Where does one find a good meal in Toronto with $5 and a metropass?

___(name of dish)___ at ____(restaurant name and address)____

[piccola]

$5 vegan box at South Indian Dosa Mahal near Bloor/Lansdowne. Two curries and rice. (You can get three pakoras for $1.)

[prima]

A mini veal or chicken sandwich at California Sandwiches' Dufferin Street location. Guess you could check the ttc website to see what buses would get you there, besides the Dufferin St bus. Not sure if it's available at other locations.

Sausage of the day on a bun at Sausage King at St Lawrence Market. King or Union Station.

Spanakopita, tyropita or creatopita at Athen's Pastries (on the Danforth near Chester Station, or on Vic Park north of the 401- could check ttc website for buses that service the Vic Park location).

You can check out Quiznos they have $5 dollar deals. I do not know where you're located to I can not tell you an address.

If you're ever in Rexdale - transcendental doubles at Drupati's or Lena's at Albion/Islington, amazing pupusas At Mi Pueblo at Weston/Sheppard area.

[mariecollins]

Any of the Ali Babas locations or Sultan Shwarma on the Danforth for good Falafel. Fresh Ginger at Yonge and Eglinton for Vietnamese.

I posted this on another page too...sobeys at college and bay has a proscuitto/bocconcini/arugula sandwich on a ciabatta for 5.99. They will heat it there and there is seating at college park. It is amazing. I had it twice last week. i take mine home and microwave it ( I like soft bread) and everything melts together.

I second the ginger baguette. Also love the hot and sour shrimp soup and tempura yam and avocado cold rolls.

Patty and Coco Bread with a Ting at Randy's Patties at 1569 Eglinton Avenue West (Eglinton West Subway)

[bonefreakchef]

BBQ pork on rice at Kom Jug Yuen on Spadina. Or even better, their roast pork and tofu on rice.

[magic]

Chicken Baguette at Ginger, 546 Church St. - $4.

Heaven.

2 minute walk from Wellesley subway station on Yonge subway line.

[Gary]

Gale's Snack Bar, a diner at 539 Eastern Ave. Fish and chips $3.25. Club sandwich $2.50. Have one of those, then splurge on a 60 cent coffee. Insanity. http://www.foodpr0n.com/2010/02/09/ga...

[atomeyes]

that place scares me. i drive by and swear that its condemned.
was thinking last week "i'd love to buy that space and open a resto in it"

[garfield]

Lunch special(Jerk Chicken+Rice) at tasty's carribean takeout 4 elm street (Dundas Subway)

[julesrules]

How does it compare to Ritz Caribbean just south on Yonge?

[garfield]

The portions are smaller, but I prefer Tasty's . the chicken is moist and flavorful. For 3.99 +tax you get chicken and rice. 50 cents extra for coleslaw.

You could get TWO Viet Subs in China town for $5 (spadina or broadview)... Broadview I would go to Roses, on Spadina there are a few options but I usually stick with the two just north of dundas on the west side...

Also speaking of Chinatown I'm sure King's Noodle has a $5 plate.

[jennjen18]

I know King's has noodle specials for about $3.50 ... and it'd be like wonton, or brisket... depending on the day.

Yes, banh mi as well, in Chinatown - I go to Nuygen Hong... $2.50 for one, I think?

[foodiction2]

Yeah if you like congee you can get that plus the fried dough stick for $4.50+tax and tip I believe @ king noodle + probably other places

[Luvtooeat]

Burger King maybe

[Charles Yu]

Not necessarily! I had a charbroiled 8 0z burger with all the trimming at ' Esquire steak and Grill ' for only $4.55!! Much better than Burger King! Great fries too if you can dish out a couple more bucks! Address is SE corner of Sheppard and Vic Park.
