Pasquaino's with out a doubt, best place to eat in town. I seriously don't get Marquee, the strip mall location is awful, and is not always consistent. If a Keg came to town it would probably die on its feet.
I still find myself driving to Mississauga or Toronto for special occasions. Best bar by far is Eddieo's. Food is quite good but has a limited menu, but lots of atmosphere and great drinks.
Milton will never really thrive, people are stretched in terms of disposable income, also we have one of the largest growing Muslim communities in North America, that demo and licensed establishments is a death nell for most mainstream type restaurants. This is not a group that typically eats out a lot, add in he no alcohol thing and it makes our restaurant future quite bleak
^^This. I agree with you. Most newcomers to Milton are over their heads in mortgage payments and can't afford the luxury or added expense of eating out. I believe this is also the main reason why so many of our downtown establishments have either closed down or declared bankruptcy. People in this town just wont spend any money on extras. Hence, why Milton has so many fast food joints that provide cheap food.
Do you like eating shawarmas? If not, better get used to it because those joints are springing up all over town. Also, with the changing demographics, Milton will soon become a food lover's paradise for East Indian cousine on par with sister city of Brampton. Oh what joy, what bliss!
In the meantime, you can have a very good meal either at Pasqualino's, La Toscana, or Eddieo's. They are the only 3 decent restaurants in town.
