1. The Salad House
I can't believe this place is so close to my work and I never knew about it. Here I was eating $10 salads from Freshii like a sucka. Well, no more!
Checked out The Salad House located at Yonge/Bloor inside the Cumberland Terrace (on the ground…More »
2. Xtreme Taste
Seeing a huge line snaking down the sidewalk in front of a restaurant is always a good indiction that something decent is happening inside.
I thought I would jump into line to see what all the fuss was about. The wait was about 10-15 minutes before I…More »

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
For the 3pm break, we could have gone for a coffee but on a hot day, we decided to walk down for some frozen yogurt.
We were greeted with a friendly hello and a quick explanation of how the place works.
I decided to sample 3 different flavors - mango,…More »
4. Ginger
Fast and cheap meals under $10. Great for those in a rush and on a budget. Not for those who need wait service or a leisurely relaxing meal.
Love the lunch combo for $6.99 that includes grilled chicken on rice, spring roll and drink.
5. Dessert Lady Café
Toronto, ON M4W 1J5
(416) 924-3223
I needed to pick up a dessert for a belated birthday celebration. Decided to check out Dessert Lady as it was close to my office.
It's a small store with a variety of cookies lining the shelves on one wall, a freezer of home made ice cream and a…More »

Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Small ice cream shop with unique and yummy flavors.
I think the toasted marshmellow flavor is a love/hate thing. I happen to crave it fortnightly.
After thinking about it for most of the summer, I finally caved and snuck over on a lunch break. I got…More »
7. Sushi Club
Sushi joints are aplenty in the Yonge/Bloor area so the question remains - Where are all the good ones?
I checked out Sushi Club for takeout during lunch. I ordered the S2 - Dynamite Rolls and Avocado Maki ($7.99). It came with a miso soup and a…More »

Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
This little burrito place is tucked away in the underground beneath the bustling Yonge/Bloor corner. I found it while wandering the halls on a rainy day and returned for a shrimp burrito.
The burrito size was pretty massive for a small eater like…More »

I remember 7 West as THE date place back in the day but I hadn't been to back in awhile. I decided to revist for lunch at the invitation of my sister who had a Groupon voucher.

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
On one of the hottest days of the year, my friend and I came to Wish for lunch, only to discover that they did not have air conditioning. Luckily we didn't have to brave the sun and heat on the patio and were seated indoors, near a window where a…More »
11. Hue's Kitchen
After having lunch at Hue's, my first thought was "Shoulda gone to Ginger".
We ordered the vermicelli with shrimps ($7.99) and the curry chicken on rice. The vermicelli noodles were limp and loaded down with fish sauce. The currey chicken was decent…More »

Toronto, ON M4W 1A9
(416) 929-3425
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
The Spotted Dick is one of those restaurants that I won't go to of my own free will. Because of its proximity to our office, it ends up being the restaurant of choice for going-away lunches.
I've been there twice within the last six months. People…More »

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Looking for a light lunch, I dropped into Veda around 12:30pm on a Friday. There were 3 people ahead of me in line. Behind the counter, one employee working feverishly to fill customer orders and work the cash register. I watched as she slowly…More »

Checked out Thai Alicous for lunch with a friend. We placed our orders at the counter and sat down. Food was delivered to our table shortly after we ordered.
I got the chicken pad thai ($8.99). It wasn't great. Noodles were a bit gloopy. Portion…More »

I've passed by Features Cafe many a time on my way to and from work.
Decided to stop in to grab a quick lunch. Ordered a BLT sandwich ($3.50). They had a lunch combo for $5.99 which included a drink and fries with the BLT but I passed since I've…More »
16. King Palace
Just like the food I had here, I am only lukewarm about King's Palace.
Met a friend for lunch and we both grabbed a combo. I had the mattar paneer on rice. It came with a small side salad and pop ($10). My friend chose the mango chicken, saag…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I like the novelty to eating all-day breakfast on a weekday afternoon if only to fool myself into thinking it's weekend brunch and I don't have to go back to work after all. *sigh*
Met a friend for lunch and ordered 2 breakfasts with bacon, toast, 3…More »

Tobacco Shops
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

They have one of the best breakfast…More »
