Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

5.0 star rating
  8/24/2010

LOVE this place! This is where I go when I've been eating out too much and feeling guilty and in the mood for something filling and healthy.

Not a lot of seating, so not a suitable place for big groups (like, more than 4), but very warm and inviting.…More »

Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  6/27/2010

Guilt-free dining at its best! This is a great place to take health-conscious friends or to go to for a little detox. Located on Bay and Wellington, in the basement of Far Niente, this is definitely a welcome addition to the Financial District's…More »

THE best salad bar on Hospital Row hands down. Heads and shoulders above Cultures, Druxy's, and any hospital cafeteria. Est West is hidden in the OPG Building food court, directly connected to Queens Park station. I am eternally grateful to the…More »

(3.5 stars)

I have eaten at Fresh countless times but don't have super-strong feelings about it, so it has taken me this long to write a review. I started to think about this place... I have come here in a large group, on dates, with 'the girls', with…More »

  5/15/2011

I rarely eat in food courts, but I make an exception for Karine's. The location is great, across the street from the AGO, close to Queen West, close to the University Ave. hospitals (if you work there).

I have been here a couple times now, around…More »

Categories: Vegetarian, Vegan

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  Update - 4/13/2012

Hmm, they've just increased their prices AND it now costs $1 extra if you want your grain bowl with quinoa (vs. rice). Dislike.

I come here regularly and service is highly variable. Like the last time I went, I commented "oh that's new" when she…More »

This is one of my favourite spots on Harbord. I have been a number of times over the years and the quality is always excellent. I took an Iranian friend once, and he said that the food was very authentic and chatted with the chef at the end, when we…More »

I agree with Dishan, 3.5 stars (I put 3 so it will average out to 3.5!).

Cute, fresh and fast Korean food. As the name suggests, this is a great lunch spot -- a happy medium between food court options (which usually don't have very nice seating…More »

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  3/27/2011

Solid, cheap, Vietnamese food in a convenient location. I usually get the chicken noodle soup (pho). Perfect on a winter day and also what I was craving recently getting over a cold. $5.99 gets you a really big bowl (4.99 for small). The chicken is…More »

  8/24/2010 First to Review

There was Big it Up, and Soup it Up, and now there is Mix it Up.

Located on the first floor of the Toronto Western Hospital, this is really just a place to go for people who work at UHN or patients/visitors. I only give it 3 stars because it is…More »

Neighbourhood: Corktown

4.0 star rating
  3/27/2011

This place reminds me what Sunday brunch should be -- relaxing, quiet, and delicious. It is refreshing to come here on a weekend and not have to worry about massive lines. The place was busy, but as long as you aren't coming with a huge party, you…More »

  7/30/2010

Went here for the first time today and was surprised to see the negative reviews here. I echo people's comments on the nice, minimalist decor and welcoming vibe.

I had the baguette with brie, portabello mushrooms, and caramelized mushrooms. Hopefully…More »

I heart Sage Cafe. It's been my go to lunch spot for a while now. Perfect location if you are going to the AGO or visiting/working at any of the University Ave. hospitals.

They have lots of daily specials: 2 soups, pasta, pizza, quiche. Plus there's…More »

I love making new discoveries in familiar neighbourhoods. Had lunch at Cafe Bernate after a friend recommended it. Looks very unassuming from the outside, but as Marie F. mentioned, there is a large seating area (and in the summer, patio) in the back…More »

Marche/Richtree/Movenpick... I'm confused what to call it now. Whatever it is, the Brookfield Place location has recently reopened.

It's pretty much the same thing, except stuff has all moved around. The seating areas has been revamped and looks a…More »

So I don't know if the management has changed or not, this place used to be called Big Momma's Boy. I went here because everything on the menu can be made gluten-free and I was having dinner with a friend who has Celiac disease. Well, we kept walking…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

Cheap, fast, and relatively healthy fare. I have been here a few times because it makes my friends and I nostalgic for the make-your-own stir-fry we used to get every week at the cafeteria at university.

The vegetable selection is decent and you can…More »

Meh. I have to echo everyone's comments... this place totally copied The Sandwich Box, right down to the size of the paper boxes and everything.

So this pick up place has probably only survived because of convenience and proximity to many offices.…More »

(2.5 stars)
I got the thali (rice + one protein + one veggie dish) with saag paneer and mixed vegetable curry. The saag paneer was creamy and pretty good. The vegetable curry, on the other hand, was pretty bland and the vegetables looked sad. I think…More »

Vegetarian Haven is a solid option if you are vegan/vegetarian or dining with people who are. It's also a safe bet for people on gluten-free diets, as there are several dishes marked "wf" - wheat free. I eat meat, but the dishes here are so…More »
