Exchange District restaurateurs Chris Graves ( King ’ s Head Pub ) and Sean McKay ( late The Mitchell Block ) opened Friskee Pearl ( above ), at Main and York . The cavernous 250 seat space serves a seafood forward menu for lunch and dinner , nodding to signatures of the Maritimes and farther flung inspirations like Oysters Rockefeller and seafood paella . Chef McKay ’ s affinity for alchemy rewards diners on a variety of plates , from preserved yolk accenting salad to umami rich , caramelized honey made from reducing whey , sweetening sweet potato beignets . Try the lobster and artichoke agnolotti ( featuring housemade ricotta ) and be treated to chef Sean ’ s legendary artisanal pasta . 191 Main St , 204-800-6644

❚ seeing green

A

joint venture between
Hermanos and next-door Ashdown Cannabis shop has reimagined the retail space into Ashdown Market , a food market for nearby residents . Fresh produce and a selection of grab and go grocery staples , sourced from Sysco , aim to fill the longstanding business void in the area . A wider range of items will be added in the weeks to come , but early days already reward shoppers seeking last minute ingredients to whip up a meat , potatoes and veg supper . 171 Bannatyne Ave , 204-905-1508
