Airport Gate Cafe & Grill

L’extérieur n’est pas très glamour mais l’intérieur est bien. Le déjeuner proposé toute la journée me plaît, ça m’arrange de pas devoir super tôt après un vol. Les prix sont très raisonnables. Il y a une diversité de plats: du petit déjeuner classique, au steak, aux burgers. Ils offrent des petits desserts différents des cupcakes aux baklavas, selon la journée. Le service est agréable et rapide.

I have visited this place many times for dinner and ordered variety of items (fish n chips, steaks, wrap and souvlaki) because my business trips sometimes require me to stay around the airport. Don’t expect too much. It’s a step up from subway and Timmy as food is made fresh and has better quality (not by a lot tho) than fast food. However, the good thing about this place is that it’s never busy and the seating is somewhat comfortable. Perfect for people to come and chat or do some work while having a bite.

If I could give a zero that’s what it would be. Ordered bacon and eggs was told no coffee because they were to busy? No line and half empty. The burgers were gross. Avoid this place like the plague!

Nice interior and a large selection of dishes at affordable prices.
Unfortunately I decided to order the $ 20 12oz steak and it was lacking any flavor whatsoever (aside from the burnt bits).

I must say I wasn’t expecting much from the exterior of the place, but I had only noticed it a few weeks back, so thought I’d stop in.
The service was friendly, I had a double bacon cheese burger, and could barely fit it in my yap to eat it. It was juicy and tasty. My mouth was happy I got that burger in, and after that meal I couldn’t have eaten another bite, nor could I even look at those tempting pastries on the other end of the service area.
The cook even asked me how the burger was, which impressed me that he obviously cared about his work.

Airport Gate is a small little diner/​café on Dixon and Carlingview. If I had to characterize it, I’d say it’s a poor man’s Zet’s Diner. The place itself is much nicer than it looks outside. They have fresh baked goods and focuses on Greek/​Diner food like Souvlaki Pita and easy Steaks.
I ordered the Pork Souvlaki on a Pita ($ 7.50) and added fries for $ 1.99. The Pork Souvlaki was OK. The pita that was used tasted like wheat, which I didn’t like so much. They use quite a bit of onions and garlic sauce, which is good, but tasted a bit off. The pork chunks were large but way too dry. I saw some dude munching on their wings and it looked so good that I will definitely have to make my way back just for those…
Though this place isn’t so bad, Zet’s Diner is so much better. Because of its proximity to my workplace and the fact that they aren’t as packed, I can see this being a popular lunch spot for many businesses around the area. Definitely good for a quick bite.
