Avenue Café + Bistro located at 480 University Ave in Toronto

Right before we went to enjoy some of Toronto’s newest Thai-inspired ice cream rolls, we stopped at Avenue Café + Bistro for a quick bite.  Avenue Café + Bistro is literally located a stone’s throw away from the St. Patrick Subway Station in Toronto.  Currently, the exterior of the building that it resides at is undergoing construction, so you will have to take an extra look before entering the cafe.

It was a very classy cafe and bistro, one that I can see many business men and women working in the area to steal away for a quick lunch or snack.  The prices at this cafe and bistro are on the high side, but after trying the food here, I have to say it was worth the price.

Lots of tables for dining in!

These French pastries reminded me of cafés in France!

Lots of baguettes and sandwiches too!

We settled on sharing a Smoked Salmon Sandwich.  It came with a salad — Greek Salad was a choice.

Smoked Salmon Sandwich & Greek Salad. $12~

We ordered the sandwich and salad, received a ticket holder to place on our table, and our order was very shortly delivered to our table.

The smoked salmon sandwich was something so simple with slices of thick smoked salmon, cream cheese, spinach, between two pieces of French baguette, but it was so delicious!  The smoked salmon was thick and fresh.  The cream cheese was fresh and soft.  It was just a really great sandwich.  Who would have known?

Greek Salad with lots of fresh veggies like bell peppers?

You can really see the thick slices of smoked salmon in the sandwich here. Delicious! :9

They have a lot of other desserts and pastries available too!
