On a warm and sunny afternoon, students from Centennial College near Pape and Mortimer can be seen flocking to California.
Located at 914 Pape Avenue on the north-west corner of Mortimer Avenue., California is the perfect restaurant during lunch hour for students due to the reasonably priced menu and the always friendly staff.
Two students from the college shared their thoughts on the restaurant. “When I ordered a poutine, which is not on the menu, they made it for me and it was delicious,” said Gena Hannah, a student from Centennial College.
Andreanna Browne says, “It’s a really nice place for students to go and unwind during school hours. One of my best memories with my classmates was at California.”
It is also a hit amongst local residents in the East York neighbourhood.
Those looking for a romantic getaway, a get together with friends, or a place to sit down and eat, need look no further.
The menu offers some of the most indulging dishes in East York: the New York Strip Lon is top notch, and the California-style burgers are to die for. They also have salads, soups, and even a few breakfast dishes.
This time of year, California is even more appealing because of its lovely patio, always adorned with well cared for shrubbery, trees, and flowers. And the bathrooms here are among the cleanest anywhere.
