Rock N' Deli

As we were leaving Joey's, we saw a promotional sign for smoked meat sandwiches for $6.49. 

Rock N' Deli is a Montreal smoked meat company that opened a location in Toronto. 

 

There's a lot of smoked meat in the sandwich! The meat was really good - lots of flavour and it paired really nicely with the white bread.

Joey @ Shops at Don Mills

Feb 25, 2020

Joey's has happy hour from 3-6pm Monday - Friday and it's a great deal since they serve their regular priced dinner sized meals for a discount. It also applies Sun - Thurs from 9pm to close.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce wraps are so much fun! The flavours of the fried chicken, crispy noodles and mixed vegetables was on point. It worked really well with the fresh lettuce. 

Hand pressed burger

Everything about this burger worked well! The beef patty was cooked well, the ingredients were fresh and the bun was really nice. 

Chicken Buddha Bowl and Chili Chicken with cucumbers

The vegetable fritters and brown rice were my favourite parts of the Buddha bowl! The whole bowl was really good with a combination of textures and flavours. It was all tied together well with the heavier miso dressing (I thought it was hummus at first). 

 The chili chicken was REALLY GOOD! It's amazing what a little chili sauce can do since it elevated the fried chicken and cucumbers by adding a sweet and tangy flavour.

Shrimp lettuce wraps

The shrimp were so cute in the bowl and they were quite sweet, but they were overpowered by the sauce in the bowl and it made the dish kinda salty. It worked better when it was paired with the freshly washed lettuce.

Sliders

Mini cheeseburgers! Little morsels of deliciousness when you don't want to eat an entire hamburger.

I've been to the Joey's downtown, but this was my first time at the one at Don Mills. 

 Korean Fried Cauliflower and Tandoori Chicken Flatbread

The Korean cauliflower was really good.  It had some nice heat to it and it was almost as good as eating chicken bites (but it was the nice vegetarian option).  The flatbread was okay, but not particularly exceptional. 

Key Lime Pie

I LOVED this key lime pie! It was so worth the $10 I paid for it - absolutely delicious! It was rich, creamy and not too tart or sweet.  It managed to hit all the right notes despite almost crumbling and collapsing on itself.  It was an amazing note to end on since it was so perfectly balanced and the key lime custard was spot on.

Charmaine Sweets

Raspberry lemon scone $2.85 and lime melt-aways $2

The scone was hard on the outside and soft inside and the flavours were great. The lime melt-aways were nice with a hint of lime flavour, but they were a little on the expensive side $2 for 3 cookies.

Small Carrot Cake with pistachio buttercream icing $12.95

The carrot cake was super cute and it was green from the pistachio buttercream! The cake was moist and had good flavour (there are raisins in the cake). The light pistachio buttercream added a nutty flavour to the cake and the icing wasn't too sweet.
