Ok so I work up at Yonge and Eglinton. There are a fair few places to choose from when looking for something to eat at lunch. One of my colleagues recommended Fit for Life and oh lordy I am so glad they did!
Everything is so fresh and delicious, the first time I went I did not quite understand you pay for your salad box by the weight...oh dear!
The cucumber dressed in yogurt, mint and dill - wow! Sweet potato salad is also lovely.
Fit for life...when you realize salad can be amazing! -

Fit for Life is my regular lunch spot.
After revamping my diet, Fit for Life has been supporting my diminishing gut one delicious salad at a time.
This place is great, they have great healthy fresh food for reasonable prices. I'm a fan of their salad bar. This type of layout is common in the states and even found in convenience stores in NYC. It's a simple salad bar that offers a plethora of choices. Different lettuce mixes, cucumbers, beets, corn, pasta salads, olives, tomatoes, strawberries, pineapple, mango, avocados, and the list goes on.
The salads are priced by weight and often times, the owner will cut you a deal.
The wraps are full of vegetables and taste fresh as well. If the healthiness is overbearing, you can opt out for a $5 lunch box. These consist of your choice of rice or noodles and your choice of stir-fried protein item (spicy chicken, black bean beef, etc.). I always go for the half and half (both chicken and beef). They really fill up the containers here!
To top it off, the owners are especially sweet and kind.
Whether you're in the mood for a healthy meal or a slightly greasy stir-fry substitute for Manchu Wok, this is your place. Good food for a great price. -

Some friends recommended this place to me and I am forever grateful! I mainly build my own salad ($4.99/lb) which usually gets me a good amount. Lately i have been having cravings for potato salad and pasta salads and they make them so yummy here! I did try the western sandwich ones it was alright, satisfying but not amazing and decent for $2.99
There is a great selection and Wendy is super nice. She makes you feel welcome and she genuinely is grateful for your business. I always look forward to going for for lunch! -

Does anyone know how EXCITED I got when I found this place yesterday? lol
I used to eat at the one in Fairview Mall but I'm not in that neighborhood much anymore and the last time I was there I don't even think it was there.
Anyways I think their prices are reasonable and the variety is unbelievable. I like the 'hot' food options they have. I had a small container of rice with chicken on top which was mixed with potatos and some other veggies and it came to around $4 and I didn't even finish it.
BUT what you want to come here for is the salad bar.
Talk about options. You grab either the small container or big (which is what almost everyone goes for), and pack away.
You can get your traditional garden and cesar salad, and then you have all other other good stuff from just plain veggies like carrots, cherry tomatoes, pepper sticks, pickles, broccoli...and then you have the tuna pasta salads and regular pasta salad.
For a little sweetness you can add fruits with yogurt and almonds.
Who know you could get excited about salad! :P
Anyways give it a try, the staff is so friendly and just know you're eating healthy! -

This is the perfect place for business people in the area. I used to visit this place two or three times a week back when our office was next door. It is sort of hidden inside of a convenience store, but once you find it, you'll make the regular trip there for breakfast and lunch. Picture a small cafeteria with ultra friendly staff who knows the regulars by name.
The food here is fresh and cheap. You can get omelettes for breakfast served on bread, a wrap, or on it's own -- for $3. Lunch consists of different daily specials, typically a stir fry or meat of some sort served on rice or noodles. A small portion is $4 (enough for most people) or $7 for a large (my size). They also have gourmet sandwiches, fruit smoothies, wraps. Everything is made to order. For Yonge and Eglinton, the service and prices are excellent!
The biggest draw to this place is its DIY salad bar. There's easily over 50 items (maybe even 100) and you mix everything you want -- fruits, veggies, nuts, dressing, etc. and pay by weight -- $5/lb. You can get a nice meal sized salad in the $5-10 range. I love to mix in fruit with my salads, so the DIY style was perfect for me.
They also have frequent user cards, where you can earn a free meal after 9 visits. I've had countless free meals over the 4+ years I spent there. I miss this place!
