Afternoon on the Danforth: Souv Like & La Diperie

We decided to go grab a bite to eat on the Danforth one weekend, happened to be on of the hottest days EVER.  And yes, I'm catching up on my blogging, so this is a late post.  Life happens right?

Souv Like
I read that Souvlike has great authentic Greek gyros, at a good price, means I must go since theres one, no good Greek places uptown, and two good price!!!  When I got there, I was kinda surprised, it was a tiny place right across from Pape station.  My friend who used to frequent that location, said she's never even noticed it before but its been there a while.  We ordered a pork gyro and a chicken gyro.  Finally a place that puts french fries in the gyros, just like in Greece!  The gyro meats were seasoned well, and huge portions stuffed into that fresh fluffy pita bread.  I could eat this stuff for days!  This is the kind of place I like, a hole in the wall that makes AMAZING food.  No need for fancy restaurants for me...... well most of the time at least.

La Diperie
It's the freaking hottest day of the year, or at least it seems so to me.  So what do we need?  Cold cold ice cream.  Noticed this Montreal chain (from some place on the internet, most likely BlogTO or Yelp or something), and figured no better day to try it.  La Diperie does dipped soft serve cones.  They have a large variety of flavours for you to choose from, from regular milk chocolate to lavender dip.  I played it safe and went with a milk chocolate dip.  I was feeling boring that day.  I'm not sure if it was because it was hot, but my cone just didn't look so good.  The chocolate seemed not to solidify/stick to the cone.  Worth the money?  Definitely not.  The cone was small, so not worth it portion wise, think $1 Ikea cone size.
