Tips for Dining, Eating and Food Shopping in Ontario (including Toronto and Ottawa)
Start New ThreadI'll be driving from Montreal to Toronto this coming Saturday (May 9) and will
be around Kingston lunchtime. Any suggestions for a good local place (no chains) serving light lunches (soups, salads, sandwiches) not too far from the 401. Thanks.

Well if you want to go right into Kingston down by the waterfront there is really only one place. Chez Piggy 68 Princess Street 613 549-7673...http://www.chezpiggy.com/ . I've been going there since my Queen's college days in the 80's and always drop by anytime I'm back in Kingston. Situated in an old limestone stable, the historic surroundings only serve to compliment the tasty fare. Never disappointed. Up by the highway you'll run mostly into fast-food chains.

There was just a posting on this last week or the week before -- if you search back a bit there were lots of good responses for places in Kingston

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the posting and now have several interesting sounding choices for lunch.

When I was going to school at Queen's, my favorite place for a quick and delicious lunch was at the Swedish Fry Truck which is located on campus at very end of Division street. They have great sandwiches and their potato salad is very good. My favorite is the turkey sandwich with potato salad on top. As for distance from the 401, it's very close. Just take the Division street exit (I believe it's exit 617) and head all the way down Division Street to the end. The Swedish Fry truck should be there at the intersection.
