Thought I'd throw in a positive review on a new-ish restaurant in Beltline/Lower Mount Royal. It's called "Universe" and has been open a while now, maybe a year? It's across from the McDonald's on 17th Ave near 14 St. SW. It's run by a Greek family from Montreal and serves a wide variety of food - a huge breakfast menu, plus a lunch/supper menu that runs from salads/sandwiches (they do their own smoked meat) to pasta/pizza/steaks/chicken. The portion sizes are enormous and prices are decent. Decor is pretty much non-existent, seems a bit sterile, but it's also a small place so too much decor would clutter it up too much. We've been twice now and apart from some slow service (I think they got slammed by tons of people all coming in at the same time), it's been quite good.
