The Bristol Yard, Toronto
After so much hype around this tiny little restaurant, I was very excited to have a meal at the Bristol Yard (146 Christie St.) and after almost 6 months of trying we got in for brunch. The restaurant is only open for a handful of meals in the week (Wednesday evening, Friday dinner, Saturday and Sunday) and … Continue Reading →
The Symposium Cafe, Waterloo
I know we’re supposed to stick to the Toronto food base but this restaurant was so memorable that I had to put up a little post about it.

The food was innovative and certainly delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and warm and the service impeccable. Although the … Continue Reading →
Soupstock aftermath
Slight delay in the posting of pictures but I’m very happy to say that the Notesonameal crew was part of the 40,000 that attended Soupstock this year. With over 200 chefs and around 85 soup stations, it was very hard to pick and choose where to eat! The event saw the talent of Susur Lee, … Continue Reading →

Their signature … Continue Reading →

The food is delicious and is pretty much always available, even … Continue Reading →

Well, most people would make lunch, but here at Notes On a Meal, we don’t find that to be enough so we embark on a French pastry shop journey.

Quick service, low prices and delicious food…what more coulod you want for lunch or a super quick dinner? Located just west of Spadina on Queen st, this little sandwich shop pounds out food like it’s going out of style.
