Is there anywhere decent to eat close by? Milestones, which is in the same building is really pretty dreadful. Only caveat I have is that I'm a veggie that doesn't eat meat, eggs or dairy. Fish and seafood are fine. Thu Jul 09 10:31:35 -0700 2009 167313 jrabbit2727 1 4843383 There's the new Queen and Beaver pub on Elm... it's by the Crush Wine Bar guy and it's getting quite decent reviews. Although I haven't visited yet so I can't really comment on how suited it may be to accommodate your dietary restrictions (pub food does tend to be meat-centric). Thu Jul 09 10:39:09 -0700 2009 4843365 60563 Rabbit 1 4843404 No offense, but you should just refer to yourself as a pescatarian then. When people say they're vegetarian but still eat seafood, it creates a lot of confusion. If you're willing to walk for 10 mins, you can hit up Beer Bistro at King & Yonge. They have a great selection of mussels. Thu Jul 09 10:44:22 -0700 2009 4843365 14629 aser 1 4843522 Bangkok Gardens and Salad King are both Thai places in the area. I'm sure there are posts which debate their merits. The Queen and Beaver has fish and chips, I don't know if you eat battered fish. Thu Jul 09 11:23:29 -0700 2009 4843365 292028 dubchild 1 4843926 Hadn't thought of Elm street...has anyone been to Le Commensal? It is any good And Aser - actually I'm not a pescatarian as they still eat dairy and eggs - see Wiki definition: Pescetarianism is the practice of a diet that includes seafood and excludes mammals and birds. In addition to fish or shellfish, a pescetarian diet typically includes some or all of vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains, beans, eggs, and dairy. I'm really a vegan that eats fish and seafood if you want to put a correct lable on it. I find that it is always better to spell it out so as not to confuse people. Thu Jul 09 13:12:45 -0700 2009 4843365 167313 jrabbit2727 2 4844817 OK - I probably shouldn't step into this fray, but I thought vegans did not consume animal products... so eating fish (they're animals, right!!) would be verboten. Japango is in that nabe, correct... if you're cool eating fish then this might give you another reputable option in the area. Thu Jul 09 18:22:22 -0700 2009 4843926 60563 Rabbit 2 4846935 Commensal is a paid-by-weight buffet. Although they have a lot of choices and some do taste good, the food may not be the freshest. My friend with a sensitive stomach suffered both times we went, so it's off our list now. And actually by calling yourself vegan or vegetarian and say you eat fish you're already confusing people :-) Edit: how about saying your diet is vegan plus seafood, that's clearer I think. Fri Jul 10 11:52:15 -0700 2009 4843926 13182 Teep 2 4852122 I love Le Commensal, but it's really expensive. Sun Jul 12 18:11:29 -0700 2009 4843926 10681 piccola 1 4846492 I actively update resto's near the Eaton Centre since it so often comes in handy. I highly recommend the Seafood Jambalaya at Harlem. They don't serve any real wine there, but the place is so good I break my must-have-good-wine-list rule for them. Being pescetarian you may also enjoy Rodney's By Bay though I think they're closed Sat's. Worth a call at least. Beer Bistro http://www.beerbistro.com/ George http://www.georgeonqueen.com/menus.asp Harlem http://www.harlemrestaurant.com/ Osteria Ciceri E Tria http://www.thestar.com/living/article/559853 Rodney’s By Bay http://rodneysbybay.com/ Fri Jul 10 10:03:01 -0700 2009 4843365 12072 Googs 2 4846604 Never heard of Harlem before....interesting menu. But I don't see the seafood jambalaya you speak of. I see one that has seafood and chicken and sausage. Is there one that has just seafood? If so....this could for sure work! Fri Jul 10 10:26:41 -0700 2009 4846492 167313 jrabbit2727 3 4846758 Oops. Sorry 'bout that. You might call ahead to see if if can be prepped as seafood only. Perhaps their blackened salmon or cat fish instead? Another must-do is their corn bread. You've never had it until you've had theirs. Check the link to see all the love for the place. Fri Jul 10 11:12:58 -0700 2009 4846604 12072 Googs 2 4870976 Osteria Ciceri e Tria is excellent. Lots of choice and quite a few vegetarian options. Sat Jul 18 20:31:38 -0700 2009 4846492 1088354 fredster1 1 4848589 The Senator Is Very close to the amc . Had fish tacos there recently , should fit your diet. Sat Jul 11 04:55:22 -0700 2009 4843365 267038 zxwaze 2 4854067 I was just going to suggest the exact same thing! The boyfriend and I went there on Friday night, he had the fish tacos and I had the green chile cheeseburger. Both dishes were phenomenal! Excellent service as well, and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back for breakfast sometime!! Mon Jul 13 11:08:22 -0700 2009 4848589 1091147 almond3xtract 3 4855736 Really? I find the Senator way overpriced. Mon Jul 13 19:28:20 -0700 2009 4854067 10681 piccola 4 4857559 I think the prices are fair for the quality you get. $12 for an excellent burger (made with Cumbrae's beef) and fries is pretty competitive. Ditto the club sandwich and fries for the same price. A number of American chains are popping up around Dundas Square serving overpriced, forgettable food; thankfully there are a few independent spots like the Senator still around. Tue Jul 14 10:30:16 -0700 2009 4855736 47882 downtown 5 4884944 I agree with you, downtown. I've never been to Johnny Rocket's or Jack Astors but I would bet money that a burger and fries at either of those places is the same price, if not pricier, than the Senator. Only at the Senator you get fresh food (not frozen or pre-prepped), you support a local business and you are guaranteed great service. Thu Jul 23 13:58:24 -0700 2009 4857559 1091147 almond3xtract 1 4870388 There's a new place in the AMC mall on the 4th floor called Woo - Chinese-based small plates. Yummy, and not too expensive. Worth trying. Sat Jul 18 14:04:17 -0700 2009 4843365 31675 capiscum 2 4871205 woo has been discussed at length and the reviews are not so much mixed but more negative, caution is urged Sun Jul 19 03:25:59 -0700 2009 4870388 111770 robgm 3 4871766 I thought Woo was a buffet? Sun Jul 19 10:44:47 -0700 2009 4871205 16722 paper_bag_princess 4 4872580 Woo is a "buffet and lounge". You can have the trough or order from the menu (which was not ready when they first opened, I believe). Sun Jul 19 18:01:36 -0700 2009 4871766 13182 Teep 3 4872383 I ate there just the other night and thought it was decent. I didn't have buffet, but a la carte small plates. Will go check out the other reviews now.
