What justmyimpression likes about By The Way Cafe:
There's just something different about this place that I really wanted to come back here again and was not disappointed. It's hard to find good restaurants that serve breakfast. This is it!!!! View all feedback. What Saucysavory doesn't like about By The Way Cafe:
It is a pleasant spot looking out onto Bloor Street. A very thick curtain hangs in the doorway to help block blasts of cold air as patrons enter. The menu offers a variety of items with a Mediterranean influence. Serving portions are good. I enjoyed the beet walnut salad with chicken. It is a very popular place and reservations would be recommended. Service was cheerful but she was also very busy. It’s nice when they... View all feedback.

Met a friend here for a quiet weekday lunch. Food and service were both fantastic. Great spot to relax.

By The Way offers a pleasant dining experience with a Mediterranean influence, offering good portion sizes and popular menu items like the beet walnut salad with chicken. While the service can be busy and inattentive at times, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is welcoming. However, some customers have reported being asked to leave abruptly, while others have praised the accommodating staff and interesting menu items. Overall, By The Way is a charming spot in a central location, ideal for a casual meal with friends or a quiet solo dining experience.

We sat outside even though it was cool, and enjoyed our meals and the conversation. I had the lamb pita with fries: very good.
