Business Lunches

Places I have gone for business meetings and food at the same time. Some more successful than others.

1. Mengrai Gourmet Thai

Toronto, ON M5A 2V3
(416) 840-2759

Category: Thai

Neighbourhood: Corktown

10/14/2010 ROTD 12/8/2010

Went for a business lunch here last week. Very cool location kind of tucked away from downtown.

Not greasy at all, no heavy feeling after eating here. I like that. Too often in Toronto, our Asian and Asian-inspired cuisine is just oily and gross. This…More »

10/14/2010

Today's business lunch was at Il Fornello in Queens Quay Terminal. Lusso (their "sister" resto-within-a-resto) was our first choice, but it has now closed for the season, so we went for the ol' standard. It's a good place to meet people - great…More »

Category: French

Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park

1/6/2011

So... maybe I am of the ignorant masses, but I HATE a runny omelet. It makes my tongue and throat itch. It feels nasty in my mouth. It looks nasty on the plate. Is that authentic French preparation? If it is, I don't like it. I like my eggs puffy.

11/2/2010

12 p.m. business lunch here last Thursday, party of three.

Long line-up to get in the door just to tell the front of house your reservation name (there was clearly no space for people without reservations)... I was irritated, but then I saw the people…More »

5. Biff's Bistro

Category: French

Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core

Update - 11/6/2010

Had another lunch here yesterday. I FINALLY didn't order the mushroom soup. I am SO GLAD I went for it (or, I suppose... didn't go for it)... something new!

Upon being inspired by one of my table mate's orders (the daily pasta special), I went for Les…More »

6. Down the Street Bar & Cafe

30 Ontario Street
Stratford, ON N5A 3G8
(519) 273-5886

8/21/2009 First to Review

One of my favourite to go for drinks in Stratford! This is at the VERY top of my list, matched only by Foster's Inn (see separate review).

They have great staff who make FAB drinks, and the cozy atmosphere is lovely. It's a very loooooong place, very…More »

7. Hot House Cafe

35 Church St
Toronto, ON M5E 1T3
(416) 366-7800

Categories: Italian, Cafes

Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core

8/21/2009

I am a fan. What can I say? It's not the BEST food, nor the BEST atmosphere in the city, but we often end up back here! The location is really convenient and the food is good, as are the prices.

It's big enough that you can usually get a table/make a…More »

57A Adelaide Street E
Toronto, ON M5C 1K6
(416) 203-3093

Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

7/29/2009

I am really a fan of all Terroni locations, especially Queen Street, but this one is a favourite too - the building/design are breathtaking. This builing was built in the 1850s and has housed many things, including Courthouse Market Grille,…More »

Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: The Annex

12/8/2011

Another fine-dining favourite! I love this place. Like FIVE STARS love it, as you can see.

Great, cozy atmosphere - fabulous place to impress a date. AHEM!

Officially it's called "Sotto Sotto Trattoria", so you know what kind of food you're in for.
