Mississauga Restaurants

This is a busy restaurant, specially at the lunch time. It is a brick construction from both outside and inside. Each brick inside has an etched name by visitors. We were told that the owners invited all the visitors to write their names on the bricks at the time of the opening of the restaurant. The buffet, laid out over a large area is great.

Favorite Dish: Soups, fish, clams, muscles, quiche, fruites and last but not the least - icecreams.

Why would you like to dine out at Jack Astor's? For excellent service and entertainment of course. Yes, if you want to enjoy good food with sports bar environment than this is the place to be.

Because of my poor writing skills on restaurant and cuisine, I am producing the following excerpt from Mississauga Community Guide 2007:

Cozy decor - burnished warmth of Mahogany and brass, deep rich colors and soft lamp lightening that calm your senses. Indulge in prompt, caring service and impeccably prepared food, whether you chose mouthwatering baby backribs, a tender steak or delicious fresh fish grilled ovr wood burning charcoal.

Favorite Dish: Try our picks:

Canyon Creek Dip
Coconut Shrimp
8 oz. prime rib mashed
14 oz. peppercorn
Canyon ribs, fries with gravy
Seared Halibut, mashed with gravy (Wow! this is mouth watering)

The prices below are for dinner, which is expensive than lunch.

Well it is double pleasure - seafood in Louisiana style. The service is not excellent, but the food is. There are 4 different types of seats. We would always like to get the ones in front of the big TV screens.

Favorite Dish: All of the following are delicious:

Coconut Shrimp
Calamari
Crab cakes
Blackened Catfish (this is our favourite, its is finger licking hot, spicy and tasty)
Jambalaya: This was extremely hot and spicy.

The 4 branches of Popeyes in Mississauga and Brampton are very popular because of Cajun spicy food that caters to the taste of all and sundry. The interior is decorated with Cajun art and quotes, because of which the restaurants appear very colorful and lively.

Popeyes are located at (1) Winston Churchill and Dundas in southwestern Mississauga, (2) Mississauga Heartland, (3) Hurontario Street south of Square One and (4) Hurontario and Steeles Avenue in Brampton.

Favorite Dish: Obviously Cajun chicken, biscuits, fries and butterfly shrimps.

The chain of Canadian family restaurants originally founded in 1954 in Toronto, Ontario, now has 190 restaurants in Canada and the United States. It is a division of Cara Operations, which also owns the hamburger chain Harvey's.

The name Swiss Chalet is taken from the design of its original restaurants, which featured exposed beam architecture, resembling a chalet one might find in the Swiss Alps.

(Excerpts from Wikipedia)

Favorite Dish: We like Swiss Chalet for its most famous item i.e. Quarter Chicken Dinner, featuring a leg (called dark meat) or breast piece (called white meat) of chicken with dipping sauce, a roll and a side dish of the customer's choice.

Swiss Chalet is best known for rotisserie chicken and mesquite-smoked barbequed ribs, which are traditionally served with sides of fresh-cut french fries, baked potatoes, salad, Caesar salad, Greek salad, coleslaw, rice, steamed vegetables, rotisserie vegetables, mashed potato, corn, or sauteed mushrooms (with garlic butter) and accompanied with Chalet Sauce, a tangy sauce that is somewhat similar to barbecue sauce, but without the smoke flavour.

(Excerpts from wikipedia)

You might think it silly to order chicken at a steakhouse, but this place makes the best fried chicken fingers you have ever tasted. They have a special recipe and a special dipping sauce that makes you want more. My wife got the Texas potato and soup and salad; a huge sour-creamed affair with a generous plate of greens and a bowl of vegetable soup. Add in the coffee and tip and it cost us about $20 for dinner: that is a good deal of food at a good deal less than I expected.

These restaurants are all over Canada and the U.S. They are heavy dark wood tables with big chairs and booths. The waiters and waitresses are all in teeshirts and jeans. The clientel are all in casual dress and there are plenty of families at dinner time. There is a bar section behind the belly-high wall separating the dinner area from the drinker area.

There wasn't any of the loud Texas music and the staff did not have a Texas accent and that made the experience all the better. The meals were served quickly and the waiter was friendly.

All in all, it was a good eating experience.

If you want to have a bit of the Irish stop in here for a great lunch.

A large choice of Irish foods, along with some Canadian in case you can't find what you are looking for.

Quaint little pub area and a large "elegant" looking dining area.
