King’s Cafe $30 Gourmet [?]

Reviewed by Toronto LifeCome summer, this Kensington fave becomes an airy oasis where idle chatter bubbles onto the patio. Start off with one of nine healthful fresh-squeezed offerings—perhaps the Beauty Spa Express, made from spinach, carrots, apple and parsley. A royal helping of vegetable dumplings—finely diced shiitake mushrooms, cabbage and ginger in thin wheat wrappers—arrives crisp and lightly fried. At $7.49 for 15, it’s a boon for the budget minded. Tofu-chicken drumsticks are best described as chewy Pogos. A pile of eggplant, broccoli, corn and bell peppers arrives sizzling in a rich, spicy soy-mushroom sauce. Unlicensed.
