Toronto: Cheap Eats


Toronto has many great spots to enjoy a cheap meal. A great place to start is near any of the colleges and universities in the city. Now Magazine has a great guide to cheap eats in the city.
Here are some great options:

Indian

How about $8.99 for Indian buffet? Try Siddhartha!

Italian

Try Pasta PaPa at 76 Gerrard St. E @ Church for lunches and dinners under $10. The specialties are pasta, panini (Italian grilled sandwiches), and personal sized pizza. Also great salads, specialty coffees and desserts. All sauces are made fresh on the premises and there is a great veg selection in each menu catagory  www.pastapapa.ca Near Ryerson University.

Asian Fusion

Kubo Radio at Queen St. East and Logan has a very tasty and generous three-course $20 prix fixe menu.

Latin

Tacos El Asador at Bloor and Christie has Mexican and Salvadorean tacos, burritos, tamale.

BBQ

Black Camel (2 locations: Adelaide and John; Yonge and Rosedale): Pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ chicken sandwiches

Gyros

Messina on the Danforth makes gyros (pork or chicken).  So fresh and tasty with all sorts of fixings, including a few french fries.  And they are open until 3 a.m. for late night cravings.

Thai

Salad King on Gould Street can't easily be beat for cheap and tasty eats that fill you up right. Be sure to try their pad thai, green curry, spring rolls, and cocunut ice cream

Ethiopian

M&B Yummy House on Queen St. West 2 blocks west of Dufferin.Tasty and complex flavours of Ethiopia and reasonable prices. Try the vegetarian platter for a taste of the Wats and Tebs (tomato onion stew and garlicky vegetables) all served with the very good for you Injera (giant pancake bread).
