Empty.  I want to make my own bento box lunch/dinners for myself and guests.

Fenigo on Lexington Rd might have what you are looking for.

Thanks.  I’ll check them out.

Lots of them available on amazon.ca as well, both the modern plastic varieties (used by Japanese people to pack their lunches) and the more traditional wooden ones. $20+ each for the nicer ones, but you can spend much more, too.

May not be your cup of tea, Amazon Canada has dozens of types and makes to view or buy

I think you can get the plastic take-away kind used in restaurants at the wholesale club in Waterloo, they sell a lot of restaurant supplies. It's been a while since I've been in there though.

Big expansion on tap for Kitchener-based Charcoal Group
Four new Beertown locations planned in coming months

Quote:Beginning in July with an opening in Oakville, Beertown Public Houses will also open in Toronto, Barrie and Guelph. The Toronto location, opening in the fall at the busy downtown intersection of University Avenue and Wellington Street, is Charcoal Group's first foray into the city.

For bento boxes, that Miniso, Japanese lifestyle store in Conestoga Mall should have some options.

Thanks.  If I don’t find some there I’ll ask at a Japanese restaurant.

Langdon Hall is #4 on the new list of Canada's 100 top restaurants. Impressive!

There must be a Kitchener Market thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I'll note here that the Kitchener Market will be running a market on four consecutive Wednesdays, starting June 26. The market will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

I'd uge everyone to spread the word and to try to make the Wednesday market part of your routine for these four weeks - the only way the pilot can succeed is if people actually come out and shop.  From the sounds of things, it will also be a good spot for Wednesday evening drinks and dinner, with music.

I noticed yesterday that the Kitchener Holiday Inn has been re-branded as Sunbridge Hotel. Seems like an independent chain, they do not mention IHG rewards. I thought the Kitchener Hotel was quite up to date and busy as its been Holiday Inn forever.
