Where to find the BEST Eggplant Parmesan in TO?

[kwass]

I'm currently having a love affair with Eggplant Parmesan. My 2 favourites are from Camarra's and Pizzeria Via Mercanti. Does anyone know what other restaurants make really good eggplant parmesan?

I've had Buca's on several occasions - it has always been on the menu when I am there - and it is phenomenal. It is a small starter portion though.

Ok. Buca is definitely on my list! Thank you so much!

Highly recommend Alimento. Light, delicious and well-priced.

I remember having one from 7 Numbers Danforth. It was good, but not their best item on the menu.

[kwass]

Never even thought of Alimento. Do they have it every day?

[happycamper]

I am pretty sure they do. Menus don't change regularly, and I had it a few weeks ago.

[kwass]

Wonderful! I'm going to check it out!!

United Bakery in Lawrence Plaza does a pretty good one.

I also like 7 Numbers version. It's a little on the mushy side but the sauce makes up for it.

Another very good one is Summerhill Market if you prefer to relax at home instead.

I've also heard that Rossini's is good for EP but have not tried it myself.

Great suggestions millygirl. In general, I'm not a fan of United Bakery. Is their eggplant parmesan really worth trying?

[millygirl]

I suppose it's not worth a special trip but it is one of the better items on the menu.

To be honest though, aren't they all pretty much the same? What makes the 2 you mentioned special Kwass?

[kwass]

They both just melt in your mouth. The eggplant is soft, not breaded, and the dishes are put together perfectly, with the perfect ratio of all of the ingredients. The eggplant parmesan @ Camarra's is particularly delicious. It's probably one of the best items on their menu...so good, I dream about it from time to time (lol).

[kwass]

I forgot to mention, that the eggplant parmesan @ both of those places are very light, whereas eggplant parmesan can have the tendency to be heavy.

[millygirl]

You would probably really like 7 Numbers version then because I find it very light.

United - it's been a couple of years since I've ordered it so I'm really not sure now. Having said that, if I find myself there for dinner - which is very rare - that is what I'd order.

I'd say that Summerhill Market is the heaviest of the ones I've mentioned but that's because it has the most cheese and it is very yummy indeed.

NOw you have me craving it. LOL

[kwass]

I bet!! What's better than a really good eggplant parm!!

And thanks for the 7 numbers rec...I will definitely try it!!

[kwass]

And you know what...your Summerhill Market recommendation reminds me that Pusateri's makes a really good eggplant parm as well!!

Maybe Buca? Could call to see if/when it's on the menu.

Looking fwd to hearing other suggestions.

[kwass]

It isn't a regular menu item?

[prima]

Not sure, haven't been for a while, and I don't remember it being on the menu on my last visit. Buca doesn't post a regular menu online, just specials thru twitter. Maybe someone who has dined at Buca recently can let us know if it's on the current menu.

[kwass]

Ok. Thanks Prima!

Sandwich?

[kwass]

No. Eggplant parmesan as an appetizer or as an entree.
