What can we say about Luna? Luna, the Spanish word for "moon", is an adorable yet hip cafe nestled in the happening Trinity-Bellwoods/Queen West neighbourhood. The cafe is low-key yet grand for people watching. It also appears to be the place to see and be seen if you are a production assistant in the Toronto film industry. We totally enjoyed the casual atmosphere and would even recommend the place mid-week for reading with an ice-coffee. Lots of organic, fair trade, and free-range food can be ordered here.
The food:
Karina ordered: A breakfast wrap with sun-dried tomato pesto, avocado, brie and dill (couldn't really taste the dill). $10.50 (?). The wrap was tightly and neatly put together, and it came with a mescalin salad, lightly dressed. Overall - yummy. But no new and exotic flavours.
Leora ordered: A breakfast wrap with shitaake mushrooms, smoked gruyere and red onion. This was truly delicious. How unusual to get shitaake mushrooms at a Toronto brunch. The mushrooms were sauteed lightly and complemented the gruyere. This could be ordered twice.
In summary, the portions were perfect - not too big, not too small - just right for a hot hot hot summer morning. The average meal cost between $8 and $10. Sadly, unlike on most of our escapades, neither of us ordered hashbrowns or coffee. We also found Luna's employees to be really friendly.
RATING: When rating our food, we take into consideration the taste of the food and the innovative nature of the dishes. If you would and could make it at home we're less impressed. The rating system is out of 5. We gave Luna 3.5 out of 5. While we loved the atmosphere and the quality of the ingredients, we felt they may have been lacking in the creativity department.
