14 Cheap Restaurants in Toronto
"Along with The French and Brux House, Nique is a new restaurant providing a more upscale casual dining experience in Hamilton. Their food portions are on the smaller side but it’s all internationally inspired which makes for some really neat dishes to pair your drink with. And they of course have a great selection of beer from across Ontario to pick from."
"What is it: Nique manages to offer an eclectically delicious fusion of flavors on a single page menu. Expect younger crowds looking for a trendy location and a fun drink menu to surround you. Why go: The menu is a cultural mosaic featuring dishes like falafel, roasted cauliflower with poblano hummus and sushi nachos—and they’re all actually good."
"Open until 2 a.m, on weekends, Nique serves up late-night snacks that go great with a cocktail (or two). This spacious downtown restaurant gives a nod to Canadian culture with a mosaic of dishes like their famous sushi nachos made with wontons. The interior features an open kitchen, pop art on the walls, and a large square bar."
"Burgers, American Cuisine, Alcohol Served, Lunch Menu, Online Menu, Restaurant With Parking, Take-out. Come in and get 100% fresh and never frozen burger and fresh cut fries. We also have chicken burgers and fingers and veggie"
"Double patty, bacon, lettuce, onion, tomato and house sauce. Wife had hers on an available keto bun, which she excited about as it's a rare..."
"Located at Union Station, filled with people and adequate seating. Service is good and is fast. Not a long wait for food."
"The twisted wisdom of Yogi Berra’s great line: “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded,” might apply to The Hot House. Reservations are not required but highly recommended if you plan to attend the famous Sunday buffet brunch. The hot table is loaded with plenty of meat, pasta and vegetarian options, plus the weekly chef’s surprise."
"Served every Sunday from 9:30 am, this brunch buffet will satisfy any appetite with an abundance of sweet and savoury selections. $24.95 buys access to carvery stations, omelette bars, salads, baked goods, desserts… the list goes on. Address: 35 Church Street, TorontoPhone: 416-366-7800"
"When it comes to all-you-can-eat brunch, jazz seems to be the music of choice to accompany it for most restaurants. Hot House is no exception with their jazz brunch running every Sunday from 9:30 a.m."
"Cafe Landwer has four locations in Toronto, and they’re quite vegan friendly. Every vegan offering has a V beside it on the menu. You can choose from a plant-based breakfast plate, plant-based shakshuka, acai bowl, a vegan burger, a vegan omelette, plant-based shwarma, and more."
"Located right at the corner of Adelaide and University is this retro Israeli café. The front of the restaurant is Instagrammable, the entryway is Instagrammable, and the interior is Instagrammable. Everything about Café Landwer is Instagram-worthy!"
"We’d say Fresh has sure come a long way since the juice bar they started as in 1990. With bright whites, tall ceilings, exciting floor tiles, and exposed brick, Fresh on Front is one of the most beautiful and Instagram-worthy of its other locations. Tall, mid-century style velvet seats line the bar and welcome you to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and stay a while."
"Fresh on Front set out to challenge the idea that vegetarian food had to be bland, and they delivered. Housed in a historic Front Street mansion, guests are greeted by pastel pink barstools, geometric tiled floors and pretty pot plants. While Fresh has a few locations across Toronto, this is the first with a full cocktail bar."
"The Royal Alexandra Theatre—or the Royal Alex, as it’s known—is a pretty spiffy affair. The newly restored 1907 Beaux-Arts triumph is, in fact, North America’s first properly royal theater. It gained its title thanks..."
"We are certainly not deluding ourselves by suggesting that the opera is suddenly gratis. However, there are a series of free concerts in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre from September to May in jazz, piano, vocal, dance, chamber and world music categories. Walking into the Canadian Opera Company and viewing the majestic staircases and grandiose ceilings, it will be hard to believe that you have paid nothing for a fine arts experience."

From September through May, the Canadian Opera Company hosts free concerts during certain weekday lunch hours (check its website for the schedule). The opera’s company will perform, but visitors will also be treated to performances by everyone from acclaimed taiko (Japanese drumming) ensembles to famed pianists and string musicians."
"The Canadian Opera Company unveiled its amazing building in 2006 in the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. With majestic staircases, grandiose ceilings and pitch-perfect acoustics, going to the opera quickly became a dream of an evening in the heart of downtown Toronto. This is Canada's first and only custom-built opera house and it has a European vibe that beckons you to put on your best ballgown or bow tie."
"an apt Celine-inspired tagline for this super quirky queer gem!. Buddies is a queer theatre space by day and on weekends transforms into one of Toronto's best gay nightclubs. And greatly needed, we might add!"
