Rose City Kitchen

This cozy 15-seater makes for a special lunchtime addition to the burger-choked Alexandra Park landscape. The snackbar-style setting serves up quick and tasty Mediterranean-style sandwiches, falafels and poutine, all with a decidedly healthy bent to them. Everything is prepared in house, including the stone-oven baked pita breads and the zingy Jordanian hummous in which to dip them. This sunny spot is the introductory location for what promises to be a Middle Eastern snack bar chain that will eventually extend its reach across the city.
