The best breakfast for under $10. Generous portions, always accompanied by fresh fruits, and garlic fries that will knock your socks off, not in a garlicky way though. It's like a giant breakfast nook!

This bar has LOADS of character, a great atmosphere and deliciously cheap eats. A great place to celebrate a birthday or just for casual weeknight drinks.

It has been a personal quest to find half decent sushi in downtown Toronto. Bar the uberly expensive places, the only decent sushi i've found has been uptown in Markham or Richmond Hill. But Oyshi is the one exception. For one, the chefs and waitresses are Japanese *GASP* I know! Secondly, they don't offer an all-you-can-eat menu, so their quality is top-notch. The udon noodles get a special mention, they are perfectly cooked every time.

Tried and tested many many times, this a personal fave of myself and all my party animal friends. The place isn't that big, so you'll probably have to wait for a table if you show up after 1am. But it's worth it, I recommend everything on the menu, the fried spicy squid is especially good after a night of drinking :D

I was skeptical that anything could compare to California's sandwiches, but was pleasantly surprised at this great family bakery. Their veal sandwiches have all the flavour, the only thing lacking is the crispiness of a freshly fried veal cutlet. In addition to sandwiches, they make fresh lasagnas, pizzas, sausage & peppers and tonnes of bakery items daily. Great lunch spot, or to take-out, they're hidden the corner of a strip plaza, so keep your eyes peeled.

The food is delicious. Mostly Chinese offerings, some of the "meat replacements" will play tricks with your taste buds. Definitely a hidden gem in Kensington. My sister is the biggest carnivore, and this is her favourite veg restaurant in town!

Nice atmosphere, not too pricey, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I kid you not, breakfast for like $4 bucks! Also, cheap avocado salad, sandwiches, all kinds of good things, they always use fresh ingredients--which is what i'm always wary of when the food is cheap. You won't be disappointed!

I go for the onion rings. The burgers are pretty good too.

For all South Indian vegetarian lovers, the paper masala dosas are huge, the sambar tastes pretty darn authentic. Very casual, lots of tables, it's one of the few restaurants on Gerard St. that doesn't disappoint!
