Iq Foods

What is Iq Foods? Situated along the bustling Upper Avenue commercial strip at 1560 Avenue Road, iQ Foods (iQ Food Co.) brings a sleek, Scandinavian-minimalist aesthetic to Midtown’s fast-casual dining landscape. Founded by Alan Bekerman and built on a foundation of scratch cooking and regional farm sourcing, the bright outpost pairs clean white oak millwork and abundant natural light with an open prep kitchen. Seating is fast-casual and streamlined, catering both to swift counter takeout and casual dine-in guests at counter stools and small tables.

Iq Foods Menu & What to Order Built around nutrient-dense, plant-forward cooking, the kitchen prepares composed grain bowls, fresh wraps, and superfood smoothies using whole-food ingredients. Crowd favourites include the Lima box—loaded with grilled chicken, avocado, aged cheddar, and house chili-lime dressing—alongside the Salmon Poke Bowl crafted with sashimi-grade fish and fermented kimchi. Plant-based and gluten-free eaters gravitate toward the spiced Sparta bowl or the Mexican Caesar salad, while the Almond Brothers smoothie and warm sourdough chocolate chip cookies round out midday orders.

Know Before You Go As a fast-casual counter-service operation, seating is walk-in only with no table reservations. Weekday lunch and early dinner hours draw a steady stream of local residents and gym-goers, but lines move efficiently through the digital order kiosks and mobile app pickups. Paid street parking is available along Avenue Road, and the location is easily reached via the 61 Avenue Rd bus from Eglinton or Lawrence stations.
