I have been to the Beet for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it has never failed to impress and satisfy me. On a cozy corner of Dundas Street West, this bohemian eatery dons art on the walls from local artists and a giant chalkboard where you can find their daily specials, desserts and a vast list of teas, smoothies, wines and beer. The service is pleasant and prompt and they bring you a bottle of water with fresh lemon as soon as you sit down.
The huevos rancheros is the best I've ever had. Their pico de gallo is to die for and the use of plain avocados instead of guacamole makes the whole dish fresh and simple. I find other places tend to weigh this dish down with too many added spices and salt.
The tofu and avocado sandwich is my go-to for lunch. Get the salad with it. It's full of greens, beets, nuts and seeds with a brilliant green coriander dressing. The burgers are great too, there really isn't a disappointing item on the menu. Each dish is crafted thoughtfully and considerately.
I always feel energized after eating at the Beet, which is probably due to the food being local and organic whenever possible. Their organic coffee is spectacular and it's nice to take it out onto their patio when the weather's nice.
