I was originally very excited to go to Phil's place. I had seen it on TikTok, and as a chef, I know the importance of purchasing fresh, quality produce. The produce looked amazing, but the service was terrible. I had found some beautiful looking figs, and I had asked the older woman where they were from. She didn't know.

If you donât want to, go to NoFrills and buy the B...

Nestled in the Historical St. Lawrence Market this is my favorite of all favorite places to get some amazing and quality produce and fruits.
There's something very special about this place, perhaps it's the family run business that cares so much about the quality of their goods, perhaps it's just they're overall nice people who work hard and care about the products they put on display.
Or perhaps it's all of the above!
I would have to rank Phil's Place as being the top 10 places to get the best quality produce and fruits.
Excellent...
