SweetLulu lets you design your own Asian-inspired dish with their 5-step menu. Choose your noodle or rice, your flavour (from curries to broths), then add herbs, vegetables, proteins, and toppings for a quick lunch that’s made just the way you like it.

b.Good, a restaurant in The Financial District

b.good

If you’re searching for a quick meal without the slow afternoon, lunch from b.good will get you through the day. It started with two friends and the concept of making people feel good about what they’re eating, and has grown to have 5 locations across Toronto and Oakville today. Try the Spicey Avocado and Lime bowl for a filling but not heavy lunch–it’s our favourite.

Marché

As an all-in-one marketplace with a range of cuisines, Marché has something for everyone. It challenges the speed of ready-made meals by preparing dishes on the spot, to let you leave in minutes. Scope out the various food stations, from Italian to Asian, Grill to Greens, and a variety of beverage bars, before making your final decisions.

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

Potbelly Sandwich Shop is a newcomer to the neighbourhood (and Canada). The Chicago-based chain has a reputation for warm, toasty sandwiches that are sure to satisfy. Try ‘The Wreck’, one of Potbelly’s Signatures. And if you’re not in a huge hurry, enjoy it to the tunes of local musicians who play in the shop regularly.
