5 Cuisines Missing in Brampton
Published February 9, 2017 at 2:43 am
Busy worker bees polled by inbrampton.com say they’re on autopilot, mindlessly hitting up the same lunch spots, while visitors say they’ll search online and come up empty when it comes to specialty cuisine, thereby forced to leave the city.
There’s a plethora of South Asian options in B-Dot, but what’s missing? Here are a handful.
While residents don’t have to travel too far to dive into a monster poutine, RD’s move has left the city a little undernourished in the meat departmen. Although JB’S Street Meat is helping diners get their meat fix, it would be nice to see a few more BBQ options scattered throughout the city.
Nahla’s Cuisine on Dewside appears to be holding it down but let’s have some alternatives, right?
Salt fiends know all about those pickles and beautifully hued turnips … and to wash it all down, most mom-and-pop places make fresh juice or smoothies on the spot or offer Turkish coffee.
We highly doubt diners would sigh at the notion of another Mexican option–especially if it set up shot a little outside the downtown core.
Hence the dilemma … Main Street’s Carve on Lot 5, which offers bean soup and a few other vegan choices, is getting some buzz but only one solid option isn’t exactly inspiring, especially if you work in Toronto.
1) Tapas
Less is more…except if you’re looking to eat at a tapas place north of Hwy. 407. Tapas is incredibly hot right now and for good reason–share plates are awesome. There’s also something uniquely sexy and cool about tapas joints, especially since such restos tend to pair their on-trend Spanish-style offerings with mood lighting. All tapas joints make good after work and date hotspots, so it would be great to see a few more in B-Town.
