if you are visiting downtown Brampton and looking for somewhere to grab a bite of lunch, there is no shortage of options for every budget and taste.

The Downtown Brampton BIA and local businesses present The Taste of Brampton, an annual culinary event which runs this year from Oct. 15 to 29. But until then, here’s a few choices of what’s available.

Fanzorelli’s Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar

Fanzorelli’s is a longtime popular destination for lunch, with plenty of menu options including: appetizers such as focaccia bread and PEI mussels; chicken, prosciutto and vegetable sandwiches; a variety of pasta dishes, pizzas and entrées featuring salmon, chicken and veal Parmesan.

With lunch time restrictions, Fanzorelli’s also has a preorder service, by calling 905-450-9752 for either dine-in or to-go.

Tracks Brew Pub

Tracks Brew Pub is located in a historic building that was once home to Brampton’s Knitting Mill. The building, constructed in 1910, is located a little off the beaten path, although within walking distance of the Rose Theatre, and sits below Brampton’s railway tracks (thus the name). Tracks offers the usual pub fare: Buffalo chicken wings, garlic bread, fajitas and burgers. However, one of the biggest attractions is their homebrew, which can be enjoyed on an outside patio. Although some say the Tracks Brew Pub building is haunted, at least the bill for lunch isn’t scary.
