MilkHot DogRESTAURANT GUIDE FOR DOWNTOWN OSHAWA

INTRODUCTION

All of Downtown Oshawa’s cafes and restaurants are notable for one reason or another; however, with limited space, we cannot feature them all. Those that are amazing, or have gathered much acclaim, or offer an interesting experience are featured in the front; we try to mix this up from year to year. There are others that deserve honourable mention, and thereby are highlighted below. Also because of space limitations, the restaurants in the Costco Power Centre, such as Panera Bread, Fire-house Subs and Thai Express, do not receive coverage in this guide. We thank the Downtown Oshawa BIA (www.downtownoshawa.ca) for their assistance in producing Let’s Eat.

To see who has the best jerked chicken, you’ll have to visit Beryl’s Pepperpot, Caribbean Flavah, and Yola’s Caribbean Cuisine. Jimmy Guaco’s Bordertown Burritos is a Tex-Mex ex-perience like none other; open really late on Saturday nights.

The live music scene continues to grow. For the latest, check out the Oshawa Music Hall, Moustache Club, The Junction and Wasted Space on Facebook. The Regent Theatre offers live music & movies nights, while sports & entertainment are the specialty at the GM Centre.

HONOURABLE MENTION

For Brazilian treats, custom cakes made-to-order, a tasty light lunch, or a coffee meeting off-the-grid, Felicios Cake Boutique is located on Albert St. Nourished On The Go is the only cafe Downtown that serves Vegan fair exclusively. With daily specials (listed online) and a specialty in gourmet burgers - The Patty Shack is the home of the Power Pounder. Fazio’s Restaurant & Wine Experience is truly the only fine dining experience in Downtown Oshawa; this is the place to be for a special occasion.

For Pizza, both Pompeii Pizzeria and Reginos Pizza have a following. Riley’s Olde Towne Pub is a pre-hockey game fav, with pub fare and a variety of unique spaces (pub, piano bar, pool room). Located on Bond St., Oshawa Thai Cuisine is a Downtown main stay, with dine-in, take-out and delivery options. Some say that Maharaja Authentic Indian Cuisine offers the best Indian food in Durham Region; open 7 days 11am-10pm.

Open lunch & dinner, Monday-Saturday, Maza Kabob is the only place Downtown that focuses on Halal Afghani dishes; however, it is not easy to find - located at the rear of Mike’s Place or accessible via a public parking lot on Athol Street.

Open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm, Tutto is located on Simcoe Street South next door to Fazio’s. Tutto is not fast food; it is quality food that is ready-for-consumption, including fresh fruits, salads, gourmet sandwiches, and desserts. Freezers contain ready-meals for home or the cottage, such as lasagna and Ace Bakery breads, while the hot express lunch table contains a variety of good regular eats, plus specials like osso buco, roasted turkey, file of sole and maple bacon mac ‘n’ cheese. If you are lucky, the daily spe-cials will include the ever so popular Arancini (stuffed rice balls). Tutto also caters.

Editor’s Choice - Lunch for Two: for an entrée from the lunch table, try Chicken Parmigiano, which is breaded and served in a plum tomato sauce with mozzarella cheese; a feature (pasta, rice or potato) and two vegetable sides accompany entrées ($11).

PizzaMunno is a new family establishment in Downtown Oshawa, with a mission to preserve the authenticity of real village Italian pizza. Both the sauce and dough are made daily, while many of the meat ingredients are from a local butcher. The sauce and dough do not contain dairy, ani-mal products, preservatives, concentrates, added sugars, or coloring. Custom pizzas are priced by the size and by the quantity of toppings, starting at

$10 for medium and $12 for a large, while Baked Calzone are $7 and Salads $4. PizzaMunno delivers and caters. Open 7 days a week, lunch through late evening.

Most en-trées are $12-15, with the best values coming from the Noodle & Rice or Vegetable menus. Group and family menu combinations, take-out and delivery services are available.

The Oven Roasted Chicken sandwich is exceptional (roasted chicken, lettuce, tomato, provolone on multigrain bread, $6.50).

Darryl Koster

There are far too many things on the menu at Buster Rhino’s that will make you hungry, and there’s lots happening at Busters – whisky tasting nights (as they have 140+ different whiskeys), comedy nights and live music nights. They have the only seasonal patio in Oshawa that occupies part of the street!

Editor’s Choice - Dinner for Two: order one of 12 local craft beers on tap to start ($6+/-). Share Pop Caps (fried jalapeno) and a Cornbread Basket as appetizers ($8 and $7).

BUSTER RHINO’S SOUTHERN BBQ28 King Street East, Downtown Oshawawww.busterrhinos.com905.432.8350

Mediterranean Gyroworks is an off-the-grid place – almost invisible on the internet – but frequented by all those that have found it. It is probably the greatest value per pound of food in Downtown Os-hawa, as evidenced by the long line of construc-tion workers and students at lunch. The special-ties are Shawarma (pita, plates, or souvlaki style), Falafels, and Greek Salads. The smell and sight of the Shawarma flame cooking is a culinary expe-

rience in itself. The place is open Monday-Satur-day, lunch to dinner.

Editor’s Choice - Lunch for Two: no one person can eat all of this, but order a Shawarma Pita Wrap each, with all the fixings. The sheer quantity of food will form half the lunchtime conversation. Plan to spend $8.65 each for a combo, which comes with a drink. Net cost Lunch for Two, with drinks: $17.30.

BERRY HILL FOOD COMPANY82 King Street West, Downtown Oshawa905.240.9055

Sarah Groen

Now in their 3rd year, Berry Hill continues to broad-en their offerings: catering, weekend brunches, the hidden rear patio, home-catered holiday meals, and starting in the spring of 2016 – gourmet evening meals. The philosophy at Berry Hill is to celebrate life simple pleasures, fresh juiced oranges, house baked desserts, farm to cup coffee and real hollandaise. They aim to make sustainable choices, together with butchers, farmers, roasters and other hard working suppliers in our community. The new dinner menu will bring to the plate meats and fresh vegetables raised and grown with in Durham Region, and fresh Ocean Wise seafood - Real Food with Real Ingredi-ents, as they say.

Editor’s Choice - Saturday Brunch for Two: try one of their famous Eggs Benes, like the SmokedSalmon with capers & red unions, served with a fresh fruit salad and B.H. breakfast potatoes ($13.50). Or, try Our Famous Banana French Toast with coconut rum caramel bananas over egg dipped toast ($11.50). Add for each patron a cup of direct trade, organic coffee to start, and a Strawber-ry Mimosa with fresh juiced strawberries & prosecco with the meal ($2, $8.50). Net cost Brunch for Two, with two drinks each: $46.

BERRY HILL FOOD COMPANY

A Durham Region Sicilian family introduced Avanti Trattoria to Downtown Oshawa almost 10 years ago. Its popularity never seems to wane. A trattoria is an Italian-style eating establishment, less formal than a ristorante. Avanti features fine architectural finishes and a large patio of European flavour. For lunch, many will gravitate to the interesting Insalate ($7-11) or Panini ($9-11) menus, but we like dinner here.

AVANTI TRATTORIA17 King Street East, Downtown Oshawawww.avantifood.com905.404.8040

Editor’s Choice - Dinner for Two: For the Antipasto course, share the Brushetta ($6.25) or another great appetizer.

Jack Chang

Located in Downtown Oshawa on Simcoe North for nearly a decade, Osaka Sushi appeals to the office market and university students alike. Osaka Sushi is a reliable, affordable and comfortable dining experi-ence. The service is quick and efficient.

Editor’s Choice - Lunch for Two: The All You Can Eat week-day lunch ($12) will universally appeal to the sushi fan and novice alike. If you are with the uninitiated, focus on the California Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Beef Teriyaki and Gyoza (deep fried dumpling). The Salmon, Red Snapper and White Tuna Sushi are never fail, however - the Oshawa Roll (6pcs) spicy shrimp, and crabmeat, topped with eel and avocado should not be missed. Net cost Lunch for Two, without drinks: $24.

OSAKA SUSHI

The White Apron is located on Bond Street, across from the GO Bus Terminal. The restaurant setting is the reminiscent quality of a Restoration Hard-ware catalog and the service is attentive. The owner Peter is a familiar face, as he has been in the restaurant industry for 40 years, having owned successful restaurants in Toronto and Oshawa. White Apron is open from 7am to 3pm 7 days a week. The focus is on all day breakfast and the

French Colonial, Vietnamese-inspired Bánh Mì Sandwich; entrées average $7-10 – you will get your money’s worth.

Nathan Beatty

Located at 15 Simcoe St N, 15 Sports & Grill is a unique food and entertainment establishment bring-ing pub fair and 18 craft & domestic beers on tap to Oshawa’s Downtown. With 10 large screen HD TVs there is not a bad seat in the house to take in a game. The bar also features open mic nights and ka-raoke nights.

Entrées include the usual pub fare of wings, fish and chips, tacos, wraps and burgers ($11-18).

Net cost Dinner for One, without draft beer: $19.

Nourished On The Go is dedicated to healthy, re-sponsible and compassionate food; which is what defines vegan cuisine. They sell healthy gourmet vegan food, frozen soups and stews in a fast-food setting. Although, fast-food usually produces waste - Nourished On The Go uses compostable contain-ers and utensils.

All of Downtown Oshawa’s cafes and restaurants are notable for one reason or another; however, with limited space, we cannot feature them all. Those that are amazing, or have gathered much acclaim, or offer an interesting experience are featured in the front; we try to mix this up from year to year. There are others that deserve honourable mention, and thereby are highlighted below. Also because of space limitations, the restaurants in the Costco Power Centre, such as Panera Bread, Fire-house Subs and Thai Express, do not receive coverage in this guide.
