Cheese, meats, seafood, greens the whole shebang.. I shop here though for the odd kind of things that are hard to find at your local grocers. Truffle salts, oils etc..

On our visit this morning we had a beautiful late breakfast/brunch at their Espresso bar/cafe - you can sit at the counter or in the cafe part. A very elegant feel - even the man serving reminded us of our recent travels in Europe... A very busy food hall that reminds me of the food markets in Europe and the UK. There is a choice of food types from fresh juice to oysters to sandwiches to a cafe to a an asian food bar. We settled for burgers cooked before us and coffee from the cafe.Both burgers were perfectly cooked.
