Leslieville Pumps ~ 913 Queen St E ~ (416) 465-1313

Leslieville Pumps General Store and Kitchen (aka The Pumps) is a place that needs little introduction.  Located on Toronto’s lower eastside, the Flom brothers have been at the forefront of The 6ix’s BBQ scene for over a decade.  Growing out of their humble beginnings as a gas station and evolving into a general store &…

On our last visit, an Indonesian family visiting from L.A….
