I didn't want to write a review until I've tried a few sandwiches because I'll admit, the first one, pulled pork, was good but wasn't enough to inspire a review... since then I've been back probably 10 times, brought countless friends and colleagues,…More »

It's a good thing this place is out in the beaches 'cause a girl could easily put on the pounds eating here... a girl that sees no shame in having a bacon cheeseburger a day that is aka me!

There are a lot of comparisons to the IN-N-OUT chain in…More »

By far the nicest ginger location, I actually walk past the one on Yonge near Bloor to go to this one a few blocks south.

I like that it's cleaner and serves passionfruit juice... Actually I'm not sure if the one on Yonge serves passionfruit juice…More »

Does anyone else think these are the wrong photos? The place on Hayden is beyond tiny. I usually wait outside for my take away because it's so small if you wait inside the single waiter can't get to his tables.

And the staff ain't friendly, at least…More »

I love Pusateri's for a quick breakfast/lunch option. Good quality, gourmet food, lots of options, and very manageable portions.

Most of their items you can pick your portion size. They even sell some of their sandwiches by the inch, including a…More »

5 star deluxe falafel pitas!

I pick one up everytime I'm in the area, and often go just for a fix.

Perfect hummus, love that the cabbage and onions are all seasoned, the tabouleh is super fresh, and the hot sauce is the best I've had in Toronto (for…More »

Considering I travel from downtown Toronto to Brampton to go here I'm gonna give it 5 stars, even though I'm sure part of it is nostalgia. Also it's 5 stars for it's price point, it's kind of like a African/Portugese Swiss Chalet.

Nando's is a…More »

If you find yourself in the Manulife center looking for something substantial to eat on a budget, perhaps before a movie, I'd consider Scaccia a good option. They offer a wide selection of Italian food and everything I've had has been good/passable…More »

Skip the fries and get the latkas, they're a bit greasy but soo delicous. Especially with their vinegary coleslaw, my favourite kind. Their fries are also good in a nostalgic cafeteria fries kinda way.

The service in this place isn't always the…More »
