Food Scene
Our Favorite Beaches Spots!
/Middle Eastern: Limon- everything on the menu is delicious. A local spot, our fave resto with the kids too. Best hummus in the area. Great wines and service too. Probably one of our favourite restaurants.
Italian: we have a few locals, our fave is La Sala, owner is a hoot! we also have one down the road (Vivetha) vibe is nothing great but food is good and location to our house can't be beat. They have gluten free pasta too. A new pizza spot just opened up too in our hood that everyone is raving about: Otherside Pizza. We also order takeout way too regularly from this pizza/Italian spot: Libretto
Thai: Two good spots on Kingston road (North up the road) Jatujak and Sisaket. More lunch/takeout spots but very yum. The ones on Queen close to us (Thai house) are more mediocre.
Other spots worth checking out in our area:
Xola- real deal "gourmet" mexican, small menu a bit pricey (5 min walk)
Ed's- best ice cream and hot chocolate! (5 min walk)
Tori's- yummy vegan bakery (7 min walk)
Beech Tree- local, cozy, romantic spot on Kingston Road (7 min walk)
Mira Mira- trendy, good cocktails (15 min walk)
Immigrante- trendy, Latin tapas style spot (15 min walk)
Trendy yet laidback, incredible tapas. One of the best restaurants in the city.
