| - The food (if you can even call it that), at the airport is dismal, barely edible, not very fresh and completely over-priced. Mission Eatery is hidden away in an office building on Airport Road - it's called Airway Park (there are blue signs), 4 buildings, and it's super close to the gas stations and the intersection / stoplight.
This place is amazing, and I'm so happy that I finally went here after so many disappointing meals either by the airport, or in the airport. This is definitely 5 stars - affordable prices, healthy, fresh foods that make you feel like you went to your parents' house for a meal. They have their regular menu and 3-4 specials that are written on a chalkboard (and also on their website). The prices are reasonable too - I got soup and my salad for just about $10, which is what you would pay at the airport for some mediocre, bland salad.
I got a delicious broccoli lentil soup that was hearty and healthy (just pureed vegetables and lentils), with a hint of curry. It tasted homemade (I imagine it was), and was perfect to battle the cold outside.
The kale salad was good too - with cabbage, avocado, almonds & dried cranberry. There was a little bit too much dressing on there for my taste, but I should've gotten it on the side.
Great customer service too - everyone was super friendly and nice. And when the cashier discovered I was going to dine-in, she came over to my table and brought me silverware. Complete with a smile and some nice chit-chat - these basic things are often not found elsewhere.
All in all, a perfect place to come either right after you land or before you take off, or if you stay by the airport frequently. I'll definitely be back here again. I'd recommend to anyone traveling into or out of Toronto.
