"I started coming here out of revenge, to appease my rage against the neighbouring restaurant Rasa (stupid name), who bought up one of the best patios in the entire city when the lovely little family-owned Lebanese restaurant Momo's went out of business. They promptly ripped out the beautiful grapevine that bathed the patio in a gorgeous dappled shade, painted the building an ugly grey colour, and - the worst - got rid of lunch service. Now, what WAS a gorgeous, beautiful little lunch spot is an ugly, bare, concrete, overpriced hipster joint, and all the families, faculty and staff from U of T are left with one less place to have lunch in the good-eating desert that is the U of T campus. Say hello to the hipsterification of Harbord. Ugh. DEPRESSING. \n\nHowever: there is a massive silver lining, in that this has forced me to discover Harvest Kitchen. I never came here when it was Tati Bistro because it always seemed a little too fancy for a workday lunch. When Momo's closed, I was forced to look elsewhere, so I gave what had become Harvest Kitchen a try. Wow - I couldn't BELIEVE it. All this time, there was a patio almost as nice as Momo's right next door, but hidden up in the treetops! (Now, of course, given Rasa's \"renovations\", it is an infinitely better patio.) It's seriously gorgeous up there: relaxed, shady, stylish, comfortable, and there's even Wifi!! They have great coffee, beer specials in the afternoons, and the food is pretty darn good. There are lots of options - plenty of healthy vegan type stuff for those on a health kick, but also burgers and meat aplenty if you're in the mood for that. You can tell the food is made with care and consideration. Most of the stuff they use is organic/local, but the prices are really reasonable. The service is great - they always have (more than?) enough staff on, and they staff are unfailingly attentive and friendly. I couldn't ask for more, really. It has become my go-to lunch spot when I'm on campus, and I would love to come for dinner one evening when the gorgeous tree-covered deck is lit up. What are you waiting for???"^^ . "5"^^ . "3"^^ .
