Visited the Piggy Market for the first time. Nice little spot just off the main drag in Westboro. It's a combo luncheon/diner and take-away butchery and cheese shop. Stayed in and had the Piggy Classic sandwich (pulled pork and blue cheese on an egg roll) - absolutely delicious. Great spice and flavour. Took home some artisanal cheese hard to find in ottawa. Staff was friendly and the place had a cool atmosphere. Will be back for sure.
The Piggy Market has a huge fan base among us Westboro dwellers. It's tucked in behind the Dairy Queen in Westboro, just off the new Winston Square. Piggy Market is a butcher shop (well, sort of a butcher shop) but also a place to get cheese, bread, and freshly prepared foods for lunch or dinner. I'm a big fan of their Jamaican patties (I see others are here too!). Chicken is my go-to but they're also available in beef and veg. The pastry is gorgeous and flakey and the meat is perfectly seasoned.
I also drop by if I need a loaf of bakery bread. I've never been disappointed!
p.s. It's worth following them on Facebook to see what they're cooking up for the day!

The Piggy Market is a great place if your alternative diet requires quality, locally supported meat products...
