This is a great place to go for a quick lunch. Not only is it a great Italian market, it has a deli, bakery, cafe and gelato. We always buy fresh pizza dough and ingredients from Lina's when we want to make home made pizza. This place gets busy, but the tables turn over quick so you can always find a seat.

Excellent and authentic Korean restaurant. Kiwa offers traditional Korean dishes, including bbq and hot pot. We have tried numerous dishes on the menu and they are all delicious, but our favourites include Yukgaejung and Samgyeopsal. You don't need a reservation, just know that it is closed on Mondays.
