Thanks for the intro Dil. Let me help flesh out the final verdict. Lipstick & Dynamite is, pun intended, dynamite! I stopped in post checking out Citizenry after one of the owners of Citizenry recommended L & D (FYI: Citizenry is a phenomenal cafe/boutique a few shops over). The food at Lipstick & Dynamite is great, and the service is wonderful. I got asked by two different employees (owner and cook) how my food was. How often can you say that?
The food is all vegetarian and vegan (there are some things with cheese that can be made with vegan cheese) but you would have no clue just looking at the exterior/interior of the restaurant. And you carnivores and omnivores out there, you will not miss anything when it comes to the food here. I eat milk and meat, and I just had one of the best sandwiches of my life and it was vegan. With Joni Mitchell playing on the stereo and a dive bar feel, this place cannot be pigeonholed into any one category. A big hell yes to L & D. Thank you for staying open late and for being so reasonably priced. You are a wholesome alternative to pricier options on the Ossington Strip.
Definitely give this place a try if you are hungry or down for some drinks.
