Pepper's Food & Drink — Restaurant in Toronto

From the outside you might think - is that a convenience store? Is it a hot food market? Yes, it's both.

Their is a selection of warm food items, fried chicken, beef patties, yum burgers, sweet hand pies, and then there are specials during weekends that are Pacific islands inspired, sometimes fusion, and always delicious.

The convenience store side of the business has snack foods, sauces, and unique offerings that take me back to my childhood exploring different Toronto ethnic communities as well as hard to come by snacks like hip hop theme potato chips.

It is a hard to explain, must be experienced bodega. The staff are friendly and cool, the atmosphere is urban and cultural, the offerings bare unique, nostalgic, and we'll curated.

I often find street parking on Wallace and it's not too far a walk from Lansdowne Subway.

Please support this small business. The guys running the shop work hard and deserve the tips.

I give Pepper's 5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ out of 5 for doing it right. You can also buy booze to go here as well.

I was recommended Pepper's by a friend and it has now become a favorite weekly destination by my family. We don't live very close, but we enjoy our visits so much we make an effort to pass by when we're in the...

Peppers is one of our neighbourhood's go-to spots to bring friends and for a quick date night.

Our first visit was on a weekday. We loved their fried chicken and treated ourselves to unique sodas and snacks that you wouldn't typically find at a grocery store.

On our second visit, we came on a stat holiday and found out about their weekend and stat holiday specials, which change constantly and are posted on their Instagram account. We had the fam jam, which came with lasagna, noodles, spring rolls, BBQ, and other items.

Peppers is like an elevated convenience store stocked with tempting treats. From different sodas to snacks and even Korean goods, it's a treasure trove for those looking to explore new flavours and indulge in old favourites. But beyond the delectable dishes and unique offerings, what truly stands out about Peppers is its warm and...

An oasis of cool pantry finds on Wallace.

Well-curated selection of beers, wine, soju and sake as well as most of the Dillon's lineup.

Basic grocery needs but the real star of the show is the takeaway food. All kinds of banchan (Korean side dishes) which will enliven any meal you're putting together. I got some ramp kimchi and spicy, crispy anchovies which made for a killer fried rice.

The counter pumps out a small but mighty menu of fried snacks. The burger is decent. I loved the wings which were crunchy. The sauce the buns came with makes for a great wing sauce too. Buns were pretty good too. Fries were excellent. Perfect ratio of crispy to soft potato. Seasoned well too.

Great selection of soft drinks if you don't consume alcohol.

Highly...
