Near Toronto Western Hospital?

[Lefty]

Out of town Chowhounder meeting 2 others to vist a friend in Toronto Western Hospital, looking for a rec within walking distance (20 minutes?) for a casual dinner and drink. All foods welcome, something unique would be a bonus. thanks

TWH is close to Little Italy, Chinatown and Kensington Market:

Little Italy: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/426343 - you could probably just wander down College Street (west of Bathurst) and find a resto that catches your eye

Chinatown: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/350886 - I rec: King's Noodle, there is also a very filling Korean resto on St. Andrew St. west of Spadina but the name escapes me!

Kensington: can't find a recent thread devoted to Kensington, but if you search the board, it's mentioned in thousands of threads. suggestions: Torito, Supermarket, etc.

The Bellevue Diner (61 Bellevue Ave. at Nassau St.) is also very close by to TWH. I hope it is still there anyways...

I hope your friend recovers well...

Torito and La Palette both on Augusta.

I think if you go west on Dundas yiou will find some Portuguese places.
