You might want to walk a couple blocks north to check out the 'French Market' in lower level of Ogilvie station.
It's kind of a food hall - many varieties of meals to be had (ethnic, etc) or shop for fancy cheeses, sweets, wines, etc - stuff that you could enjoy there or take for later enjoyment. Has a busy kinda festive vibe.
