The Christmas season has officially started with the annual Santa Claus Parade creating a day full of fun and cheer. Families and friends, elves and deer, all bundled up last Sunday to watch the amazing floats go by. It was amazing to see all the beautiful families spending the day with their loved ones to celebrate all together. One couldn’t help but have fun because there were so many things to see this year.

Our grande pumpkin spice latte dreams were crushed when we saw that the Starbucks on Yonge Street beside Pizza Pizza was closing earlier this year. But then we saw a new restaurant open in its place. Could healthy and fresh protein-rich salads replace gourmet and delicious muffins? That’s what we wanted to find out.

As soon as we walked into Mad Radish, we were impressed. The bright lights, cute succulents, and polished wooden tables contributed to an aesthetically pleasing and clean environment.

The employees were extremely welcoming and kind, greeting us with big smiles and quick to answer questions and make suggestions.

We got our food pretty fast, as the line was not nearly as long as Starbucks. Unfortunately, Mad Radish only accepts debit and credit, which is a little inconvenient for some. The restaurant started to get busier later into lunch. It is clearly popular in the Yonge and Eglinton area!

​What is Tea? “Tea is kind of like spreading the word, it's kinda like gossip but it's like factual gossip. It's a saying like sipping the tea or spilling the tea. Remember the Kermit the Frog memes?  It's a fun cultural reference.”
