| - I've always thought this restaurant was in a weird place. I mean, as much as people want to love Queen Street and all it's trendiness, this strip has always been sketchy to me (the presence of Michael's sure isn't helping).
Because of its surroundings, I was shocked when I walked into Epicure and was in a whole other world. It's so cute! And clean! And nice! The first time I came here I was fresh out of high school, and I remember glancing at the dinner menu and my jaw dropped at all of the $25 and $30 entrees. Luckily, we were there for lunch, and they had a huge selection of sandwiches, soups and salads that all looked amazing. I had a burger and it was absolutely delicious, and everything was moderately priced.
Epicure doesn't do anything out of the ordinary for fine dining restaurants (they stick to the French and Italian-style foods) but it does sit on the line between fine dining and casual dining, allowing us common folk to have the privilege of eating delicious food made with fresh ingredients without spending an absolute fortune.
If you're on Queen Street and walking east of Bathurst starts to scare you a little, then you see the congregation around Michael's and want to run screaming, you should just run towards Epicure and you'll have one of the best dining experiences in the neighbourhood.
