Lunch in the Banker's Bunkers
See All Lists
1. Heidi's Deli
Toronto, ON M5J
(416) 869-0585
I believe Heidi's is the only restaurant within the Commerce Court food bunker that is not part of a chain. Perhaps that is why it offers better food at better prices than most of the neighbouring bunker tenants.
While most places within the…More »
2. Soup Nutsy
Toronto, ON M5K 1K7
(416) 304-1383
Category:
Soup
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
Within the Banker's Bunkers, this place has the most inventive and delicious soups, by far. Being conveniently located under a spacious stairwell helps ensure that there is plenty of room for the 25 people in line ahead of you. There are always about…More »
3. Thai Dish
Toronto, ON M5E
(416) 366-2722
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
When you can't stand the idea of the food court at the bottom of whichever bank tower you work in, and your time permits, this is a great little spot to get away from the masticating masses. Just off the PATH system, Thai Dish offers real forks,…More »
4. Szechuan Szechuan Fine Chinese Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5X 1B8
(416) 861-0124
Categories:
Chinese,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
This is the HQ of fast chinese food in the area. They've launched forays into the food court proper at First Canadian and into all the surrounding food courts as well. But this is the center of it all.
From outside, lunch line ups look impossibly…More »
5. Fast Fresh Foods
Being at the base of a 56 story building means that this location has long line ups. Much longer line ups than the nearby Yonge Street location, but the salads are prepared with move love and more lettuce. Focusing on upscale sandwiches and…More »
6. Beerbistro
Toronto, ON M5C 1C4
(416) 861-9872
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Bars
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Beer Bistro offers a place with great food and beer in an atmosphere that's comfortable but upscale enough to for entertaining your less uptight clients. I know it's not too far from Bier Market and those other places, but this place is in a whole…More »
7. Bikkuri Japanese Cusine
Toronto, ON M5C 1E5
(416) 369-0330
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Do you remember those "Participant" ribbons that the losers and the simply disinterested would get at grade school field days? That's what I think about when eating at Bikkuri: Participant. The place gets a few marks for showing up, and that's it.…More »
8. Irish Embassy Pub & Grill
Toronto, ON M5E 1J1
(416) 866-8282
I dislike this place for the same reason that I dislike suburbs, SUVs, wal-marts and The Eagles. Unfortunately, I don't know what that reason is. So, I'm giving Irish Embassy a three star rating.
First off, as others have said, there's pretty…More »
9. Pizza Manna
The pizza and sandwiches are good here, but the prices are high and I always leave feeling a lot of sticker shock. Pizza specials turn out to have enough stipulations to ensure that the deal you thought you were getting evaporates by the time you…More »
10. z-teca
Toronto, ON M5L 1G4
(416) 862-9200
Category:
Tex-Mex
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
People in the Zteca line, please get a life. How badly do you actually need a burrito? Why do you put up with such crappy food, high prices and disdainful service? And why, why are there so many of you?!
I don't get why people throng around this…More »
11. Hank's
Toronto, ON M5E 1M2
(416) 504-2657
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: St. Lawrence
Ouch. This place is looking a bit sad and lonely since my last time here in the summer. The croissants now look like they were picked up at loblaws.

Went here this morning after reading Kat's review. Wow, where has this place been hiding from me?… Read more »
Recently updated lists from Thom H.
Shopping at Woodbine & Danforth (9)In the spirit of the shop local challenge, here is a list of great places to shop near Woodbine and Danforth. |
Restaurants My Mother Would Like (8)Looking back on some reviews, I noticed a theme concerning restaurants that I thought were too staid and unadventurous for my liking. I've taken my mother to Dim Sum and to Grossman's, but only for the shock value. She didn't eat anything at Dim Sum and let's not even discuss Grossman's. Anyways, these are places that I think she would enjoy. Maybe I should take her to one of these places to make it up to her. |
Reviews I wish people had read (3)Looking back on my reviews, I notice that some of my favourites received zero feedback. So here they are in list form. |
