Tucked away on Hayden St. near the Yonge & Bloor intersection, Salad House is one of those contestants for hidden gem status. This place has Seinfeld-like feel to it. People line up here during the lunch rush and usually come with someone else to talk to during the long wait. You can be in and out of here in about 10-15 minutes on average, perhaps even longer. But the wait is worth it if you're hungry for a tasty and refreshing salad.

I must admit that there are a few obvious flaws about this place which would potentially disappoint some people. But the quality of the salad overrules all of that in my books. I wouldn't come here every day, and definitely not during the lunch hour. They aren't open on weekends, which is another issue. They're extremely small for the size of the crowds that come here, and would benefit from moving into a larger location. But for the value and price, this place is definitely in my top places to get salad in the downtown area.
