The drinks ended up being tasty but let's be clear, they tasty more healthy than they do sweet. The pics give a totally different expectation and that's the only reason I mention that. Were they good? Yes. But I think this needs to be noted. In my pics the drinks have not been stirred. Makes for a cute picture haha but please please stir the matcha before you drink! OMG! They almost lost us on that first unstirred sip. All in all, good drink though

The staff are nice and friendly and there are a couple of indoor tables available if you want to eat at the restaurant.

She's so passionate about what she creates and you can truly feel that. They make all their own pasta and sour dough! The storefront inside feels nice and clean and is so cute with all the mushroom decor! They have freezers to buy some of her food premade and frozen. They also have a little library inside. This is not a walk in so don't forget your reservations it's so worth the experience I can't wait to go back !

Absolutely loved our dining experience here. You can feel the passion in each bite…read more They use local and fresh ingredients AND are able to accomodate gluten allergies, which so many restaurants cannot do. I love the pre-fixe, chef's choice dining style where you go in, there's no decisions for you to make (besides beverages) and you just enjoy! You begin with a delicious amuse bouche style bite and we received two courses of pasta. The pasta and udon noodles are freshly made and tasted delicious. HUGE fan of chewy fresh pasta. The udon was a little underdone, we had some floury bites, but honestly, the mushroom and truffle sauce just covered that right up! We got to finish up with a celery root pizza, and I was in heaven. This was an amazing pizza. I wish I could order this all the time, but that's the beautiful of their seasonal, changing menus! I loved that someone came out to introduce each of the dishes. Knowing where the ingredients came from and how the chef was inspired to make certain twists was really fun. I certainly appreciated the design of each dish more. Considering what a unique experience this is, I'm really grateful that they try to keep it priced reasonably per person so more people can enjoy the experience. I hope they're able to keep it going for years to come. I'd love to come back for date nights more often.

First off - the food in the menu photographs beautifully. The menu looks SO appetizing! I got the vegetarian grilled panini and it was huge!! It also came with a soup (two options, I got the tomato and sweet potato), so at $14 it was a great value. My colleague got a steak and smoked cheese panini which looked incredible as well, and the toppings and sandwiches were just SO fresh. They don't skimp out on the good stuff either, lots of tasty goat cheese on my sandwich...I'm drooling just remembering it! There is a seating area so you can dine in, or take your food to go. The service was friendly and efficient, you can tell they care about the food they're preparing. One thing I will mention - it's MESSY! Make sure you get napkins!

A very local lunch place in Mississauga near Hurontario and Britannia Rd. East. You can easily miss…read morethe building because the area is mainly nondescript brown buildings that house businesses and not restaurants. They are open for lunch only, website says 9 am to 3 pm. You order at the counter and have the option of eating in. The space is modern, bright and clean. The menu focuses mainly on sandwiches, salads and pastas. They have a daily special pasta. I ordered the best seller (chicken toscana) with a side salad. Sandwiches come in on a choice of breads but the focaccia is clearly the favourite. Prices start around 11.95 and go up. You can add a side salad or small soup for an extra cost but the Caesar salad is a bit more at additional $2.50. This is a pricier lunch for what you get. My sandwich and salad came out to $18.00. Sandwich was good. Generous pieces of chicken breast with grilled zucchini. For the final touch they press it between the panini press. If you are looking for an elevated lunch this is the place.

Delicious whether you need gluten free or not!…read more We have food sensitivities and need to eat gluten free. Along with GF needs, we have to avoid all corn products, so finding a restaurant option while traveling can be challenging. The best places will talk to you about their ingredients and prep so that you feel comfortable. These guys were amazing! Rouge Kitchen's entire menu is GF and had things I've never seen before like GF poutine and fish & chips! They spent a ton of time with us finding something we could eat, and even adjusted a couple items to remove corn starch! Probably the best meal we had while in Toronto for 4 days! Highly recommended!

Fish Friday!!! Finally got a picture to post for this wonderful business!…read more To end the week off, we ordered fish and chips from Rouge Kitchen. They use haddock and the batter is the crunchy and fluffy kind. The chips are also delicious fresh out of the fryer. We ordered 2 pcs of fish which came to just over $20. The beautifully battered fish and freshly cut chips are served with a small side of coleslaw (not the creamy kind) and a store made tartar sauce. Their tartar sauce is quite possibly my most favorite tartar sauce in the entire galaxy! The owner is always generous enough to pack an extra container at no extra charge when I tell her how much i love her tartar sauce. Since we're still under the pandemic restriction, you have to call your order in and you'll be given a time slot for pick up. If you're in the mood for fish and chips (only served on fridays), be sure to call in your order early as they do sell out fast!

But once my sister came home one night to tell me, "There's a place in Dufferin Mall and their chicken is so fresh, and so moist." I had to go back and give them a second try. I am ever glad I did! The wrap I had was AMAZING!!!! I got a spinach wrap with some brie cheese, chicken, chickpeas, avocado, lettuce and olives and their Chipotle sauce and mmmm mmmm mmmm scrumptious! My bf order a similar wrap, on a whole wheat pita, chicken, spinach, cheese, avocado... Delicious! Shortly after my second try of cultures I went back a third time and ordered a similar wrap..... So good. I definitely recommend going here the next time you're at Dufferin mall and would like a healthier option.. They grill these wraps to perfection!!!!

So off to the mall just thinking about a tuna on whole wheat sandwich! Much to my surprise, they were closed due to renovations. And I definitely did not want Manchu wok or kfc. The only other "healthy" option was cultures. I ended up ordering their Southwest bowl which consisted of corns, avocado, sweet potato, and grilled chicken on a bed of brown rice with some chipotle sauce. The word avocado got me - I loveee avocado! The lady there was super nice and helpful with my order. In the end, it costed me almost $10 for something you can so easily make at home. As for the food, I wish they loaded up more on the sweet potato and avocado though. It was still good but I don't think I'll want to spend that much on lunch that often!

It's our go-to for work catering, especially since they are fully Halal, which is a huge benefit for our entire team. They also have excellent veggie options, so catering is always simple and satisfying for everyone. The food itself is pure comfort.

It's always delicious and the prices are always reasonable.

The design your own pasta for less than $12 from an arrangement of varietal ingredients alone should bring you here; not to mention the sweet owners who cater the food with love. There was so much to choose from I decided to throw in a complicated mix that still worked out. There is no dine in and no need because the take out portions are plenty and the branding of the restaurant gives it that not too bougie but low key bang for your buck deal! I am so surprised this place does not have more reviews, the sincerity and joy of their service you'd think they are tryna hide something assuming it has to do with the food but its just a bonus cause the food just slaps!
