Must see. Findlay Market is the best venue for real food in town. It's in an area of OTR that is in the process of gentrification. Try to park close as it is still very uncivilized just a few blocks removed. Worth the risk for the scene. Good restaurants that are part of Findlay are Pho Lang and Eli's. Weekends are the best.
