Restaurant Comings & Goings

But again, the nearest IKEA to Toronto subway stations are the North York (Leslie station) and Vaughan (VMC station) locations.

I was beginning to think that TTC planning was purposely making a Subway system to IKEA destinations.

I paid $25 but I got the big breakfast usually.

2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausages, home fries and toast with 2 coffees.

Before anyone asks I was eating alone.

$25 seems like a rip-off compared to other premium breakfast only restaurants downtown. Take for example the Sunset grill:

https://sunsetgrill.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/STANDARD-WEB-Menu_sep20.pdf

THREE Eggs, FIVE strips of bacon (not 2) Thick toast and home fries : $9.99

add to that :

"Sunset Super" Two Eggs, Two Pancakes and home fries: $8.99

So we are now up to just under $19 dollars

Add two cups of coffee at $2.49 each and we have FAR MORE food for just under $25 dollars:

5 Eggs
5 Strips of Bacon
2 orders of home fries
2 pancakes
1 order of thick toast (with Jam)
2 cups of coffee

I have found most places where it's $25 plus at least in Ontario includes bottomless mimosa.

With alcohol in it? Too good to be true.

Subway to Etobicoke IKEA, anyone?

The free IKEA shuttle bus travels back and forth between the store and Kipling station every half hour.

There very popular but not cheap.

Don't give Burlington any ideas.

Subway to Etobicoke IKEA, anyone?

I'm still a big believer that The Queensway should have an LRT, which while not a subway, would bring the Etobicoke IKEA into the Toronto rapid transit network.
