Okay folks, I want to hear your BEST, can't miss recommendations for Toronto. I'm in the city for a co-op placement and don't want to waste my precious time at mediocre places before I head back home to the country. Let me know your favourite place and I'll try to fit them all in!
thanks so much

About my picky friend, she isn't very adventurous. No ethnic foods and nothing too fancy. She says she'll go wherever though so I don't know..

I'm a pretty laid back vegetarian. I don't eat meat but I eat fish, I don't drink dairy but I eat yogurt. It's for environmental and health reasons so I still eat the stuff I can't give up yet!

I'm turning 25 in a week and a half and I need fellow hounds help. I'm only living in Toronto for 4 months and there are so many potential places, I can't decide where to celebrate!

Criteria:
-downtown area (not too strict as I am willing to travel for something good but generally front to St. clair and dufferin to DVP). We might try Snakes and Lattes after so if its near Bloor and Bathurst all the better.
-price range maybe under $30. We'll likely only be getting mains, not so much several courses.
-I have one friend who is a bit picky so maybe keep that in mind but it is my day...
-I don't eat meat so at least one veggie option. As long as it's delicious, I'm good with it
-an added bonus would be food that isn't too terrible for me but this is not a deal breaker.

Thanks for the suggestions!
