    Part of the Oliver & Bonacini restaurant group, located in a prime spot near all of the TIFF action. Sit and enjoy a casual lunch or if you’re in a hurry, pick something from their grab & go counter.

    Great French Connection burger and Apprtizers. We got the empanadas and the Oysters and they were both tasty.

    The lamb gnocchi was delicious as usual. And the maple glazed salmon was also wonderful, if not a little overpriced.

    They have a new menu starting TODAY! Their award winning grilled cheese is certainly a treat. I look forward to trying the braised rabbit dish. Lucas is a sweet server.

    Don't listen to the nay-Sayers, given the turnover here, Canteen is one of the best (if pricey) alternatives to the usual Indian and pub fare of king street. Try the wonderful gnocchi.

    Tip for Canteen manager: make an effort to serve more locally sourced food. You have a basket of apples from S. Africa!? It's apple season in Ontario and you have a farmers market across the street.

    The food is really good here, even the pre-made stuff at the take-out counter. But service can be a bit slow even when it's not busy.

    The best dessert this season! It was not too sweet and not too blunt

    We told them we were in a rush and got our food in 10 mins. In and out in 20. Perfect! And great food.

    Great patio. Great vibe. Open, light and airy. Grilled chicken is always too oily so ask for less olive oil to get it just right

    Chili-ginger margarita is my new fave, just beating out The Stompin' Tom Collins, my previous one.

    Menu items seemed interesting, but I was expecting more from an O&B franchise (also overlooking the fact that they burned my quiche). Place also needs more staff during busy times!

    Try the root veggies with chickpea fritters and a Mill St Belgian Wit. Hits the spot.

    The poached chicken was great, but everything else disappoints: slow service, a beef brisket croissant that skimps on beef, and lacklustre gazpacho and coleslaw. Great people-watching though. Read more

    The vegetable curry is lovely--roasted vegetables, chickpeas, coconut rice & naan beautifully presented in a tagine. Not too spicy.

    Grab the Banana Split - a little big for two people, but you won't regret it afterwards. Delicious!

    If you're for breakfast then you must try the breakfast butty. They also have local fruit juices, and a cocoa laced pain au choc.

    The BBQ fries were overly salty with seasoning salt. They were inedible. The grilles shrimp was sloppy with Aioli over powering. The burger was pretty great though!

    The Israeli couscous with pesto & chicken was awesome. And a significant portion compared to my lunch partner's panini.

    The chicken was a bit on the dry side, which was pretty disappointing because of my positive experience with other O&B restos. Also - had a difficult experience paying w/ a gift card.

    Great food, awful server! At breakfast for 1.5 hours and had to ask for our food after an hour, a refill on coffee and water and had to ask another server for the bill so we could eventually leave!
