Fresh, healthy and filling! I've been here a couple of times now and it's a fantastic option for anyone looking for a filling and substantial meal that isn't your typical fast food. First off - the food in the menu photographs beautifully. The menu looks SO appetizing! I got the vegetarian grilled panini and it was huge!! It also came with a soup (two options, I got the tomato and sweet potato), so at $14 it was a great value. My colleague got a steak and smoked cheese panini which looked incredible as well, and the toppings and sandwiches were just SO fresh. They don't skimp out on the good stuff either, lots of tasty goat cheese on my sandwich...I'm drooling just remembering it! There is a seating area so you can dine in, or take your food to go. The service was friendly and efficient, you can tell they care about the food they're preparing. One thing I will mention - it's MESSY! Make sure you get napkins! read more

Recently discovered Porta Via on ubereats when I was looking for a new and hopefully healthy place for lunch and I'm so happy I found this place!! Ordered the chicken avocado wrap with salad AGAIN for lunch and I still love it. The food feels clean and healthy, and the salad is actually a generous portion with a tiny dressing (to keep my calories in check) Wish they could add healthy smoothies to the menu tho. read more

Porta Via - Chicken avocado wrap with salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Excellent! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 The staff were very kind and patient while our food was prepared. Answering all the questions that I had (is this dairy- free? Lol) and offering substitutions if there was something I couldn't have or if I preferred different ingredients in the sandwich. Ordered a spicy steak and avocado wrap and damn was it good! Tasted so fresh. The steak was slightly pink, so it was tender and easy to eat. Not tough. Came with a soup that changes daily. Overall great meal and a great experience. We'll be back for sure! read more

Porta Via - Spicy steak and avocado wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Fresh, quick, healthy! Came by for lunch takeout as I was lucky to have a day off - they are only open weekday lunches. Seems like a popular spot for nearby staff on their breaks grabbing takeout. Plenty of seating inside and noticed it was clean and bright. Super friendly as well! I guess they noticed it was my first time there and asked if I needed any help with the menu. Plenty of options for both the main sandwich and salad selections. Got the chicken avocado wrap with the spring mix. For 11.75, I was happy with what I got. The wrap was tightly packed and held well throughout. Chicken was not dry, and went well with the avocado, peppers and tomato among other toppings. Salad greens were fresh and was a generous portion. Parking might be harder to find during peak hours but otherwise its pretty easy to find just off Woodbine & 7. Will be back! read more

Porta Via - Chicken avocado wrap (w. spring mix) - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is the newest location of Porta Via. I am happy that they opens up in Markham, as now I have another options if I want to have a healthy lunch option. Soup and Sandwich at $8.75 and with an extra soup $10.75. There are usually 2 soups to choose from one Vegan and the other is usually vegetarian.. great if you has special dietary requirement. There are quite a good selections of panini and you can get the kind of bread you would like... Salad/Beet Soup/Beef with Brie on Francese Bread - Salad is smallish... the vinaigrette dressing is quite nice and tangy - Soup is beet puree seasoned with a hint of black pepper, really simple - I love my Francese Bread, so crusty... the in house roasted beef is quite moist and lean... - It will be more perfect if the sandwich has left in the grill a little longer The deco is clean and simple. The disposable metal look alike plastic utensils would be nice if they are real utensils for eat in patrons. A little pricey than my usual lunch but I guess that's the price one pay for good and healthy ingredients! Luckily they accepts all credit cards.. at least I still can pay for my lunch! read more

FOOD: Great place for getting something healthy and fresh! They make their own sauces and they have many from which you can choose! They offer a wide range of meat, vegetarian, and vegan options! They have many toppings and salad options. You can get a sandwich, soup, salad, or salad and grain bowl. Everything is made from scratch with nothing added which I love! It tasted really healthy and loved it! I got the salad and grain bowl which came out to $11.30. I got to pick a grain and salad base of my choice. It also came with 5 Veggie toppings that I got to pick and protein is extra. STAFF: Super helpful and friendly! Explained the menu and was patient! Great service!! SPACE: Medium sized store with limited spots to sit and eat. Modern looking store but parking is difficult during peak hours as it's limited. I wish they were open for more hours especially dinner time as well! read more

I was introduced to Porta via by a coworker who said that there were lots of healthy fresh food options close to work. Bonus to even have vegan options!!! Everything is so so so fresh and the portions here are amazing! I never go back to work feeling hungry or grossed out or greasy after having a meal here. I love their tofu wrap - it is a bit spicy but you can always ask for a different spread/sauce. They even have complimentary coffee. The staff here are also incredibly friendly. A must visit!! read more

Looking for something lighter nap stumbled into this little gem on woodbine. Atmosphere is nothing to rave about but for the size of the establishment t there is a good amount of seating if you want to dine in. For take out, they are very efficient in getting you sorted about. Start to finish I was in and out in under 10 min. Ordered a the quinoa/kale/rice base with feta, cucumber, tomato, olives and pumpkin seeds. Added spicy chicken as my meat option on top and topped with balsamic as the dressing. You can opt in for a soup in your combo that saves you a dollar vs buying it separate. I went for the tomato soup and it was a nice creamy soup with a touch of spice in it. All in, wasn't the cheapest salad out there at $17 but it was delicious. read more

I used to work in the neighborhood and came here quite often.. even though there are many lunch establishments available in the area This place proves that healthy eating can taste amazing! Simple menu, fresh ingredients, great variety and focus on customer service kept me returning for some great meals. Plus - they focus on people with dietary requirements. Something that's lacking in many restaurants today... Granted the meal could get a little costly i.e. (the $10 mark) for a sandwich with soup/salad, I found it more worthwhile than visiting a typical cookie cutter Subway franchise. Totally encourage you to visit.... They do have odd store hours though so check first. read more

I liked it. I'm not usually looking for soup or salad when I go out for lunch. More of a burger guy. But this place is alright. Everything fresh, and a lot of options on the salad to choose from so you get pretty much what you want. Salad was huge, I was not expecting that.. they also have a couple of different soup offering each day. Which are interesting sounding, they had the Thai Curried carrot so I had that, very tasty. Next time through I'll give one of their panini a try, they all sound tasty. read more

Fresh ingredients. Great soups. Mango dressing is amazing! Customer Service is top notch. Highly Recommend! read more

I love these custom built salad and sandwich places. I got my kale and brown rice fix. The free coffee is a nice touch (although I didn't try it, so I can't vouch for its quality). But I wonder why it's free, but the only water is bottled and you have to pay for it. The portions are huge; my husband and I could have split a salad and been full. I have one food concern - what's prepared on the same grill. I didn't check whether they have a panini press to separate gluten. I'm also allergic to eggplant, so I avoided all the grilled veggies. But I also didn't ask. read more

New gem!! Super fresh and delicious!! Price is great with a soup and sandwich only $13. Definitely a healthier choice around here. read more

Porta Via - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I have eaten at this location many times and I am always completely satisfied with the quality and quantity of the food, All the ingredients are fresh and the soups are so tasty. It is an excellent healthy "fast" food option, without the fast-food grease and heavy feeling afterwards. The owner is a friendly man and you can tell that he truly cares about his business. I wish the price was more kind on the wallet, but sometimes you have to pay for quality. My favourite paninis are the Premium Smoked Salmon, Tuscan Chicken & Bistro Beef and Brie... but I still have quite a few more on the menu on my list to try :) I hope this place stays for the long haul, it's a great work lunch option! read more

Fresh ingredients, good selection of toppings (I had the salad). Perfect for quick lunch in the area!

Just went here for an early dinner, they're open til 7. I did not expect the interior to be so nice, and the food was also presented really well! I had the bistro beef & brie panini, roasted red pepper & sweet potato soup, and a salad that came in the set. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves sandwiches! I'll just go ahead and say it, I think it's better than Panera bread, who's known for their sandwiches; just putting it out there, cause there's such a huge variety. I also got the Groupon deal for this, so it was an awesome deal, it was basically buy one set get one free. The service was also really great, our server who I assume is the manager, was really polite and just gave us really great service. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Recently catered a corporate lunch event for about 25 people. We ordered an assorted panini platter with 3 large salads (Kale, Mediterranean and Porto via insalata). The food was delicious, fresh and very reasonably priced for quality food. The participants all loved it. Even the utensils that were supplied were nice for a corporate event. They were plastic forks that looked like silverware. Fancy! This will be our go-to catering for future events. read more

This place definitely has room for improvement. The items on the menu looked great so i was looking forward to use my groupon. i asked the staff if i can use my groupon on two duo items and she looked at my groupon and confirmed ok. so i ordered the chicken with carmelizes onions on whole wheat. she said they dont have any carmelized onion so i have to choose another vegetable available on the counter. fine, and so i did, but she didnt offer to make new ones nor did she apologize. for my second sandwich I ordered another item on whole wheat bread, and they told me they don't have anymore (the last one was used on the first sandwich). so again I had to settled for whatever they have available. then comes paying. the second staff looked at my groupon and said its expired so I have to pay for te other meal . ok my bad I thought it was expiring 3 days later (it was actually 3 days earlier!). also, the staff did check my groupon before I ordered and confirmed its ok. the girl who confirmed it was ok then said she only read te first line and didn't read the expiry date. but again she wasn't apologetic at all. so I argued I only ordered the 2nd sandwich because she said I can. anyway, so they ran to their boss (who was sitting at the table wth his laptop not caring what was going on) . they spoke in another language and she came back and said sorry I have to pay for the 2nd sandwich and she already made the sandwich. I said no, I'm not paying for their mistakes. so again they ran to their boss speaking another language and then came back and just said ok, I'll just take one duo (sandwich plus soup) . so the value of this meal is only 8.75 . I paid 10 dollars to groupon for 20 dollars value. anyway, they said I have to pay the tax because even though I paid groupon 10, it does not include the tax. what does that mean? I overpaid on this meal. I paid a total of 11.14 on this meal. omg now that I think about it..1.14 is too much tax on 8.75. I admit its my fault for not double checking the groupon, but they also verified it and i assume you can trust the company!!!? I wanted to go to their website and write a complaint but there isn't anywhere where I can write a complaint to their head office. the manager just didn't care enough. oh sorry, and to top it off, they said I must dine in because that's what the groupon said. give me a break. you can't even fulfill your company requirements (no supply for the sandwiches I ordered) and you expect me to follow te rules?!! Yes this place lacks customer service and food supply. I can't say anything about quaility of food ..it was meh (I'd give it a 5, max 6.5) . I would never come back again. I came in on a weekday afternoon. 2pm and it was pretty quiet. I gave it 1 star for being clean. this place was empty though read more

I had the opportunity to visit this location last week and was thoroughly impressed. The food was very fresh and the options are all laid out for you like a subway but with better choices. I choose the Tuscan Chicken since I love grilled peppers and goat cheese. I was hesitant about the soup as I had never tried thai curried carrot before so they gave me a sample to try and I loved it! Great upselling technique. Having fresh healthy options was worth the price. Staff were very friendly as well. I will definitely be returning......and so should you! read more

One of the best salads I've had in the area! Fresh ingredients, well portioned, assembled in front of you. Add to that, some interesting combos, and home-made dressings. Friendly, nice service. Will go there again! read more

Fresh, nice looking, delicious food with a good, friendly atmosphere. It's what you hope for in a restaurant. Although what they have is fairly simplistic everyone seems to be on the ball, and eager to please. The soups are very good. Limited hours however. This is pretty much just a lunch place. read more

This place makes the best salads ever! Homemade pear dressing is to die for! Great customer service. Highly recommend!
