Mr. Jim's Sri Lankan Canteen Returns for Epic La QV Pop-Up

Huge news for fans of Sri Lankan cuisine and, specifically, fans of Gamini Karunanayake. Karunanayake works at Gus on Beaubien, where his staff meal prowess is legend, but has held a number of teaser pop-ups in the past with food from his native country front and centre.

The next one will drop this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Little Italy wine agency La QV at 29 Beaubien Est.
