I had heard some mixed reviews about Ultimate Cafe. Being in the King and Spadina area this weekend around lunch time, hunger, convenience and the rain drove me to try it.
The inside was nice enough and had some funky decorations (something that always catches my eye); there was the huge exhaust duct hanging from the ceiling-haven't seen that in a restaurant on King St. before!...Ok, what everyone really cares about is the food and service, right?
Well, I ordered the Montreal smoked meat and butternut squash soup and was pleasantly surprised; the food was great! The service, however was sub-par, but I did notice a Hiring Now sign in the window.
Overall, I can't complain; lunch was cheap and my stomach was satisfied. It's nothing special. We've probably all been to a place like this in Toronto; just another restaurant, nothing more.
