| - Since my days are more open now (thank you, recession!), I like to take long walks, exploring various neighbourhoods which by the end of my journey, find a place to put my feet up. One such neighbourhood is Parkdale, and my quest to find the perfect place to enjoy a decent affordable meal, sit in peace (or away from screaming children that frequent places during the lunch hour - sorry parents!) and not feel rushed to leave before I digest my meal. Poor John's Cafe is my go-to place for all of the above.
The food is quite tasty, fresh with decent sized portions, and I'll have to agree with Tony in the previous review, the coffee is good as well. For the next little while, they have special Recession Mondays menu where you can enjoy certain meal for a cheap price. I had a sandwich, salad and a coffee for less than $10.
Be sure to save up a little bit for their Foodie Fridays. They did have them a year ago but again with the recession and all, they might not offer this on a regular basis. If they do, reserve a seat with a friend or two and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic multi-course meal (it might be 4 or 5 course). They price it at $75 per person but the high price is worth it if you want to enjoy a nice dinner in an unpretentious environment.
