Sometimes a nice, juicy burger is the perfect way to get your insides feeling warm and toasty. You don’t have to freeze trying to grill up a cheeseburger in the dead of winter, just visit one of these burger specialists, right here in Vaughan!

You may be trying to escape the cold, but when the craving is too strong, satisfy your desire with one of these spots in Vaughan!

Nothing will get you feeling full like a hearty slab of traditional lasagna. You’ll be saying ‘That’s Italian’ while indulging in layers of fresh pasta, ground beef, mozzarella and Parmigiano cheese, topped with their house-made tomato sauce. Or, try a little twist on the classic, with Enoteca Motorino’s lasagna al forno, made with veal Bolognese and bechamel.
