vegan/vegetarian friendly non-chain restaurants near Union Station Toronto

Hi All,

Meeting up with friends for lunch near the Metro Convention Centre/Union Station in Toronto. We'd like to avoid chain restaurants such as East Side Mario's and Lonestar Texas Grill. We'll be dining with a vegetarian and vegan so that limits our selection. We're also looking for a place that's not over-priced theatre district or financial district expensive if such a place exist.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

reasonably priced Japanese/Sushi restaurants downtown Toronto

Which Japanese/Sushi restaurants that are reasonably priced (lunch entrees $10-$15) do you recommend that are in downtown Toronto? Looking into these neighbourhoods Entertainment District, Yorkville, Queen Streets and surrounding area. It's for a small group birthday get-together. We've already over-done Guu and been to Ematei but prefer places that also offer regular sushi offerings not just specialty small plates or authentic Japanese cuisine.

Thanks,
Mango

Hi Chowhounders,

What are your favorite pizza flavoured snacks? I used to enjoy pizza flavoured cheese strings and Mr. Pita's pita puffs but I cant' find any of those items anymore. I've recently tried the goldfish snacks which are scrumptious but not enough. Any other ideas and where can I find other pizza flavoured munchies?

Thanks,

What happend to Pita Puffs? (Toronto/London/Niagara)

I used to buy Pita Puffs pizza flavoured snacks at different grocery stores in Niagara. I don't see them around anymore in Toronto, London or Niagara. They used to come in different flavours (BBQ, Salsa, Ranch, Original. I can't remember the brand but they used to come in checkered coloured bags.

I tried other pita puff/pita chip snacks and they just don't compare to the puffs. Stacy's brand pita chips are good but I miss the pizza flavor bite sized pieces of pita puffs.

Does anyone know where to find them?

Thanks!
