Where to Eat at Yonge-Dundas Square...Milo's Pita

I've always found it disheartening that at the centre of a city so full of culture, full of great restaurants and discerning tastes, that obnoxious chain restaurants like the Hard Rock Cafe and Jack Astor's dominate.

A few months ago I made a discovery that I'd like to share.  Inside the Toronto Life building at 10 Dundas St. E, on the 4th floor you'll find Milo's Pita, an oasis at Yonge-Dundas Square.  They serve up healthy fresh made 'fast food' for a good price.  I had the falafels a few months ago and they were the best falafels I've ever had.  When I got off the bus from out of town, hungry, tired and sick of eating out I knew just where to go. 

This time I had the vegetarian platter for $8.95.   It includes tabbouleh,  hummus, falafels, stuffed grape leaves, pickled turnip, salad, and tahini sauce.  It was the most refreshing and satisfying meal I'd had in a long time.  They have all the dishes you would expect to find, like shawarma and kebabs.  Everything is made fresh daily, said the man who proudly served me.  The atmosphere isn't he best, but if you can stand the din of the stadium sized cafeteria, you can sit down and enjoy a great meal in the heart of the city.

That place is good. Comfy and dirty, in a good way. You can't go wrong with free popcorn either, they're smart, it makes you drink more.

I've always liked the Imperial Pub (Library lounge) for their pints and free popcorn. But whatever you do, don't get the Nacho Grande. It's inedible.
