4.5 stars!
While craving for some comfort food, I ended up at The Grilled Cheese, in the heart of Kensington Market.
The space is really casual - no frills with limited seating and a picnic table out front. I'd be careful about coming here on a really busy day. I can see the sandwiches taking a while since they don't have very much space to grill all the sandwiches.
What went in my belly:
The Black Jack - jalapeno, havarti, tomato, spinach & black olive pesto ($6). The cashier informed us this was their most popular sandwich, so I was sold. There was a generous amount of cheese sandwiched between thick slices of buttery bread and we both loved the saltiness from the black olive pesto. Comfort food at its best! I can see why this is so popular!
Apple Bacon Crisp - Ida red apples, caramelized onions, bacon & cheddar ($8) which appeared to be one of the specials of the day. When I first read the name of the sandwich, I thought it was a dessert. Despite being on the heavy and side (it's a grilled cheese after all), it was a fantastic grilled cheese. If you're a fan of the sweet and savoury combination, you'd love this - the sweetness from the apples and caramelized onions and the saltiness from the bacon was delicious.
While I can't attest to most of their menu, I loved the Black Jack and Apple Bacon Crisp. You can bet I'll be back to try their other offerings!
