colibrí, Lawrence LaPianta’s brisket at Cherry Street Bar-B-Que or Jackie Lin’s superb seafood at the stand-up sushi bar Tachi? There’s plenty of seating inside, but come summer you won’t want to miss grabbing a spot on either intimate back patio or the more spacious courtyard patio, which comes complete with a converted Airstream trailer as a bar.
