| - Fresh, magnificent food. I live and work nearby and it is hard not to walk by Cafe Fiorentina without something on the menu calling my name.
The quiches are reliably wonderful, rich yet light and fluffy. The classically dressed salad served alongside is a perfect counterpoint. The panini are a hit every time, and run the gamut from an old-fashioned egg salad to heavy, mouthwatering creations of beef cheek, pork belly or seared tuna with tart, zingy relishes. The rotating menu confounds boredom and there is always something new and interesting alongside the old favourites.
Not to forget the spread of pastries which are are simply fantastic. The carrot cake is a favourite, as are the cheesecake muffins, but, but if there are fresh beignets, make a bee-line for these above all else and enjoy with a cappuccino. Doubly so, if they have sour cherry filled ones left.
Prices are absolutely reasonable given the quality of the ingredients. You may have to wait a pause if they are busy, for table service or take-out, but when you consider that your food is being prepared as you wait, it is well worth it. Relax with a magazine and consider the bounty about to appear before you.
A very, very welcome addition to the Danforth restaurant scene.
