We love living right outside of Kensington Market. There's just so much options, not only for all kinds of groceries but also for a quick bite! The Grilled Cheese is just 5 minutes away from my place, so that's where we headed for Sunday's lunch.
If you're looking for a good grilled cheese sandwich, this is where you need to go. Grilled cheeses are all they have here, but don't just expect the average ones you see everyday, this place offers creative twists to the much loved sandwich.
When I walked into the Grilled Cheese, a thought came into my mind immediately, this place should be in a ski resort! The wood benches, tables and cozy fire place reminded me of those ski resort cabins that serve poutines and pulled pork sandwiches. I love the cozy-Canadian-feel to it.
It was hard to pick something from the menu, because everything sounds so delicious and the ingredients are all very well balanced. I eventually chose the Mushroom Madness (cheddar, grilled portobello and cremini) with added bacon, and Gabe had the Grilled Motzy (fresh mozzarella, bazil pesto, arugula and vinaigrette) and off course added bacon (We're pretty serious about bacon, I tell ya.). Gabe also ordered a bowl of homemade tomato soup because he never feels he's full enough!
I really liked my mushroom grilled cheese, but I think next time I'm going to opt out the extra bacon, the mushrooms would be better appreciated on their own in my opinion. Gabe's sandwich was really good too, the pesto is distinct and there's quite a bit of arugula, which we love! The tomato soup is delicious, and even better when you dip your sandwich in it!
If you don't think a grilled cheese can get you full, you're wrong, these delicious devils can fill you up pretty quickly, plus your order also comes with a handful of chips and a pickle. If that's not enough for you, a bowl of homemade soup will definitely fill you up!
