we're travelling to TO this weekend and will be at the Ontarion Science Centre. Any recommendations of cheap places to eat there? preferably in walking distance?

we like chinese food (like congee, etc) but open to anything.

Not close, but not far from the Science Centre
Science Centre is at Don Mills and Eglinton... Congee Queen is at Lawrence and Don Mills, one major intersection north.

Food is inexpensive and delicious.
My recommendation is the spice and pepper salt squid (it's fried) but very tasty. The seafood and chicken fried rice fukien style is one of my fav's as well; and of course they have their congee!

There is also a new mall that just recently opened at that intersection called Shops at Don Mills

There is a Jack Astors and other restaurants there.

Enjoy your stay!

within walking distance... there's only the plaza across the street which had mulan (chinese fast food resturant), a deli shop where you can buy a sandwhich, mc donalds.

One block north of Eglington along Don Mills just past the train tracks you'll find Congee Star, Swiss Chalet, Mongolian Grill, and Memories of Japan. I like Memories of Japan. It's a teppanyaki place and you can get steak, chicken and shrimp for $10 at lunch.

Congee Star is a ten minute walk north of the Science Centre, 900 Don Mills on the west side of the street.
