Lunchtime In The Core

I work right at Yonge-Dundas and with a plethora of restaurants, food courts and random eateries in this area, it can be hard to choose where to go. These are the places my coworkers and I frequent because of the great food, good prices and decent portions!

I've read tons about this place and I think I got a salad here when it first opened (which I remember as being great), but I figured Milo's Pita deserved a chance to fill the Mediterranean food void in my heart.

I've been here a bunch of times and going to the Toronto Life Centre makes an easy food pit-stop for staff when we're all going out together and can't agree on one thing (and don't want to go NEAR the Eaton Centre).
