  1. > Emporio de los Sandwiches at Keele and Wilson has been pumping out traditional Uruguayan dishes since the 1980s.

    > “We started off with predominately Uruguayan and Argentinian customers and now we’ve gotten a lot more multi-cultural customers.”

    > Visit Emporio on the weekend and you’ll be met with rows and rows of freshly-baked bizcochos, a variety of sweet or savoury pastries, usually eaten for breakfast or as an accompaniment to the steaming hot tea-like beverage, mate.

    > Don’t forget to sample over 20 varieties of empanadas, olimpico sandwiches (multi-layer cold sandwiches usually with ham, cheese and other vegetables) alfajores (dulce de leche cookie sandwiches with coconut) and chaja – a peach and meringue dessert.
