If you live in Mississauga, or are just visiting, you’re probably always searching for somewhere new and unique to eat at – somewhere that has great food, a fun atmosphere and you can tell all your friends and family about. There’s the common favourites – sure – but what about those smaller, less well known places that will feel like you’ve just discovered the next best thing? Here’s a few great places to add to your eating adventures in Mississauga.

Mickey’s Pizza

This is technically a pizza joint but it’s definitely not like any other pizza place in the neighbourhood. With a focus on Chicago style deep-dish pizza this is definitely an experience everyone should enjoy. This restaurant is located at 1900 Lakeshore Rd W in Mississauga, and even though they focus on deep-dish style pizza they do offer other types of pizza and all are just as great. They have an option to dine in, if you like, or you can order take out and enjoy pizza from the comfort of your home.

Eddie’s Wok ‘N’ Roll

This restaurant is very unique in that its owner and chef, Eddie, has taken the amazing flavour of a perfect Chinese stir-fry and mixed it with delicious curry right from Thailand. The outcome of this merge will find you eating a combination of Indian style Hakka Chinese food and Thai cuisine. You’ll find this unique experience at 6400 Millcreek Drive, and it has both dine in and take out options to fit your schedule. Every weekday they have a lunch special: for $9.99 you get a soup, a main dish with rice and a spring roll. This little gem is definitely worth making a trip for just to try the fusion of these cuisines.

Peter’s on Eglinton

Feeling hungry? Well, look no further than Peter’s on Eglinton! This place mostly has pub and deli type foods but it does not disappoint. The atmosphere here is very family oriented, which only fits because it’s a completely family run restaurant. Their sandwiches are piled sky high with deli meat, and all their portions are huge. You’ll definitely want to bring the whole family with you – and maybe even your neighbours – to enjoy to this place. They are located at 1035 Eglinton Avenue East in Missisauga.

Avani Asian Indian Bistro

Most people come together over food – it’s a time for talking and sharing our days so this place is just the best for truly bringing people together. Like most Indian cuisine, their meals are meant for sharing amongst friends. Grab some friends, pick out a couple meat dishes and a couple vegetarian dishes to truly enjoy while you laugh and talk. This restaurant is located at 801 Matheson Blvd W and offers dine in or take out in case you want to spend time in your home with your friends and family.

Kravingz

Located at 1710 Lakeshore Rd W, Kravingz has some of the most unique options for brunch you’ll find in all of the GTA. From biscuits and Southern white gravy to corned beef hash and cheddar grits, this is one of the best places for to enjoy a weekend – or even weekday – brunch with friends. Since their focus is mostly on breakfast and brunch they aren’t open late, but it’s worth getting up early for!
