| - If I were an urban planner and had the task of inviting people to open businesses in my utopia, I'd for sure send an invite to The Grilled Cheese. I have visions of people parading into my city (which I'd probably call "Kensington") and dancing in the streets with the joy of living off of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. Imagine how happy everyone would be if they never had to live without gourmet grilled cheese!
As you might conclude from the name, The Grilled Cheese serves only grilled cheese. They have about a dozen choices to choose from (I was beyond pleased with my selection of mushroom madness, which comprised of fancy cheddar, portobello mushrooms, and roasted garlic and my dining company went with the dill-iscious sandwich, both of which were $6.78 including tax) and on occasion there is a daily special. There are more meaty ones than not but I bet if you asked them to rearrange a sandwich for you, they would. They were super nice.
The place is sleek and very different from the layout of Goed Eten, the former inhabitant of the spot. Inside, TGC has a beautiful! wooden interior, with inviting tables and booths, each one dimly lit with a small candle.
The people running the place were really friendly and the place itself was quiet. I am not quite sure what time of the week would be the busiest at a restaurant that only sells grilled cheese, but around 8 on a Wednesday it was a bit sleepy.
What is particularly brilliant is the location: it's located across the street from Ronnie's, and what better way to end an evening with an amazing grilled cheese sandwich than with a good beer?
Personally speaking, my friend and I opted for milkshakes on Bloor instead because it is no secret that grilled cheese and chocolate milk go hand in hand. I didn't really see a choice of beverages offered at TGC, but if they are looking to add a few items, I would for sure suggest that they serve milkshakes.
Each sandwich is served in a biodegradable container (I have mixed feelings about that) with a Strub's pickle slice and some very average (although unexpected) tortilla chips.
I said it before as I was leaving the restaurant tonight, but I'll say it again: See you soon!
