    Lemon brew
    Jenelle C.

    This is such a cute spot! The food was very tasty. Highly recommend the Mediterranean bowl to which I added a chicken breast to. Portion size with a little small for the price, but the ingredients are fresh. The lemon brew was also so delicious and refreshing. I look forward to trying other items off the menu. Would definitely recommend!

    Iced Toronto Fog

    Everything about this place screams fresh, healthy and clean. The ambiance of the restaurant reflects the food with clean lines and minimalist decor. The food is good. The service is good. I've now gotten both eat in and take out and tried everything from steak and mac n cheese to tofu and quinoa. Each main and side comes with tons of flavour. It's food you can feel good about eating and enjoy at the same time. Also, the maple ginger lemonade is delish! The only downfall is it can be a bit expensive. That and the iced Toronto fog felt watery to me.

    Flank steak with sides of roasted sweet potatoes and grilled broccoli.

    I have lived in the area for years and have been meaning to try this place out for a while now, but have just never got around to it. Well, yesterday I finally checked it out and I'm glad I did. The main concept is mix-and-match a protein with various sides. You can also just get some side dishes if you are so inclined. You enter your order at the front and wait for your order to be called. It's a relatively quick process and takes around 10 minutes. I ordered my food for takeout, but they have both indoor and outdoor seating available if you want to eat-in. The food is fresh. I ordered flank steak with two sides of roasted sweet potatoes and grilled broccoli. The steak was cooked well and quite tender. My only gripe is that I felt there was not enough of it. The sides on the other hand were quite plentiful. Both the sweet potatoes and broccoli were ideally cooked with a nice amount of seasoning. The sides were actually probably the star of he meal. Overall, wholesome tasty food. I would just like a bigger serving of protein.

    Mini freezer of grab-and-go grocery items (salmon burger patties, cookie doughs, etc.)

    Mary Be Kitchen is heaven for clean and healthy eating. The interior is modern and bright, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. This place tends to be busy all the time, and even more so during peak meal times (lunch period on weekdays, brunch hours on weekends). It can get pretty loud inside and getting a table is first come, first served. A lot of people come to pick up take-out orders (which you can place online for convenience). There is a separate line for take-out order pick-ups, and a different line for placing dine-in orders. In addition to the open-space dining area, they have a small grab-and-go fridge and freezer for housemade grocery items such as soups, stews, salmon burger patties, granola, guacamole, ready-to-bake cookie doughs, etc. The menu is simple - you get to pick combos, individual items, or a mix of their protein, salads, stews, and side offerings. Vegan and vegetarian options are plenty. My favourite sides are the Kale & Red Cabbage Caesar Salad (with Greek yogurt dressing instead of the typical Caesar salad dressing), roasted sweet potatoes, masala-roasted cauliflower (with roasted red onions and fresh cilantro), and grilled broccoli. If you want something warm, they have stews (such as the vegan Red Lentil Dal and seasonal soup). Review of the menu items tried: 1) Grilled Salmon - Perfectly crisp on the outside and velvety well done in the inside. Perfect portion (not too big and not too small either). 2) Kale & Red Cabbage Caesar Salad - The sunflower seeds gave a nice crunch, and the Greek yogurt dressing was tangy. 3) Masala-Roasted Cauliflower - LOVE this side! The roasted red onions and fresh cilantro complemented the cauliflower really well, and I could taste the masala in every bite. 4) Roasted Sweet Potatoes - Smooth, with skin on. It came with "sunshine sauce" which was spicy, but luckily they served this on the side by default. 5) Red Lentil Dal - It came in a good-sized bowl, with a layer of turmeric rice underneath and served with fresh cilantro. Perfect for winter when you want something warm and soothing. On the weekends, they have a special brunch menu. Everything can be made vegan by substituting eggs with tofu, and you can customize each dish with sides / add-ons. Drinks selection includes smoothies, lattes, and assorted coffee and tea.

    Flank steak, sour dough, grilled tofu, sweet potato, greens

    Delicious, high-quality whole foods that are both healthy and satisfying. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but for the quality and clean ingredients, it feels worth it as an occasional treat. A great spot when you want something nourishing without sacrificing flavor.

    Chicken with 2 sides $20

    Ordered takeout and the food was delicious! The chicken was an extra dollar, and it came with two sides. Picked the toasted cauliflower and the mac and cheese

    This is such a friendly place to enjoy breakfast. There is ample indoor seating as well as a couple of tables outside. It's bright and cheerful, with several gluten-free options for meals as well as desserts. I ordered the lavender latte with almond milk, and it was delicious. I also ordered the weekender meal with poached eggs, adding locally smoked salmon, and subbing gluten-free toast. I was impressed with everything on my plate, and took the salad, and part of the salmon and sweet potatoes home because I was so full. I bought a morning glory cookie to try later. I am actually eating it now, and it is so moist and delicious! I am enjoying the contrast between the chewy inside and the crunchy outside. I enjoyed the salad for lunch, and loved the contrasts between the different parts of it. It wasn't just dressed lettuce. It also had shredded carrots, slivers of fresh asparagus, and was topped with pepitas.

    I ordered the jasmine tea Lemonade and this was tasty in the summer heat. it was on the sour side but that's how it was likely meant to be. i wish there was an option to sweeten it because I prefer sweeter drinks. I also tried the sweet potato brownie which just tasted like any brownie but pretty chocolatey and thick.

    Be Square combo - 1 protein (chicken breast with salsa verde) + 2 sides (grilled asparagus salad and turmeric rice)
    Evelyn S.

    --The Down Low-- Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Quality vs. Price: 5/5 Vibe: 4.5/5 I came here on a Sunday around noon for lunch with a group of friends. The eatery runs on an order-and-sit style format, so seating is first-come-first-served and no reservations are taken. After ordering at the counter, you will get an order number for your table and staff will bring the food to you. Staff were kind, patient, and delivered great service! I ordered the Be Square combo (1 protein + 2 sides), with the chicken breast and salsa verde for protein, as well as the grilled asparagus salad and the turmeric rice for the sides. Portion sizes were extremely generous! The taste was satisfying and felt akin to enjoying a nice homecooked meal. I did not feel any heaviness or discomfort, even with such a large serving size. The atmosphere was really nice. Decor was cheerful and cozy, and I found the layout intuitive to navigate. Washrooms were also well-kept. There is a decent amount of seating indoors and on a small outdoor area, but was quite full when I went. Given that seating is self-served, the only drawback I would comment on is that the seating available was not the most efficiently used because there would be empty seats at tables that were occupied by one or two customers, so larger groups may have trouble finding seats together. The total cost came to about $24 CAD. I would say it is a bit more expensive as a casual lunch spot, considering the order-and-sit format - as opposed to a full-service restaurant; however, the price is on par with a typical weekend brunch and the quality and preparation of the food, as well as the large portion size, justify the price in my opinion. I enjoyed my experience at this eatery and would definitely come again if I was in the area!

    Avo smash toast with poached egg
    Shirley C.

    Wow. A clean modern cafe with tons of wholesome nutritious menu offerings, vegan and bakery options in Toronto? It really exists and it's at Mary Be Kitchen. Love the expansive interior dining room and covered open patio option. The service here is genuine and lovely. People enjoy working here and it shows. Lots of options for bakery, breakfast, lunch entrees and anything in between. Tried the avo smash breakfast with poached egg and earl grey tea. Service to your table. Dine at your leisure to the start of an awesome day. Zen like experience. See you again soon!

    Chocolate chip cookie
    Emma N.

    What a lovely place! Came here for brunch with my friends, and I absolutely adored it. The service is quick, the food is very affordable, and delicious! I ordered the smashed avo plate which came with grilled tofu. I really liked it, and I especially liked how this place did not skimp on the amount of avocado. The grilled tofu was also super unique and provided a great vegan option :) My favourite thing was the chocolate chip cookie. I won't lie, I have my fair share of CCC throughout my life, but this one was possibly the best cookie I've ever had. It was so fresh, with a little bit of crunch but a nice chew, it wasn't too thin but it wasn't too dense, nor was it too sweet. It was a perfect combination of gooey yet it still had structure. I would come again just for that cookie!! The ambience was also super nice, and there was no rush to get up to leave. I would definitely come here again!! 10/10 :)

    Ok, so I was recommended this place by a friend of mine. And I wasn't expecting much because I was just looking to pick up food and go. To be honest my first impression of this place was pretty cool, cafe~like, sit yourself down and have a coffeee, do some work, catch up with an old friend type vibe. Or grab lunch on the go. Either way. I could kick with it! Anyways I came in and ordered a protein with two sides. I got the chicken, Mac n cheese and the chopped winter salad. Mmm! I also ordered an iced coffeee on the side. (They even offer almond milk on the side!) Everything was super healthy. Clean. And I appreciate options such as these in the city. I recommend this place if you're looking to grab healthy eats and/or a quick lunch with a friend. This place is environmentally friendly! Their straws are biodegradable. They don't use plastic bags for take out, and their boxes are recyclable! They have a water dispenser at the cutlery area and support less waste :) I appreciate the small things and details about places like this! 5/5!

    Spring chopped salad, steak, and roasted sweet potatoes. Seasonal maple ginger lemonade.
    Daniel Y.

    What a cute restaurant! The decor is inviting and comfortable with a couch and patio area for people watching. The staff are super friendly which probably doesn't mean much in Canada. But when your city jokes about it being the City of Brotherly Shove, the friendliness, helpfulness, and kindness is a much appreciated change. Now, great service doesn't mean anything if the food isn't good as well. But here, Mary Be food that is not only health and nutritious, but portions that are balanced and correctly sized.

    Salmon, kale and cabbage Caesar, grilled broccoli. SO GOOD

Every bite was bursting with the aroma of the fat. The six courses cost a total of 115 pence, and the servers didn't neglect the guests despite the lack of a tipping policy.

This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either.

We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again!

They were surprisingly meaty, and tasted decent. They would probably make a good sharing item for the table as they were quite salty. Now, if this were a taqueria, I would not be impressed with the tacos. So if you are expecting "proper" tacos, don't order them. Go to a taqueria, lol. But this is a corporate chain pub in a city, whose main goal is to make a large swathe of people happy. So within this context, I think they did a good job.

The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes!

But after a long day and an even busier evening, I got back to the hotel famished. My brain was incapable of processing decisions and when I saw how busy this corner of the Sheraton was, I decided this was it. I grabbed a seat at the bar, ordered a drink, and listened to a podcast to wind down. It was exactly what I needed. The drink, Nutty Times, was not only delicious but the presentation was exciting too. The bartender was witty, he advised everyone near us at the bar to whip out our phones, because he was about to put on a show. Check out the video I added! After a while, my anxiety from the day began to wear off and it was time to eat. I asked if I was able to take it up to my room as a to-go order and they said that was no-go. Something about the presentation and how you had to be there for it. I don't know about that. I ordered the Atlantic salt cod (fried cod balls) and while they were super good, the presentation left me thinking, "I could have totally eaten this in my giant robe in bed."
