1. Black Camel
I wasn't even planning on eating at Black Camel. But after emerging from Rosedale subway station (and how many times does that happen), I saw that ebony dromedary beckoning me. Is it time for a sandwich? I looked at my watch: yes, it was meat…More »
2. Vinny's Panini
Toronto, ON M6G 1Z5
Canada
(416) 531-9454
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Christie Pits
Smashing sammich shop in Christie Pits. I strolled in around lunchtime on a Friday to find the place packed with gritty locals eagerly awaiting their eats. The entire restaurant isn't bigger than the inside of a moving van, and you probably couldn't…More »
3. Dutch Dreams
I had just finished telling Crystal H about the omnipresent crowds at Dutch Dreams when we walked past and witnessed a contradictory sight: no one was there. Even though we were both stuffed to our necks in fried chicken, I knew this was not an…More »
4. Karine's
Toronto, ON M5T 3K5
Canada
(416) 591-0863
Categories:
Vegan,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I enjoyed a decidedly non-vegan breakfast here late one afternoon. The owner, Maggie, called me "baby" no less than six times as we reviewed the specifications of my bacon, eggs and toast. I was charmed. It's too bad a place like this with such an…More »
5. The Stockyards
Toronto, ON M6C 1B2
Canada
(416) 658-9666
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Barbeque,
Southern
Neighbourhood: Wychwood
Add another upraised thumb to the chorus saluting this meaty joint. Just writing this is virtually filling my nostrils with the smell of their crispy fried chicken. Three of us snagged a window seat and split the buttermilk fried chicken, the pulled…More »
6. Wrap & Grab
Toronto, ON M5G
Canada
(416) 595-9727
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core
I can't believe I never climbed these steps before in search of Toronto's best shawarma. I popped in here late last night for a handheld snack I could jam into my mouth en route to a concert. Wrap & Grab delivered. The service at the counter was very…More »
7. The Burger's Priest
Toronto, ON M4L 1G3
Canada
(647) 346-0617
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Upper Beach
I returned to pray at the Holy altar of meat. Instead of The Priest however, I went for a more modest "cheeseburger". Still took about twelve minutes, and I left stinking like a deep fryer (there is literally oil mist in the air here), but that…More »

You gotta hand it to these guys; they know burgers. Located near Queen East and Coxwell, their… Read more »
8. The Fish Store & Sandwiches
Toronto, ON M6G 1B7
Canada
(416) 533-2822
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park
This chub-sized sando-hole makes some slammin' fish sammiches, I tell you what. There is barely enough room in here for a Mediterranean tuna (four seats), so pray to Poseidon that the weather is fair and that you can sit outside on their lovely…More »
9. Pita Village
Toronto, ON M5T 3K5

Perfectly passable pita place in the Village by the Grange food court. I'm a sucker for falafel, and… Read more »
10. Burrito Bandidos
Toronto, ON M5V 2G7
Canada
(416) 593-9191
Category:
Tex-Mex
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Virtually concealed down a hugger-mugger staircase on Peter street is a bantam burrito booth barely bigger than a beefalo: Burrito Bandidos. Burrito- and quesadilla-slinging is their game, and they do it well. You can get a bean-missile in a myriad…More »
11. Urban Herbivore
Toronto, ON M5T 1P1
Canada
(416) 927-1231
Categories:
Vegan,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I've walked by Urban Herbivore many times but this was the first time I ever manned up and ordered something from Kensington Market's umpteenth vegetarian resto. With a little moral support from Ben "Mr. Halifax" B we stopped here for lunch.
The menu…More »
12. New Thai Food
Their hot and sour soup should be mandatory for ailing bodies. That is all.

Came here for another pad thai and was once again impressed. The trick is, come later in the day,… Read more »
13. Schnitzel Queen
Toronto, ON M5A 1S5
Canada
(416) 861-9793
Categories:
Sandwiches,
German
Neighbourhood: Corktown
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.
Seated at what appeared to be the kitchen set of a quaint Bavarian soap opera, we watched in wonder as this tiny restaurant met the Schnitzel needs of ravenous lunch-time Queen-easters. This place did not…More »
14. River Towne
Toronto, ON M5A 1V2
Canada
(416) 203-6664
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Corktown
Diminutive deli serving the local lunch crowd. Daily specials are posted on a sandwich board and offer variety to a mind boggling degree. The diverse menu includes sandwiches, wraps, curries, chili, pub fare, and pastas. Pretty decent selections and…More »
15. Crema Coffee Co.
Toronto, ON M4W 1A9
Canada
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Weird café crammed inside a Freshii. The actual coffeeshop is the size of two phonebooths, so customers wanting to stay must sit in Freshii, which isn't much bigger, but comfortable enough. I actually found an outlet for my laptop, which I wasn't…More »
16. Quick Pita
Toronto, ON M5V 2C5
Canada
(416) 599-7482
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Quick Pita is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shawarma spot on Duncan just south of Queen Street West. It's pretty cramped inside with a pile of tall stools in the corner (and strangely, one lone stool bolted down), so you'll probably want to take your…More »
17. Gandhi Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
Canada
(416) 504-8155
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
This small shop on Queen west serves delicious roti. The restaurant itself isn't much to look at: it's sweltering inside, and there is only a handful of seating. It also smells like the inside of an Indian spice cabinet; an aroma which may follow you…More »
