This Queensway pie shop is in the business of baking “Bloody Good Pies” and we’re inclined to agree. All of the savoury snacks are made from scratch in-house using Canadian ingredients. The braised beef-rib pie is a perennial favourite thanks to its meaty filling, which includes chunks of slow-braised beef in homemade veal stock with sweet potato and mushroom.
