Tastes of Greektown

This is the weekend of "Tastes of the Danforth" in Toronto, an annual food fest in Greektown which we had been in a habit of visiting in recent years.  For me, it was the draw of roasted quails and the yummy Greek dessert - Bougatsa.  There were many restaurants selling quails - I just went with the one that had the quails roasting on an open fire.  The quails all looked plump on the spit but the one that was handed to me always looked small!  But truly, it's all that's needed for lunch!  And I still had to leave room for the roasted corn and of course, the dessert.  




Choice of quails, chicken, pork and calamari
Those are not the only choices of course, all along the street there were all kinds of food, even dim sum!







Bougatsa - layers and layers of phyllo with a custard filling;  for me, the best and the least sweet of Greek desserts 

We arrived just before noon with plenty of time to look around and eat before the lineups like this began around one o'clock.  By that time, we were sitting back at Second Cup with our coffee and "take-in" dessert watching the crowds go by...
