Review of Restaurant:

• Why did I come to this restaurant?

I would call this a hidden gem from Toronto. You would not notice this place if you walk by it. It is a hole in the wall restaurant. The only reason that we found this place was that my co-workers came here earlier and said it was good. They just randomly stumbled here.

$15 for a summerlicious/winterlicious type of food, you are at the right place. The food is from local farmers. There is only one chef and a helper, presumed to be his wife. Having worked at high-end and well known restaurants, you can expect good food from the chef.

• What did I think of the food and service?

Just look at the amount of food you are getting for $15. Half-chicken: this beats Swiss Chalet's chicken any day in terms of quality and price. A bit overcooked on the chicken but when you have one chef overlooking 10 meals, it's bound to happen. I'll forgive the chef this one time. I'll be sure to return to this restaurant to try the other options from the $15 3-course meals.

• How did my sensitive stomach feel?
  

Stuffed just like the chicken. I had no issues digesting the food. Can't wait to return here.

Here are just the SIGNIFICANT AND CRUCIAL infractions:

August 2, 2012 - PASS - 1 significant infraction

1. Operator fail to ensure cover will prevent contamination or adulteration

Near perfect report. For a 2 people operation, this is good. It does get busy in this restaurant so be sure to book ahead if you are a large group.

VERDICT: A healthy alternative to the greasy food in downtown Toronto!
