Budget

Wok In is located in a tiny store front on Montreal St., just east of Princess St. It serves excellent quality, well-priced Thai and Cambodian food. It is run by a husband and wife and is usually busy. The #1 is a favorite on the menu and a good bet to try.

Famous King Restaurant, on Princess and Chatham street (505 Princess St.), provides Middle Eastern cuisine that is relatively cheap, filling and tasty.

Bubba's near the intersection of Princess St. and Division St. as well as a second location on King St. just west of Princess St. Bubba's is most famously known for its poutine's, and is most often busy when the downtown bars begin to close at around 2:00 AM.

Mekong, located on Princess Street near Division, serves excellent Vietnamese food. It is cheap and fast and is particularly known for its Avocado shakes.

Golden Viet Thai, located on Wellington Street between Princess and Queen has an excellent and CHEAP Thai menu. You can easily have a full meal for under 8$ and every entree comes with a free dessert of tapioca pudding. It's an Asian version though so be prepared!

Midrange

Lone Star Cafe on the waterfront downtown has decent Tex/Mex food.

Cambodiana on Brock St. right across from Hotel Dieu Hospital. Some of the best Thai/Cambodian food in Southern Ontario. The owner to this establishment had opened many Thai restaurants in Kingston including Phnom Phen and The Wok-In and subsequently sold them to others proprietors. This place well known by many locals. Seating is VERY limited.

White Mountain Homemade Ice Cream serves quality ice-cream that is a tad pricy, but truly is one of the best home made ice creams you will ever taste. The store provides a large variety of ice cream flavours that are served on store-made waffle cones. Ice cream scoop sizes tend to be smaller in peak tourist seasons.

Ristorante Luigina is located on King St., on the same block as Le Chien Noir. The dishes are masterfully prepared using high quality (and pricey) ingredients. An average dinner may cost around $29 (Rates: $5.95-$26.95 CAD) per person, although the bill can reach higher for a fancy dinner with wine. Service tends to be on the slow side.

Sol Latino is located at Princess and Barrie St. and has good Mexican/Latin American food. The tamales, however can be a bit on the dry side. (Recently Gone out of Business)

Wooden Heads and Atomica specialize in pizzas made in wood fire brick ovens. The focus of these restaurants are more on the waitresses and less on the food, though the latter is not too bad at either place. Wooden Heads Located on Ontario St., Atomica located on Brock St.

Panchancho near the intersection of Princess and King St. Good for a quick, and pricy bistro style lunch. Sells the best Italian and French style breads in Kingston. The sister store to Chez Piggy.
