    Inside very clean and quaint!

    Came here with the bae for a quick late lunch. Was very impressed. Super clean store, friendly staff, and fresh quality ingredients. I wasn't starving so we ordered the "trio" combo to share, which consists of a sandwich, salad, and soup. The beef panini with smoked mozzarella and roasted red peppers which was very delicious. Soup was a vegan tomato, nicely spiced and smooth, very warming. Really loved the fresh spring salad dressed lightly with house made balsamic dressing. Would absolutely return here for a reasonably priced and healthy meal.

    So yummy, good prices and MUCH better than I expected!! Got a tuna grain bowl. 100% would order again.

    Got take out today and I just have to tell everyone how awesome the Smoked Salmon, with artichoke aioli, grilled zucchini and havarti. Who came up with this? Must be a genius. Soups today was Spicy Moroccan Butternut Squash with Pineapple, or Vegan Tomato and Sweet Potato Puree. Aren't you drooling now? Sandwich, Soup and a large coffee cost me $12. I love this place.

    Tucked away in a small commercial office area is a the gem of a restaurant called Porta Via. I've been in the area for about a year now and had no idea it even existed. Parking is scarce nearby so you may have to drive around the parking lot to find a spot. There was a long lineup at the restaurant however service is very quick and friendly. Sandwiches or wraps come with a soup or salad on the side, so a filling meal is easy to have. I set my eyes on the Tuscan Chicken panini which consisted of sundried tomato paste, grilled chicken, grilled sweet peppers, and lastly goat cheese. The combination of these ingredients was simply incredible. Every bite was bittersweet with the experience of the panini leaving me amazed but upset knowing I was one bite closer to finishing my panini. For my side I went with the vegan tomato basil soup that was the perfect thickness. It was creamy and full of flavour and formed the perfect combo with the panini. The menu consists of many different options of deli meats, chicken, beef and vegetarian options. I cannot wait to discover the rest of the menu and recommend trying Porta Via for lunch whenever in the area!

    The type of place you wish there were more of. If you're eating clean and want fresh, healthy, and clean food you found it. Have the type to switch up your 'base' as to whether you go the salad, sandwich, or wrap route. Office-people-vibes during lunch.

    When you think of soup and a sandwich you usually instantly think of coffee shops, subway, or grocery stores. I mean there aren't that many places to get a nice gourmet sandwich out there; and yes, subway gourmet sandwiches are quite far away from gourmet. Portal Via is hidden inside a small business plaza and delivers a Italian inspired menu with a variety of soups, sandwiches and salads. For somewhere close to 10 dollars you can get your choice of sandwich and a soup or salad next to it. This also is the case for a salad if you so choose. When you first step into the store, you will notice a very urban decor filled with black-brown furniture, clean and elegant wooden chairs and enough right angled corners to ponder how perpendicular everything is. Defiantly a nice classy place to have a quiet lunch with a co-worker. No patio though. That sucks. The variety of sandwiches isn't mind blasting, but it isn't a joke either. On your menu is your usual choices of bird, cow or fish with an assortment of sauces and spreads to mix things up a bit. I actually found the variety of spreads very appealing with choices including sun dried tomato pesto, avocado mayo and a chipotle jalapeno spread. Add in fresh grilled vegetables like zucchini, eggplant and a wide assortment of breads and you got yourself a sandwich worthy of taking a picture of (sorry I devoured mine before I could take a picture... It never had a chance). As for the breads, instead of having your basic white, brown or Parmesan, they mix it up with actual different breads like foccacia, chiabatta or Swiss triangles The soups are different everyday, once I had a red curry soup that was delicious but today I tried the salad. Now here's the reason I didn't give this place a 5/5. The salads are just that. I'll give it to them for using fresh ingredients but I don't see the same creativity in their salads as I do their sandwiches. Basically it's an Italian mixed greens mix with your choice of toppings and a variety of sauces. I'd like to see some more creative salad lunch-entree (yes I just made up that word) salads like chicken almondines, Asian inspired chicken salads or others. All in all I would highly suggest this place for a quiet lunch. Best way to describe this place in a nutshell... Classy Italian deli plus IKEA.

    Mouth watering.

    There are several things that I want to bring up with this location…read more PROs The pros are that the food provided is great, it tastes good and is healthy which is one of the main goals of going to the establishment. If you are aiming for healthy eats, then this is the place to hit up. Its in the downtown core and is accessible. They also offer a killer Portuguese Tart to wrap up a meal! CONs Unfortunately, this is where it goes off the rails a bit. Some of the cons to the location is that the price point isn't in line with other similar locations in the area. I get more salad/rice bowls from Salus just up the street for $5 cheaper. There is no differentiator between the two on this level. I think its reflected in the customer presence as well as I've rarely seen the location filled at lunch. I would say the return for a $20 rice bowl, the amount of rice and protein provided was concerning and miniscule in comparison to competitors in the area. The last con I have is that the location doesn't operate in cash which may be uncommon these days, but it can be annoying to those who do and don't have alternative ways of paying. The food is fine, but comparable and cheaper options are available nearby. I have no compelling reason to return here and that is one of the issues I face when I think about this location. Give the public something different or at a more competitive price to succeed.

The place is setup really well to get people in and out in no time. There was only 1 person working when I came in but it was pretty empty.

The staff came up and gave me a run down of how things work and I let him know that I was set on the Sante Fe bowl. He whipped up my order in no time and was really friendly. We had a chat about the food there and what he liked. It didn't even take 2 minutes and I was paid and out of there. I headed back to my place and have to say, I enjoyed the bowl more than I thought I would. Glad I tried it, would come back to try something else.

I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min.

I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!
