Andrea "Kuidaore" W.'s Profile

College and Bathurst Lunch Break

Around my former workplace, I have been to these places on my lunch break, meaning they are walking distance from College and Bathurst. To be added: Thai Grill, El Gordito Empanada, Nirvana, Miss Cora's Kitchen, Bikkuri Sushi, Harbord Bakery, DT Bistro, Sky Blue Sky and the fish sandwich place.

1. Awtash Cafe

419 College St
Toronto, ON M5T
(416) 203-8008

Categories: Persian/Iranian, Fast Food

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

6/29/2010 ROTD 7/25/2010 First to Review

Awtash Cafe opened just a few days ago and I am so delighted! It's close enough, and good enough, to become a regular lunch hour destination for me.

I have a decent imagination but I cannot comprehend how Awtash Cafe used to be that somewhat dive-y…More »

2. Tibet Cafe

51 Kensington Ave
Toronto, ON M5T 2J8

Categories: Bars, Himalayan/Nepalese, Juice Bars & Smoothies

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

3/26/2010 ROTD 10/11/2010 First to Review

Tibet Cafe is such a sweet, cozy little place. I wish it was a few blocks closer to my office so that I could spend more of my lunch hours there.

The menu has everything: Tibetan favourites are alongside fruit smoothies, all day breakfast, burgers,…More »

3. Bitondo's Pizzeria

11 Clinton St
Toronto, ON M6J 2N7
(416) 533-4101

Categories: Pizza, Italian

Neighbourhood: Little Italy

8/15/2008 First to Review

I can see Bitondo's from my window as I type this. I'd say half the traffic on my street is due to Bitondo's. This is the spot for a good ol' greasy slice of pizza or a meatball sub. The shop furnishings have gone unchanged for 30 years: there's a…More »

4. Riviera Bakery

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park

8/13/2008 First to Review

Whenever I go into Riviera Bakery, the women behind the counter glare at me as though my custom were the world's biggest irritation.

On days when I can screw up my courage to face the ladies' wrath, I treat myself to a fresh and delicious roast…More »

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park

9/18/2008 First to Review

For all the bars and restaurants along this stretch of College Street, there aren't many places where you can settle in for drinks with friends for a few hours. Until Cornerstone opened in June, South Side Louie's was the only pub around. For this…More »

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park

8/15/2008 First to Review

The tables and chairs are uncomfortably close together. The din of the open kitchen, the music and the crowd is overwhelming. You'll probably take a few elbows to the face from your server or the other customers. If you are seated (lucky you) you…More »

7. The Big Chill

Situation: want ice cream from The Big Chill after lunch
Dilemma: lunch break ends at 2pm, The Big Chill opens at 2pm
Solution: convince manager that she wants ice cream, too

You can't miss The Big Chill. Just look for the green and pink acid trip mural…More »

Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village

As the four stars indicate, "Yay! I'm a fan!"

I fell in lust with tonkotsu ramen on the streets of Fukuoka and I've been searching to satisfy my need for a decent bowl ever since.

iNoodle's tonkotsu ramen is the best I've had in Toronto so far.…More »

This address has been a number of different bubble tea cafes over the years. They opened late in the afternoon and served only basic snacks, like thick toast or pre-packaged dumplings.

Since I work just around the corner, I'm glad that Table No. 7…More »

I Feel Like Crepe is an unpredictable experience. I've had warm, fresh Nutella and strawberry crepes that could not have been more delicious - I wanted to lick my plate clean. I've also been served cold, gluggy, flavourless ham and cheese crepes that…More »

Yung Sing Pastry Shop - filling the U of T student belly for pennies since 1968.

The famous buns (BBQ pork, curry beef, tofu, veggie...) aren't the world's greatest. The fillings are good but the buns themselves alternate between stale and soggy.…More »

Kim Bo is the only pho within lunchtime walking distance of my office. If there were any other choices, I'd never go there. But sometimes, you just need pho, you know?

The interior is dark and cluttered. The service is quick-ish and the prices are…More »
