| If
you're headed westbound from the downtown core on Dundas
Street, you may almost miss this tiny restaurant just west
of Dovercourt. But if you drive a little slower than usual
(don't mind the cars behind) on Dundas West, and look carefully
at the signs on the South side, you will find this compact
and cozy café called EAT Café and Catering.
It's
a snug and inviting place for sure. Done up in blacks and
reds, the place is very clean and offers a smattering of
cuisine. There is Italian pizza and pastas, but you also
find Thai soup amongst other things. We ordered Thai Soup
(delicious) that had a bit of an Indian touch with the traditional
coriander adorning the soup bowl. The soup came in a large
bowl and could be a complete meal for small eaters.
The
main course we ordered was Pollo di diavolo, chicken breast
seared with tangy spices also had a touch of the Indian
onion/tomato masala. Served with French beans and pan roasted
wedges, this was tasty too. We also ordered Pizza Margherita,
a thin crust pizza with tomato herb sauce, fresh mozzarella
and basil leaves.
The
menu is different for dinner and includes soups and salads,
appetizers and Mains and Desserts and is changed every six
weeks. For instance, the current menu will change on May
1, 2004.
The
food is delicious and if you want to get away from work
then this is the place to head to. The meal is prepared
and served tastefully. The café seats 30 people,
and if you're lucky, you can get a table outdoors in the
Summer.
