Top Spots Under $10

My favourite cheap restaurants in Toronto. These are all places that serve consistently good food in large quantities for about $10.

1. Athens Pastries

509 Danforth Ave
Toronto, ON M4K 1P5
(416) 463-5144

Categories: Bakeries, Mediterranean

Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale

12/21/2009

Easily one of my favourite spots in Toronto. A simple menu of consistently amazing food at reasonable prices - you can't ask for more than that. I've eaten at Athens hundreds of times over that last 20 years and it's always phenomenal.

Athens serves a…More »

Update - 3/20/2010

Since my initial review I've come back to Khmer Thai a couple times to try more of the dishes. On my most recent visit I brought a group of about 10 people. The group included a wide range of people: some vegetarians; a few that have travelled in…More »

3. Kom Jug Yuen Restaurant

371 Spadina Ave
Toronto, ON M5T 2G3
(416) 977-4079

Category: Chinese

Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core

12/22/2009

If you don't like MSG, dirty washrooms with 4 foot ceilings, sometimes erratic service, decor that hasn't been updated in 40 years, and potentially having to share a table with some sketchy old Chinese guy Kom Jug Yuen is not for you. However, if…More »

4. Mother India

1456 Queen St W
Toronto, ON M6K 1M2
(416) 588-4634

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Parkdale

3/11/2010 ROTD 10/12/2010

For my 100th review I wanted to pick a place that lived up to the honour and represented exactly the type of restaurant I love. Food that's delicious, cheap, and plentiful. Good vegetarian options. A bit of a hole in the wall. The kind of place that…More »

5. Bitondo's Pizzeria

11 Clinton St
Toronto, ON M6J 2N7
(416) 533-4101

Categories: Pizza, Italian

Neighbourhood: Little Italy

12/22/2009

The pizza here is good, but this place is really all about the panzarotti ($5): a giant pocket of perfect dough, with amazing tomato sauce, and tons of mozzarella. It's almost ridiculous how much cheese is in a Bitondo's panzarotti, it just oozes out…More »

6. King David Pizza

3020 Bathurst St
North York, ON M6B 3B6
(416) 781-1326

Categories: Pizza, Middle Eastern

1/30/2010 First to Review

How has no one Yelped King David yet? For a city that loves falafels it's a travesty that this place isn't well known.

First, it may be called King David Pizza but these guys are all about the falafels. If you eat a lot of falafels downtown you're…More »

Toronto, ON M6P 1A7
(416) 536-3738

Category: Pizza

Neighbourhood: High Park

2/4/2010

Believe the hype kids. King Slice makes the best slice of pizza I've ever had in Toronto. The slices here make a travesty of the pizza at most other pizza joints in the city - Cora, Papa Ceo, I'm talking to you.

For $5 I picked up a giant slice of…More »

(416) 941-1474

Categories: Sandwiches, Middle Eastern

Neighbourhoods: Corktown, Downtown Core

3/11/2010 ROTD 1/28/2011

A four star middle-eastern inspired lunch place elevated to five stars by great atmosphere, amazing apple cake, and the coolest owner ever.

Mystic Muffin has your typical falafel joint options plus things like egg salad and tuna sandwiches. True to…More »

Recently updated lists from Matthew S.

Poutine (8) Fries. Cheese. Gravy. One of the few truly Canadian dishes and probably the greatest food on Earth.	Life in Guelph (9) I've recently moved from Toronto to Guelph. This is a list of some of the places I've discovered here.
East Asian Favourites (9) Japanese, Chinese, and Korean restaurants worth checking out.	My Neighbourhood - Ossington & Bloor (11) I've been living at Ossington & Bloor for a few years now and I love the area. This is a list of places I frequent in the area: restaurants, shops, and services. A work in progress as I try new places and write more reviews.
South of The Border (11) Mexican, Tex-Mex, and all other Latin American or Latin American inspired food.	Eating The Subcontinent (8) Reviews of restaurants representing the cuisine of the Indian Subcontinent: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Places to try at the top, places to avoid at the bottom.
South-East Asian Eats (6) All my Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Malaysian restaurant reviews. Good places at the top, bad places at the bottom.	Breakfast and Brunch (5) I've recently resolved to explore the hippest meal of the day: Brunch. These are my findings in order of goodness.
Eating in the Boonies (6) I'm a born and raised downtown Torontonian and I rarely get out of the city's core. High Park, Eglinton, and the Don River are the rough limits of my Toronto. These are some of the places I've ventured out of my geographical comfort zone to eat at.	Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth (14) My favourite spots for dessert and other sweet things. Whether it's hot chocolate, cake, ice cream, or pie, I'm on it! In rough order of awesomeness.
