  1. Try Cherry Blossom. I just moved away and already miss its lunch menu :(

    • I used to love the lunch at Cherry Blossom a few years back but haven’t been there for a long time. I did hear a little rumour that their chefs were Phillipino and not Japanese so that sort of turned me off a little. Will definitely give it a go and write a post about it :)

  2. Try Bernie’s Jazz Piano Cafe on Abbott Street

  3. I believe Bavarian Beerhouse have stopped their Lunch specials. Last week they weren’t running them….
