The Caledonian

856 College St, Toronto, ON M6H 1A2

The Scottish fare at The Caledonian was made for our winter months. A starter of A Taste of Scotland ($16) with a scotch egg, haggis fritters and sausage rolls will warm you right up. And Scotland’s national dish – Haggis (lamb, oats and spices), Neeps (turnips) and Tatties (potatoes) ($16) might sound strange but it’s all the basic comfort foods corralled onto one plate.

It doesn’t get much more comforting than a meat pie. These brilliantly engineered hand-held pies never leak and have the most beautiful, real butter, flaky pastry. And I haven’t even discussed the sumptuous fillings yet.
