Definitely still a bit confused on what the business name is called, but according to the Square One website, the pop up organizer is called "Kainan Na Inc." and a NGO unifying Filipino food vendor. I got the belly lechon, which includes belly lechon, rice, half a salted egg, pickled papaya, cherry tomatoes and a brown sauce. Despite being in a food court, they definitely put a lot of thought into the presentation. The rice and lechon was wrapped in a (papaya?) leaf. I was impressed that the rice was steaming hot when I unwrapped the leaf, yet the lechon skin remained crunchy! The lechon meat was extremely tender. I think it's value for money ($15) given how high quality the meat was. The portion was just right for me, but for people who have a bigger appetite, it might not filling enough. My only complaint is that they were blasting the music a bit too loud in the enclosed eat-im area just for their stall. read more

Lots of different food, drinks, bakeries and desserts at The Food District! My Uber driver told me that this is a pretty new addition and that the food was good so definitely check it out if you're in the area. The interior is a modern and Instagram-able food hall with a good amount of seating. From first glance, I was overwhelmed by the amount of good options and variety. I would recommend walking around and looking at every food establishment before buying. I recommend sampling from a few places to try as much as you can (if you're just visiting). I enjoyed Kibo Sushi House, Uncle Tetsu's Shop (the cheese tart was so good), and Hale Coffee. Lots of other options (Italian pasta, tacos, soups, chocolate shop, Indian, Mediterranean, etc.) that looked like it was worth a chance. I'd recommend grabbing food here for convenience and taste. read more

We stumbled on this gem after driving to Toronto to catch a flight- not too far from the airport it was the perfect spot to stop for lunch - an incredible international Food court the likes of which I'd never seen before - it was so hard to choose just one place to try. read more

Pop up store in Square One Last time we wanted to try the OG crispy chicken but unfortunately it was unavailable. We finally tried these! We got the OG crispy chicken, adobo chicken, braised beef brisket and the Sinigang fries. I always prefer the crispy chicken bao because it won't go wrong. The soft bun with the crispy chicken was a perfect match. The adobo chicken was flavorful and tender. However, the braised beef brisket was a bit dry compared to the chicken. Also, the Sinigang fries were so good and so crispy! The only thing is they were a bit salty. read more

Great selection of more local & trendier food vs the typical food court - big food chain variety. You'll find most make their food on-site. Some of my fav go-to's in this section are: Patties Express (the line-up goes fast) - spicy chicken & veggie patties are avail, aside from traditional beef BROD (compact version of Danish Pastry House) - coconut vanilla cake, almond paste chocolate triangles Ray Woodeys Craft Chippery - potato chip flavours change, they've got taro chips too Sweet Jesus - I love their vegan soft serve The Pie Commission - perfect portable meals Find me on Instagram @aida.loves read more

The Food District - Food Stands Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

For a few years, I have been meaning to check out The Food District. I work in Mississauga, so the probability of coming over here seemed high at the time. Nope. My workplace is closer to the airport and Etobicoke. There have been so many decent places to eat that my colleagues and I would stay in these areas. The pandemic happened and we have all worked from home since. It has been two years since I last visited Square One. As of late, I have been back twice in a week. Crazy! My most recent visit was for a Yelp elite experience at this mall. Since the place didn't have any seating, I suggested that my friend and I try The Food District to find spots. There had to be some and I secretly wanted to visit The Food District! It's a cross between a food hall and a food court. I love food halls because you get more specialized businesses under one roof, which means more sampling. It's also the mall's food court, but a nicer version of a typical one. We snagged a table with stools in the Food City area, which is almost in the centre of the place, but slightly closer to the mall entrance. Tables were distanced nicely such that we felt safe and we couldn't hear any conversations other than our own. The Pie Commission was just behind us. I was looking to grab some dinner and loved the pies at its Etobicoke location. Sadly, it was out of commission last Friday night. Ugh! Their savoury and dessert pies are phenomenal. Instead, I got a patties combo from Patties Express. I have a friend whose go-to patty place is this one. There are locations in Toronto, but it was nice that I got to try them out here. The mild and spicy beef patties that I had were delicious. I am salivating as I reminisce about how yummy they were and how quickly I devoured them. My friend and I admired the Blooming Cotton Candy cart. The place makes cute duck, bunny, and bear-shaped cotton candy. My heart was set on getting dinner than dessert, so I will return to get one because I love cotton candy and it's the closest experience at any fair that I will get this year. I also enjoyed looking at floral arrangements at Blossom Moments. Their rose bears stood out, with each bear in its own display case. If you don't want to gift me a $65 small rose bear, I'll gladly receive an $8 spider plant. I'm not picky. The plants and flowers are so pretty and healthy here. There are tons of eateries that I still haven't fully discovered, from BROD (a spinoff of Danish Pastry House) to Tao Tea Leaf (it took so much willpower to not go in this store and to focus on getting dinner). I will definitely return. I had a great experience eating and getting patties here that I want more. (390) read more

My son and I decided to visit square one and opted to go to the food district again instead of the food court. The food court tends to be quite loud and busy. The food district area is busy but not crazy nor loud. They also have a good selection of snack type food. I really like that because I am able to sample the different food the place offers. We tried 2 places today for snacks. My my chicken was good ( 8/10) We tried the boneless chicken combo for $20. It was good size for a snack for 2 people. The service was fast and the place was set up more of a take out with an option to eat in. There are a few tables available. Place was clean too. Hattendo 7/10 There is a small bar like table that you can stand and quickly eat your food but no stools or chair to sit in. But there are tables within the food district where you can sit down and eat. We tried the cream bun with whipped cream. 6/10 It was good but nothing special about it. Ebi fry sando 9/10. I had low expectations on this being that it's just a sandwich but I was wrong. It was a really good sandwich. The bread was super soft and the sauce that came with the fried tempura shrimp just compliment it nicely. read more

I saw this place as i was exploring the mall. It's fairly new but there was definitely a lot of good food options. We decided to check out the bbq place as they have daily specials and got the fried chicken poutine. Surprisingly it was really good. It's probably one of the better poutines I had in a while. A good amount of gravy and cheese curds as well as the chicken was still crispy as well as the fries. For the price, it was a generous portion as well. We also got a kombucha from a nearby drink place and thought that was standard, nothing too exciting It's weird that they have this food area as well as a food court area too so make sure you go to the right place read more

Visited on July 1, 2019. Customer service: The staffs that I encountered were friendly. The lady at the tea shop was very knowledgeable about tea and the ingredients, I was also able to smell some samples at the time.. Food: They have lots of options here. There is a tea shop, a dessert place, and pasta place, etc. It's like a mini resting place to satisfy your cravings. Atmosphere: It was fun and lively. Parking: Lots of spaces to park, however a lot of people visit this place. Perhaps, things may have change due to the pandemic situation. But I can't wait to revisit this place when things settle down. read more

The ultimate destination for any foodies. The Food District is a good escape from the mall and into a world of great eats. Not only is this new "food court" beautifully designed, but it looks so different from the rest of the mall that it's like you stepped into a new place. TFD reminds me a lot of the markets in Europe. The design is simple, yet quite beautiful. There are lots of options to choose from and restaurants cater to all tastes. My favorites include Dal Moro's Pasta, Pier 87 (for seafood), Danish Pastry House (the bread is great and they always have samples), Plancha (super cute place), to name a few. They cater to all needs. Need desserts? They've got it. Looking for something light? There, you'll find it. Craving for a meal? You got it. Want to learn some new skills? They have classes for that! I also like that there's vegan options. Prices at the different vendors are a bit on the higher end, but it's totally worth it if you're looking for a treat once in a while or if you're looking for quality, freshness and no disappointments. read more

Great options, great variety, vegan and gf options here. Will be coming back many times!! I ate at Plancha....the vegan omelette. It was delicious! Made out of a mix of gf flours and spinach, with sides of pesto, fava, carrot purée, guacamole, sun dried tomato pesto and a salad. They did not have the gf bread yet but said it would be available starting April 2. The menu is very similar to cafe Landwer downtown in TO, but way closer to get to I also purchased 2 soups atthe Village juicery. I'm excited to try them but I also want to try their juices and shots.......they have some daily deals next week and they offer a "cleanse" program with their juices, shots and food. I had the gf muffin too from the juicery but it was awful very dry and not tasty. I may try a salad next time instead. There is another soup place, Ma's Best Soups, that does just soups.....their soups looked awesome too. read more

I love how you can just walk around and window show and that there are also several public areas where you can sit and year. There are also lots of restaurants where you can sit inside and eat as well. There is more than just restaurants, there are also bakeries and flower shops. I would highly recommend a visit, it even makes a nice little outing with friends. read more

Lots of interesting food stores in the area. Was surprised to see what was around the next corner. The only reason why it is not 5 stars is because some of the prices are just too crazy for what you get. Overall, if you head here, you will find something you will love. read more

Since it's Opening Week, I think it's a bit unfair to give it 5*s, so I'll stick to 4*...especially since this is my "home" mall! Yes, it's a Food Court, but it's a bit more than that with a classroom/demo area (free this week!), a space for a pop-up shop in the middle (very smart), and unconventional places such as a florist. You wouldn't normally find in a food court - but you would in a place such as a European Market. I believe all of the eateries are homegrown such as La Carnita (small-ish), Sweet Jesus (...pricey!), OKO Bagels, The Wine Shop (featuring mainly wines from the Niagara Region). Some places such as Seed To Sausage even goes as far as to feature products that are LOCAL. I love that there's a theme! I haven't eaten anywhere yet, so I'm excited to actually experience the food. :) read more

First time visiting this food district located inside the Mississauga Square One Shopping Mall. Pretty cool setup with a number of different stores including winery, bakery, seafood market and many many eateries. It's kinda like a food court but with individual locations that have their own seating. What captured my attention was the seafood market which had a variety of fresh looking seafood and on top of that they offer a menu selection that includes lobster poutine, lobster roll and many other seafood dishes cooked to your liking. I definitely will give it a try next time. read more

If you're a foodie, organic/local food & product lover & like aesthetically pleasing places then this place is for you. Be willing to spend $$ because things are pricier than normal! A great concept for a food court that adds additional options to Square One. From flowers, gourmet donuts, skin care , build your own cupcakes & salads- this place has everything for everyone! I tried The Box, a gourmet donut place . VERY pricey - 40$ for a box and 5-7$ per donut. But they are worth it. I tried the crembrulee and the caramel. Creme Brûlée is a MUST, I perhaps got lucky because mine was still warm and fresh, I saw them torching a few consistently so I guess this is a popular flavour. The donut is filled (I think all of them are), but it's not overly sweet and I was pleasantly surprised by this because I hate filled donuts. Bread wasn't dry & the Creme was torched perfectly on top. The Carmel donut was also filled with some type of Creme, but personally I didn't love it. Didn't get the caramel taste, was more chocolatey. Still overall yummy and I would go back to try more flavours! read more

I was really excited to check out The Food District when i first heard about it. We went specifically for La Carnita , which was a huge win - i would definitely go back there. I was a bit disappointed at the number of dessert places that use nuts or peanuts mainly in their baking. My daughter has a severe peanut allergy and we couldn't buy any donuts from The Box Donut as they bake all of their products in peanut oil. I barely even saw the sign because it wasn't positioned in a way or place that one would look. Plus, i've never purchased donuts anywhere that use peanut oil. Maybe it was for the best after reading their reviews and how much the donuts cost. I am looking forward to trying out a few more places in The Food District for lunch or dinner though. Next stop will be Blackjack BBQ! Great addition to the mall! It would be nice if Markville Mall had something similar added on. read more

This newly renovated section of Square One is quite impressive. It's really bright, welcoming and modern. When you first walk in it may be a little overwhelming because there is a wide variety of food vendors. It offers restaurants, a butchershop, a fishmonger, food tastings, cooking classes and more. It focuses on offering local, handmade and high-quality foods in a setting. The Food District provides a heightened experience for foodies and locals alike. For our first time walking through the Food District, the Chcollata, a gourmet brigadeiros (Truffle) vendor caught our eyes. So we tried one of everyday flavour. We purchased the box of 15 which cost $37.50 + tax. I do have to say...it was well worth it. Some flavours were much sweeter than others however the brigadeiros had a very rich and smooth texture on the inside while some had a nice crisp on the outside. My favorite was the Noir. It's a dark chocolate covered. It has the perfect amout of sweetness and it wasn't overwhelming. If you are ever looking for a small one bite dessert to fulfill that sweet tooth, this is a must try! read more

I actually just found out about this Food District from a friend who lives in Mississauga. I can't believe I missed this food hall when it was opened 5 months ago! I've noticed during the past few years, we have a few food halls similar going up, for example, the Upper Canada Mall one. This Food District It is located beside the Rec Room and you can access the food hall via the entrance from Square One. This food hall feels a little smaller, however there is still a good variety of food, from seafood, tea, taco, to pasta. The Baja shrimp taco from La Carnita tasted pretty good, the shrimp has a good level of spice to it. One thing can improve the taco is the flour tortillas, a little dried. Otherwise, the flavour is pretty good! This is a great addition to the mall! read more

The ultimate destination for any foodies. The newly renovated area has it all from savory food to sweet treats. I walked through the area noticing there are tons of restaurants in the Food District featuring the app Ritual (sign up via this link for a $10 credit: https://invite.ritual.co/JANET71442). It is a beautifully designed food court with an up to modern designs. It can be overwhelming at first with so many new restaurants to try but trust me, it will be all worth it. read more

Such a great addition to the mall. Really love the selection of foods you can buy. Ive been to a few vendors here and the vibe us relaxing

From Salty to Sweet to Savory! This is the best place to check out if you're a foodie in Mississauga! Walking in, you can already feel the difference between the mall and the food district. Everything here is beautifully designed to attract customers to their restaurants/cafe. There are many type of restaurants/cafe here. From "square donuts" to Fish/Meat market to even a over sea candy shop. Note: This Food here is quite pricey but to me its worth it. The only thing i would suggest is having space to sit and eat. Some spots are very tight to sit. read more

Love it!! This newly renovated area has it all! They offer all sorts of food from savoury to sweet. I walked through and noticed that they have an area that offers cooking classes which was cool. There is a few places that sell desserts and sweets for the ones that have a sweet tooth I would recommend the Chocolatta as I haven't tried every sweet shop in there yet. There's a butcher shop and seafood stand which you pick your protein and they can cook it right up for you for dine in or even take it as is to go and enjoy it at home. Still have many shops in there to try but sweet digs now. read more

If you think food at the mall, you either have two choices. Food court or chain restaurants. The Food District is somewhere in between (in a good way). Love the higher end food choices and it really redefines dining at the mall. There are a lot of craft and gourmet shops. Some local, some chains. It's tough to review all the shops here but in general a welcome addition to the mall for sure. Check it out and try it if you haven't already. read more

This is a great spot. Lots of really different things to try. Worth a visit and coming back to sample different things. Candy shop has some really unique things and the square shaped doughnuts at The Box are very good. Makes a trip to the mall even more worthwhile. read more

The new food joint area opened less then a month. There were a lot of new retail and quite interesting. If you spend time to look and shop. You will discover something interesting. I love fresh pastas so I visited Dal Moro, which serve freshly made pasta and it's simple flavour and choices. However the pasta was slight under cooked to al dente. I wish to bring it back to the cashier but the line up was long so didn't bother. Box in the donut was slightly was great. Lots of new flavours. Don't expect the price to be like Tim hortons and of course the quality is much better. After I continue to explore the area, ended up at the sugar king candy shop(forgot the exact name) I ended up buying 2 cans of green apple and peach Fanta..lol. At last. I got some cold cuts from seed to sausage... kinda disappointed with it when I made a sandwich from it. I think I can get better quality cold cuts from loblaws read more

Wow I am the 1st to Yelp Food District. Onto the review. The Square One Food District is a new addition to the Mall and features a large variety of vendors from market style outlets to fast food and sit down outlets. There is something for everyone from the fashionable foodies to the fussy vegetarians. I checked out all of the places and was impressed with what I saw. I got some items from places like pie commission , pier 87 , and box donut..I will be back to try the other vendors products and enjoy each experience . Go into the district with an open mind and you will enjoy yourself read more

Honestly not that great. Looks fantastic I loved exploring it and seeing what kinds of foods it had to offer and everything seemed delicious but so far the food is very mediocre and I've been to most of the places. The fact that everything looks so good keeps pushing me to go back but so far nothing is too memorable. The donuts are great but too expensive. Not worth the money just yet but we'll see. read more
