Whether your palate craves Italian or French cuisine, traditional crepes or a lunchtime omelette, these restaurants will make your busy lunch hour a gastronomic treat. Yorkville has everything from collard leaf wraps to gourmet burgers and fine Indian food.
Maybe the name gives it away but with only five tables, your best bet is takeout. Serving authentic crepes, not just really thin pancakes, their TomTom crepe makes a filling lunch. These are sweet or savoury in true Parisian-style. Your latte will not need sugar so don’t ask, or you may provoke a yowl of pain from the staff.
These wraps and salads make a good argument for eating strictly vegetarian. You could easily go vegan at this salad-centric restaurant with its broad assortment of meatless stuffed flatbreads and veggie lunches. Get your loaded cobb salad in a tidy wrap to go, perfect for someone on the run.
Welcome to simple dishes of eloquence. This is basic pub food served fast or to go and with enough meat to fill any concrete jungle hunter. Their penchant is for brunch and lunch and fine spirits if you are in the mood to stay and enjoy. Classic sandwiches, gourmet burgers and the occasional sentence fragment will have you coming back often.
“Utsav” means festival in Sanskrit, so enjoy the lunchtime festival in your mouth before you rush back to work. The traditional Indian food is a solid bet for vegetarian diets and they can accommodate gluten-free and vegan diets with their meatless rice dishes like Aloo gobi and Bhindi bhaji. They do take out and delivery starting at 11:30 a. m. Ask about the daily lunch special.
