Went here for Allison's birthday since she wanted Greek food. Randomly picked a restaurant that neither of us had been to before and one that had somewhat of a line.
The food was delicious. We got the chicken and pork tenderloin souvlaki. Both of which were surprisingly tender. I don't think I've ever had souvlaki that wasn't very tough. I feel like I have been missing out all this time!
Dinner comes with complimentary bread (which we got refills on) and it even came with a free slice of cake! We got the small versions which I didn't feel was enough for me, but seemed fine for Allison. I would return!
Greg's Ice Cream (Bloor / Spadina)
A small ice cream shop located on the southwest corner of Bloor and Spadina. Best known for their roast marshmellow ice cream. Yes, roasted marshmellow. I have successfully converted 2 people to this flavor, but I still like to try some of their other flavours. They also have a shop in the Distillery District. I'd recommend stopping by to give this a try if you are in the area.
Jelly Modern Doughnuts (College / Spadina)
Located slight west of Spadina is Jelly Modern Doughnuts. We stopped by as we were walking to Castle Board Game Cafe for a snack. Very bright and open area. Their doughnuts have won some awards although I can't really recall any major doughnuts shops here. They come in two sizes, a small and a large. I forget what they called them, but basically your typical doughnut (small) and a pretty large doughnut (large).
The small was $2.50 each and I don't recall the price of the large. At this price, I think it is a bit much, although they were pretty tasty.
I'm not sure I would return due to the price.
Lee Garden (Spadina)
Staple Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Well known about the locals and winning a lot of awards (you can see the list on their wall) it is a good Chinese restaurant.
We had 6 dishes and they were all pretty good. Portions were good, everything came out quick and hot as expected. Food seems a bit expensive for what we got, but everything tasted good, so it isn't a big deal. Came out to roughly $100 after tax/tip for everything.
I have been here a few times within the past year and I have never been disappointed and I would return. Although do make sure they have what you want because I have come here a few times and had a few items sold out.
