Sun Aug 09 08:44:54 -0700 2009 174519 Ediblethoughts 1 4930502 You might try Linda, in the new Don Mills complex right at Don Mills and Lawrence. Many posts on it on this board. Hands on Thai food with a decent wine list and many dishes you won't find elsewhere. Good service, nice presentations, and not overly high end prices. You might want to be direct about your table though, as there are some that are not so well-located. Sun Aug 09 08:50:44 -0700 2009 4930494 80671 Snarf 2 4930799 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll see if we can find it--a pity they don't have an online menu. I always like to peruse first.. Sun Aug 09 11:09:43 -0700 2009 4930502 174519 Ediblethoughts 3 4930849 Here's the online menu. No prices, unfortunately, but I seem to recall the apps being under 10 for the most part, and mains in the teens, apart from the specialty dishes. http://www.lindarestaurant.com/mms/menus.asp?menu=2 Sun Aug 09 11:29:13 -0700 2009 4930799 80671 Snarf 4 4934190 Is Hands on Thai the same as Lindas? Mon Aug 10 14:25:33 -0700 2009 4930849 174519 Ediblethoughts 5 4934659 I don't believe so. I know they are connected to Salad King downtown, which I haven't tried, but which seems to be popular. Mon Aug 10 16:54:21 -0700 2009 4934190 80671 Snarf 1 4930929 There is also Island Foods if you're in the mood for casual Caribbean food. It's on Don Mills, just a few blocks south of York Mills. Sun Aug 09 12:07:10 -0700 2009 4930494 12124 TorontoJo 2 4930948 Island foods is very good, but I don't think this 'branch' is licenced, if that makes a difference. Sun Aug 09 12:14:01 -0700 2009 4930929 80671 Snarf 3 4934195 Yeah, I don't think it is either and it's not open on Sundays... Mon Aug 10 14:26:04 -0700 2009 4930948 174519 Ediblethoughts 4 4934688 For a simple, diner type meal, I really like Windfields. It is on York Mills, just east of Leslie in the first plaza. Mon Aug 10 17:05:44 -0700 2009 4934195 14159 sherry f 5 4934693 Have never dined at Windfields, what should I expect? Mon Aug 10 17:08:24 -0700 2009 4934688 172907 spine64 6 4934705 Simple, basic , good diner food. Like many family run restaurants, I think the owners are Greek. There are souvlaki items, greek salads, club sandwiches, omelets, burgers, chicken. Mon Aug 10 17:12:00 -0700 2009 4934693 14159 sherry f 6 4935177 Nothing special. I ate there maybe two years ago, and what I remember is feeling that nothing quite hit the mark. I never went back, even though it's a one-minute drive from my work. I second the recommendation for Island Foods on Don Mills. For fish and chips, there's High Street, near Lawrence & DVP. Also, Congee Queen on Don Mills, between Eglinton & Lawrence has some good dishes, at reasonable prices. Linda, to me, is overpriced and not as good as I hoped, but there have been favourable reports, and maybe things have improved. Mon Aug 10 19:58:56 -0700 2009 4934693 19782 Full tummy
