Tucked away in a small commercial office area is a the gem of a restaurant called Porta Via. I've been in the area for about a year now and had no idea it even existed. Parking is scarce nearby so you may have to drive around the parking lot to find a spot.
There was a long lineup at the restaurant however service is very quick and friendly. Sandwiches or wraps come with a soup or salad on the side, so a filling meal is easy to have.
I set my eyes on the Tuscan Chicken panini which consisted of sundried tomato paste, grilled chicken, grilled sweet peppers, and lastly goat cheese.
The combination of these ingredients was simply incredible. Every bite was bittersweet with the experience of the panini leaving me amazed but upset knowing I was one bite closer to finishing my panini.
For my side I went with the vegan tomato basil soup that was the perfect thickness. It was creamy and full of flavour and formed the perfect combo with the panini.
The menu consists of many different options of deli meats, chicken, beef and vegetarian options.
I cannot wait to discover the rest of the menu and recommend trying Porta Via for lunch whenever in the area!
