Eat local: Food for thought @ Bannatyne Campus

September 14, 2021 — 

Faculty, staff and students who have been working remotely from home for 18 months will probably be craving a meal from their favourite lunch spot in the Brodie Centre or Bannatyne campus area as limited in-person activity ramps up.

Aramark Food Services’ Starbucks, Tim Hortons and pop-up Burrito Splendido are open in Brodie Centre and the campus is surrounded by restaurants serving up international cuisine – from Ethiopian to Thai to Italian.

Head to Brodie or try a new eatery for dine-in, pickup or delivery where you’ll be supporting a local business in the area and may even discover a new dish.

If you’re now back working or studying on campus, you can cross Notre Dame Avenue or Sherbrook Street for a delicious meal from one of these restaurants:

Altanour Restaurant and Deli
587 Notre Dame Avenue

The menu at this Lebanese restaurant includes shawarma, kabob and falafel wraps. There are also more than a dozen platters to choose from, including biryani with a quarter-roasted chicken, grilled whole tilapia with rice and hummus topped with shawarma meat. For dessert, enjoy kanafeh, baklava or atief. 

Gohe Ethiopian Restaurant
595 Notre Dame Avenue

This Ethiopian restaurant offers a variety of chicken, beef and veggie dishes – from doro wot to alecha wot to misir wot. If you can’t decide on just one dish, try a combo and sample a variety of meat or veggie items. Dishes are served with injera.
