Queen St. Fare works best as a downtown food-hall plan with real menu range: Bar Robo coffee and breakfast, Mercadito tacos, Wicked Good Pizza, Sen Kitchen Vietnamese dishes, Mighty Greek plates, Green Rebel salads and smoothies, and Q Bar drinks under one roof. The strongest visit is flexible: pick a table, let each person order from a different vendor, and check the stage calendar when live music is part of the night.

Sidedoor is best treated as a shared-table ByWard Market order: tacos and bao first, sashimi or curry for contrast, then hand-rolled donuts or ice cream pops to finish.
