Food around UofT

Food has nothing to do with I.T.directly but we do need to refuel and we do like to eat. Sometimes we like to step out of the office for a bite and every once in a while we get stuck trying to figure out where to go and what to have. I decided to compile a list of some places nearby where we like to nosh for those times when we just know what to have.

Massimo's - Pizza, calzone, pasta, veal sandwiches. One of my faves for 25 years. On College, north side about a block west of Spadina.
Peter's Chung King - CLOSED! Another favourite. By far the best-selling dish is one of their lunch specials: Spicy Chicken with Peanuts and rice . .you get your choice of soup included. I like the Hot and Sour. College and Spadina, south-west side.
Thai Angels - Just a couple of doors west from Peter's. Relatively new to the area.
SaiGon Palace - West side of Spadina a few doors south of College. Great Vietnamese food. I like the Curry Chicken Soup (#22 on the menu I think).
Burger King - South east corner of College and Spadina.
Mr. Sub - On College and Spadina, south-east side.
Simon's Sushi - Spadina, east side, few doors south of Spadina. Always busy.
Kam Jugs - Cheap and cheerful Chinese . .well cheap at least. Walk south along Spadina on east side.
Back Alley - Kensington area on Augusta, west side. Woodfire BBQ and Grill.
Swiss Chalet - There are two of them that I know of. One is in the Hydro building on the south-west corner of College and University. It's downstairs just past the food court. The other one is on Bloor just west of Spadina on the north side.
Like Tapas? - Take the Tapas Tour. Check out this article in the Toronto Star from July 2009.

  1. I like Veda (healthy indian) in the basement of the Sandford Flemming Building. Sadly, they are closed for summer renovations - but back in the fall. Very yummy.
