NishDish is a business built on traditional Anishnawbe (Nish) food. Over the last twelve years NishDish has grown as a catering business and is now operating a new storefront marketeria. We are proud to be a First Nations Owned and Operated Food Emporium specializing in our Native cuisine and culture.

"Then there’s the onsite miniature market of First Nations, Metis and Inuit handmade goods – beaded jewellery and art, maple syrup from an Ojibway-owned company, Mohawk roasted coffee. An opposite wall will have NishDish soups, stews and other products available to go.

There’s the youth mentorship program he’s starting with Native Child and Family Services of Toronto down the block, teaching Native youth culinary and small business skills (they’re culling 30 “amazing” applications down to 10). Among the projects the mentees will be helping with: an herb and traditional medicines garden in Christie Pits, and a Three Sisters garden (corn, squash and beans, staple crops traditionally grown together) at Ashbridge Estate.

There are also the cooking classes, the monthly art exhibits and the workshops featuring community elders and storytellers.

In short, he says, “People are calling it a restaurant – but it’s not, really.”
