roast pig?

Anywhere in the city where I can get whole roast pig other than chinatown?

      Barraida, 1000 College has roast pig every Wednesday. Takeout, too.

        You can't get the whole pig. I thought that's what the original poster was inquiring about.

        Barraida is terrific, though. Not the nicest servers, even if you are Portuguese, but takeout's great and patio season is an amazing time to dine there.

        Chef Fu, where did you end up getting your pig?

        If you haven't my family has been ordering their whole pigs (not suckling) from a place at Finch/Leslie. He He Long BBQ.

          have you ever tried filipino style roast pigs (they're called lechon)? it's a staple in celebrations and i'm sure there are many places that make it here.

            My favorie Chinese Roast Piglet is inside Pacific Mall. On the second floor, there's a Shark Fin City. They are crisp and soft!

                That is true. Grrr. I guess a whole piglet maybe a small fortune.

              If you're looking in west Toronto, I know that there is at least one place near Dupont & Symington that has lineups running out the door when they're pigs are ready (about once a week).

                O Bairradino, at Lansdowne and Wallace (between Bloor and Dupont), is another Portuguese churrascaria that does roast suckling pig. Very tasty, as I recall.

                There is a plaza at the SE corner of Midland & McNicoll, where
                there are 3 Chinese BBQ joints, and they advertised on their
                windows that they roast whole pig.. I think a baby pig is
                about $90 or 125?

                  Not sure what sort of seasoning appeals to you but many of the larger mid-town Portuguese BBQ joints could oblige.

                    There is a BB-Q place at Brimly and Sheppard north west corner. When you say besides chinatown are you refering to the spadina dundas area or do you mean not chinese style?

                      Lots of selection in the east end in Scarborough. My favourite is at the Alton Towers mall in the corner between the Pizza Nova and the bookstore.. I forget their name, but they're reasonably priced and very yummy.
