a hungarian hideaway

The Coffee Mill

after expressing our mutual love for this little Hungarian hideaway, three girls couldn’t resist the opportunity to rally there for a late lunch date. This old world Toronto establishment nestled amongst several trendy oh so seen and be seen hot spots, is a humble hangout for the true Torontonian through and through. Tables filled with downtown dwellers…young and old alike, this classic European coffee house serves up delicious delights for the both the sweetest and most savory tooth. Normally ordering the signature goulash (meal size of course), today in a last minute game time decision after much discussion over the veal paprikash I decided to take a leap of faith….. I was not disappointed. The tender dish was oh so succulent and has one of those sauces that you couldn’t help but soak up with your well buttered bread. Over good conversation and hearty dishes we laughed, dined and relished in the company of this time honored resturant. A Coffee Mill meal would not be complete without a slice of their infamously sinful carrot cake. So moist and yummy with the perfect amount of icing, this sweet treat is so coveted that it is not uncommon to come across a diner who refuses to share even one single bite…… I love this little treasure, it is cute, quaint and a little spot that i always come home to....Dieter beware, the Coffee Mill’s menu is heavy, rich and not fit for the calorie counter at heart but let me tell you it is worth every weight watchers point…..guaranteed!

The open face tuna sandwich with strategically placed olive bits on lightly toasted rye is also incredible there!!
