| - One of my top downtown places to grab lunch on the go! Located on the second level of the Scotia Centre, the market is open weekdays from 7am - 4pm with a rotating menu of breakfast and lunch options. There's hot food stations, a bakery at the back, shelves with freshly baked bread, sauces, tea, and other goodies, and two open fridges with salads, fruit, charcuterie plates for one, sandwiches and to go meals.
Breakfast is served until 10am with a breakfast sandwiches ($6), frittatas ($3.50) and made-to-order omelets ($6). Lunch is served from 11am - 1pm and there's four different stations. The menu is posted online each day (http://culinarycampus.ca/our-daily-menu.php), at the entrance and at each station.
The Rottiserie has two daily choices served on a long bun - their signature prime rib and a daily feature. The prime rib ($9) is one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten (super tender meat sliced infront of you, some light greens, olive oil and chunks of sea salt) that I would eat every day if I wouldn't double in size as a result. The Braise section ($9.50) is the most popular and includes your choice of starch (usually rice or potatoes), two serves of veggies (there's always two options, or you can grab more of a starch), and a choice of two meat dishes. The soups (two, $3-$5) are hiding on the left hand side of the Braise counter, hover by the soup sign and someone will come over to help you rather than joining the big line for Braise. The Saute section ($8.5) is split into the two different dishes for the day, which they'll cook infront of you - plus there's usually an example plate there to show you what it will look like. These tend to be meals on rice, pasta or noodles.
To pay, a queue will form next to the Braise section and you'll be signalled from one of the four registers when they're ready for you. Service is always friendly and you can pay by cash, debit or credit. If you need any condiments, stop at the counter on the right hand side on your way out after you've paid.
The food quality is always great and the menu rotates through so I always swing by whenever my favourites are on the menu. Or for the prime rib when I want to indulge! Happy eating!
