Good Options
Lulu's Canadian Style Shawarma
8.8The concise counter menu makes Lulu's easy to navigate when dinner needs to be quick. Chicken Shawarma Loaded or Chicken on Rice provides a direct route to a filling meal with little planning.
Ola Bakery & Pastry
9.0The weekday rota gives the visit a simple strategy: choose a day around Canja, Caldo Verde, Bacalhau a Bras, Feijoada, or Carne de porco a Alentejana. It is useful for a low-fuss lunch when you still want Portuguese cooking.
The Burnt Tongue
9.0Daily service, counter ordering, and advance pickup make The Burnt Tongue easy to fit around a busy evening. A soup-and-sandwich order feels complete without requiring a drawn-out meal.
Pizzeria Bros
9.1Pizzas arrive quickly enough to make this an easy weeknight answer, yet the menu still offers meaningful choices beyond pepperoni and cheese. Sorrento or Miele can turn a hurried dinner into an order with real character.
Silver Wok
8.5Silver Wok solves the ordinary dinner problem well: a clear menu, current pickup ordering, classic Chinese comfort dishes, and enough rice, noodles, chicken, and appetizer options to cover different appetites quickly.
Hungry Dude
9.3Hungry Dude is built for the nights when dinner needs to be direct: order a burger, add poutine or fries, use the weekday combo rhythm, and keep the visit fast.
The Arch Noodle House
8.4Daily service from lunch through 10:30 p.m. gives The Arch a broad weeknight window. Dine-in, takeout, and delivery let the same noodle order fit different evenings.
Banh Mi Hue
9.5Banh Mi Hue is easy to use on a low-effort night or a rushed lunch because the order path is obvious. A sandwich, Fresh Rolls or Vietnamese Iced Coffee gives the meal shape without needing a reservation-style plan.
Famous Recipe
8.7For a quick downtown meal, Famous Recipe keeps the decision simple: pick a roti, curry, or snack and move on. The format is casual, fast, and better suited to a weeknight pickup than a long sit-down dinner.
Bonanza Bakery
8.8Bonanza Bakery solves the ordinary meal problem: get a substantial sandwich, keep the order simple and move on with the day. It is especially useful when nobody needs a big night out, just a reliable daytime counter stop with familiar hot and cold sub options.
Mountain Burger
9.1The quick-service format suits a straightforward weeknight burger run, whether you eat in or place a pickup order. Choose a composed burger and one side, then let the current online menu handle timing and availability.
Nannaa Persian Eatery
8.2This card fits because the weekly offer structure turns Nannaa into an easy weekday decision. Koobideh Monday, Tachin Tuesday and the Wednesday poutine feature all give repeat diners a reason to time the visit instead of treating the restaurant as a once-in-a-while Persian order.
O Cantinho Churrasqueira & Cafe
9.4O Cantinho is a reliable answer for a simple midweek meal: chicken when you want the signature order, sandwiches when you need speed, sides for sharing, and Portuguese features when you want something deeper.
Pinks Burgers
8.3Pinks is practical for a quick weeknight meal: burgers, gyros, sides, and shakes cover the craving without a complicated ordering flow, and pickup keeps it easy.
Pho Dui Bo
8.5Daily lunch and dinner hours make Pho Dui Bo a practical choice when a weeknight meal needs range without ceremony. A bowl of Phở Tái can stay simple, while rolls or mango salad expand the order when more variety is wanted.
Broadway Diner
8.9This is a dependable weeknight solve when the goal is comfort, value, and low friction. The menu has enough breadth for repeat visits, and the diner format keeps the decision easier than planning around a more formal room.
Shorty's Pizza
8.6Phone pickup and delivery make Shorty’s useful when dinner needs a clear, low-friction plan. A cheese or pepperoni pie keeps the order simple, while White or Elote adds enough contrast for a shared weeknight meal.
Merit Brewing
9.3The best weeknight angle is timing: Tuesday Jays game hot dogs run from 5 PM to 10 PM, while Wednesday brings the Fry Flight from 5 PM to 11 PM with an optional beer-flight pairing.
