Places I can still %^$!% eat at when dieting

Sometimes, as a boxer, it's necessary to tighten up the diet a bit and lose a couple pounds in order to make weight for an upcoming fight. Who wants chicken and broccoli ? Not me ! Here is my list of places I can still eat out at when I'm cutting calories/carbs.

1. Annapurna Vegetarian Restaurant

1085 Bathurst St
Toronto, ON M5R 3G8
(416) 537-8513

Categories: Vegetarian, Indian

Neighbourhoods: The Annex, Seaton Village

7/1/2010

OMFG! Why is this place yet to be reviewed? (David T's one liner hardly counts, puh-lease!!)

I had read about Annapurna somewhere before but had yet to make a trip up to Bathurst/Dupont. I chanced by there on my way back from Fringe Fest, so I decided…More »

2. Butler's Pantry

591 Markham St
Toronto, ON M6G 2L7
(416) 535-9868

Category: Breakfast & Brunch

Neighbourhood: Palmerston

4/8/2010

I love the menu at this place (although, in 3 years it hasn't changed, would be nice to add some new dishes or something seasonal on occasion)

The prices are right and the food is great, but I find the service sllloooowww and we always have to wait a…More »

3. Veda Healthy Indian Takeout

Toronto, ON M4W 2J1
(416) 961-9797

Categories: Indian, Food Delivery Services, Fast Food

Neighbourhood: Yorkville

6/1/2010

If you're looking for the tastiest Indian food, then Veda is not what you are looking for.

They do, however, absolutely live up to their "Healthy Indian Takeout" slogan. The dishes are very low in oil/grease/fats etc, you can tell just by looking.…More »

4. Ginger

521 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y4
(416) 536-3131

Category: Vietnamese

Neighbourhood: The Annex

5/26/2010

WOW, poor little Ginger has only 1 review? I'm surprised!

Ginger is a great little vietnamese "fast food" style place on the Bloor Annex strip.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, the portions are BIG and they don't skimp on the meat, which is unusual…More »

This is another place I absolutely love, I often get my lunch here. Healthy eaters will love this place!

They do fantastic custom salads, there is a list of about 20 free ingredients and a list of "premium" ingredients which cost between 50 cents and…More »

6. Utopia Café & Grill

586 College St
Toronto, ON M6G 1B3
(416) 534-7751

Categories: Tex-Mex, Burgers, Vegetarian

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Palmerston, Bickford Park

Update - 6/29/2011

I'm downgrading Utopia to a 3 star.

I went here last weekend for the first time since last summer (I used to be a regular).

Prices have increased....by about $2 on average. Most of the burritos are now $13 plus tax.

The waiting time is just as…More »

7. Avocado

1105 Bay St
Toronto, ON M5S 2B3
(416) 323-9770

Category: Sushi Bars

Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core

5/6/2010

I went here once and I don't think I would return. It was OK, but Sushi Club is just around the corner, which I much prefer.

Avocado is tiny inside with about 5-6 tables in total. They also have a small patio with another few tables.

I didn't find the…More »

Categories: Vegan, Breakfast & Brunch, Vegetarian

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

Great place!

I would give it 4 stars if it were not located inside of a food court. Food court dining is ghetto.

Food court aside, the food was awesome. The menu is about 80% breakfast food. I love that I can get salad with fruit salad as my side…More »

495 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2
(416) 929-9255

Categories: Chinese, Thai

Neighbourhood: The Annex

6/22/2010

This place is kind of boring. I kind of enjoyed the "woking out" part most if I'm honest.

It opened up just over a year ago but there never seems to be any customers. I think I know why !! Who wants to pay $10 plus tax for a stir fry when there are a…More »

10. Cornucopia

19 Wicklow Street
Dublin 2

Categories: Vegan, Vegetarian, Coffee & Tea

6/27/2010

Cornucopia is a MUST for any vegetarian visiting Dublin. Or even if you're not vegetarian (like me). Hell, even if you live in Dub you should be frequenting this place.

I lived in Dublin for a year and my best friend was veg, we used to visit…More »
