restaurant recommendation for lunch [Food/Vendor]

2015 Dec 15
I am looking to take someone out for their special birthday, one of those birthdays that ends in a 0. I would like it to be in Westboro, or perhaps Wellington West or Hintonburg. I would like a nice place, rather like what Juniper was. I checked the menu at Gezellig and for the first time ever did not find it appealing. Any suggestions?

Carben comes highly rated...

Thanks, AD_2, but sadly, they don't do lunch.

Allium is my favourite in that area, but I don't venture into Westboro that often...

Petit Bill's

I second Petit Bill's!!

Absinthe always delivers

I'd say Allium or Wellington Gastropub.

Gezellig also offers a great lunch menu.

My go to list for lunch Westboro/ Hintonburg:

- Absinthe
- Allium
- Gezellig
- Petit Bills
- Wellington Gastropub
- Elmdale oyster house
- Hintonburg public house

I like Absinthe, Allium and Savoy Brasserie, followed by Petit Bill's. If you care to venture to The Glebe The Urban Pear is also nice.

I like Wellington Gastropub, Petit Bill's and Allium in Westboro if Gezellig is out.

If you don't have to do it on the actual day, also check out Gezellig's brunch menu for Sunday if you are not so hot on the lunch menu.

Great recos upthread.
The Savoy is also nice.

Thank you all, and a special thank you to Food travel as brunch had not occurred to us. We have made a reservation for brunch at Gezellig.
