Get to Know All Our Favourite Spots to Eat

Our university is located in the heart of Toronto, one of the most diverse places. This means it’s home to many different kinds of cuisines. If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for some delicious food recommendations, so I thought I’d share some good eats with you near campus, courtesy of me and my friends!

​​Meet Caroline, a third-year Biomedical Sciences major and Chemistry minor. She’s in one of our university’s a cappella groups called Resonate (external link, opens in new window) , and boy does she have an amazing voice! She has a passion for art and trying amazing food. Here are some of her favourite eats: 

This healthy option is located very close to campus and has a variety of foods to choose from. Caroline’s go-to order here is the quinoa teriyaki bowl! She loves it because you can get anything in vegetarian form. I also recommend this place because they’re able to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions!

If you have a sweet tooth and love coffee, this place is definitely for you! Caroline says that this restaurant has THE best oat milk latte she’s ever had in her entire life. The barista that made this for her was so kind and the drink was described as “top tier”. She shared some photos with me of the bakery section and as you can see for yourself, it looks delicious! 

Meet Neha! She’s another one of my Biomedical Sciences friends and is a huge foodie. She loves animals and has two dogs of her own. You can always find her at the dog park or out in nature. Check out some of her favourite food places by our university: 

We have our own campus coffee shop called Balzac’s, and Neha loves coming here. Their selection of coffee from hot to cold suits just what Neha needs all the time. She really likes baked goods, and the cookies here are so big and delicious! In addition to all that, this spot has a selection of healthy choices for each meal of the day. I’m sure every student has gone here at least once, so you should too! 

Neha is a sucker for customizing her food, and Blaze is the perfect place to do it. Their pizza is fresh out of the stone hearth oven every time, adding so much flavor. Neha loves the wide array of toppings here, and it’s unique compared to other pizza places. This is a must for you to visit if you already haven’t!

If you’ve been following my blogs for a while, you might already know me, but I’ll do another intro for my new readers. My name is Nishka and I’m a transfer student. I’m currently majoring in Biomedical Sciences and minoring in Psychology. When I’m not studying, you can catch me either hanging out with my friends, binging some good shows or creative writing. Here are some good eats I found near campus: 

If you want some comfort food, then this is the place to go! It’s not too far from campus, and the food here is delicious. There’s a rustic feel all throughout the restaurant which adds a homey feel to it. I really enjoyed the flammekueches, they’re kind of like pizza and I love all kinds of pizza. If you like good vibes and delicious meals, this place is for you!

Something you may not know about me is that I absolutely love ramen. If I could, I’d eat it for every single meal of the day! Kinton Ramen did not disappoint when I visited. I’m usually a big fan of shoyu, but the miso ramen was absolutely fantastic here. Whenever you need a quick filling bite to eat, come grab some delicious ramen!

I hope you enjoyed meeting my friends and getting to know our favourite food spots near campus. These are only a few of the places you can check out, so don’t forget to venture out on your own to try something new. 

“See” you soon!
