What can I say? Every Canadian will know Tim Hortons. In case you don't, it's an awesome coffee shop and has many other meals and treats available. They pretty much have their stores on every corner.

This is one of my personal favorites. It is a Caribbean restaurant and serves up Caribbean and haka food. It's very cheap to dine in or take out. You can get a BIG meal for take out with drink for $6.
