Chez Simon Cantine Urbaine

It doesn’t get better than a burger bursting with goodness with a side of chili cheese fries (think: house chili, cheddar, coriander, sour cream and mustard—on demand).

We’re team chicken poutine with a Portuguese Combo: chicken croquette, grilled chouriço and a nata to finish it off on a sweet note.

Salivating just thinking about the deeply comforting chicken and chorizo paella: free-range chicken and Spanish chorizo served with Lima green beans, organic Bomba saffron rice, parsley and lemon.

We dare you to resist this chicken parm sandwich: basil oil, mozzarella, chicken cutlet, tomato sauce, parmesan, hot peppers and rapini.

Le Blossom

Say yes to the torched Sushi: we love the spicy salmon—a thick slice of seared salmon, rice mixed with Japanese spices, tempura shrimp, unagi sauce and spicy mayonnaise.

Tunnel Espresso

Nothing pairs better with Tunnel’s cozy cappuccinos than one of oversized cookies bursting with sweet-tooth goodness.

Marusan

Why have one comfort food when you can have two? The Karaage Curry served with Japanese fried chicken is the key to our happiness this fall.

General Tao (with a choice of chicken, shrimp or fried tofu served with chef’s salad and rice) is always a winner.
