Porta Via Restaurant in Markham

Dont walk run. This is the best sandwich spot in Markham hands down. Very healthy. Salads are very fresh. Keep up the good work guys today you delivered at my company and everyone loved your meals 10 out of 10 Vegetarian options: great freshlly made

Fresh, healthy food! Highly recommend. Very good veggie options too

Great sandwiches

A solid choice for a healthier work lunch. Its a bit of a hidden gem as they are tucked away in a quiet plaza on Woodbine and have pretty narrow hours centred around the workday lunch hours. Youll find tasty paninis, wraps, bowls and soups. Everything is made fresh with wholesome ingredients. They also do catering and takeout. Friendly and quick service.

Without a doubt one of the best fast food restaurants in Canada. The food is fresh and well presented The staff is pleasant and very patient. I recommend

Great quality and taste, freshly prepared and filling Vegetarian options: Decent veggie and vegan options Food : 5/5 |

yummy and healthy food!

Nice little place passed it a 100 times my loss By far one of the best sandwiches Spicy steak Panini incredible the size of the side salad worth every penny thank you I will be back.!!!!!

Goodbye Freshii, here comes Porta Via! This is the perfect health conscious choice for lunch in the area and Ive been loving trying each menu item. So far Ive tried 90% of their paninis and each one has been a hitter. Theres a great selection of different grains (wraps, tarragon bread, gluten free and vegan options, etc) to choose from and you can select all your own ingredients or pick from their pre-set menu. The side item is either from their soup catalogue, or their stuffed salad. Literally, the container is bursting with greens if you go for the side salad! For $20, you get a very well balanced meal that is filling-and doesnt make you need to nap after. I always get to-go, but theres a nice seating area to enjoy as well. The only downside are their hours. They close after lunch time.

Amazing spot for a hearty meal! Im vegetarian and it was amazing, will definitely go back! So fresh and friendly, also complementary coffee! Vegetarian options: Has vegetarian and vegan options! Dietary restrictions: There are options and customization! Parking: Limited spots Kid-friendliness: Yes!

I stumbled upon this cool spot called Porta Via on Ubereats, and man, am I glad I did! If youre into healthy eats, this place is a total win. Their sandwiches and food are seriously fresh. Whats awesome is that every time I chow down here, I feel good afterward. You dont usually get that with non-home-cooked meals, you know? But heres the kicker! They need to be open longer, maybe even on weekends. I mean, Id be all over their grub 24/7 if I could. Its just that good. Anyway, despite the limited hours, Porta Via is my go-to for guilt-free, tasty eats. Seriously, once you try it, youll be hooked! Their Avocado Chicken Sandwich is my favourite!

I ve been going to Porta Via for years. Love their sandwiches and soups

Absolutely delicious and fresh. Our favourite sandwiches and wraps in the city

We highly recommend Porta Via for its good selection of healthy and tasty food options. We recommend this restaurants to our Markham area clients because the food is very good.

The food is fresh and always delicious. Portion sizes are excellent and theres so much selection (lots of menu items plus many ingredients to choose from for custom items). Staff are so kind and welcoming.

I go to two office locations in a day for work and this is right in between so its perfect as there arent many healthy, quality options around. I got the Tuscan Panini wrap with sweet potato and peppers soup, and it was delicious. I didnt see the menu beforehand and was pressed for time so I just asked the employee what was good and he was great in giving suggestions and understanding what I wanted. Lovely people, excellent options and amazing quality food!

Love this place! Delicious and lots of varieties to choose from!

Great FRESH food and friendly service !!

Really good food

Mind blowing sandwiches and salads. So fresh and tasty. You won t get anything like this anywhere else.

One of the best sandwich shop in the area. Keep in mind they dont open in the afternoon.

Amazing place for lunch, the meal quality and food quantity are awesome for the price, definitely a huge deal. The service is very quick and the staff answers any questions Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian paninis and the salads are vegetarian by default

This place is just awesome - tasteful sandwiches with good bread, good ingredients and a great soup!

I really appreciated how dedicated the male server was to us (the one who makes the sandwiches) because he had an eye for detail, was patient with us and gave us many bread options to choose from! Being indecisive myself, I really admire his unwavering support for such an anxious customer. He understood I was a first-time customer and just said I wanted the two sandwiches that I saw outside the door on the poster. It looked appetizing even though I dont know the name of the sandwiches or dont know how to properly order like his regular customers. He still understood what I meant and he gladly made it for me. When I wanted it on a specific bread just by the looks, he said there were more to choose from and showed me visually since I couldnt just rely on auditory descriptions. The pita-looking bread looked the best and had two other flavours to choose from so I went with those two! One for the steak sandwich and one for the chicken sandwich. He also said it comes with either soup or salad and I said Id take one of each for each order. Then, he promptly gestured to the next menu card in front of me saying to choose which soup of the day I would like to go with my order. I picked the tomato and sweet potato puree soup! Very nice! After that, the cashier that works closely alongside with him said the coffee is complimentary with the order, though I didnt get myself one because it was already such a fulfilling order with so much generously portioned food! It was warm, fluffy and so fresh! The fact that this restaurant chain has been open since 2004 and I just discovered it now is my only regret! Id definitely pick this place as my go-to brunch place for next time and recommend it to all my friends! :D Though it was on the pricey side, it was worth every penny! I can see why its on the pricey side too so it makes sense! Love it!! The atmosphere was another point deducted just because I thought it was too loud to my liking just because I have autism, but otherwise, its great! Thank you for your service and hospitality! You spent majority of the time helping me complete my order, I felt bad holding up the line!

Great sandwich shop

If you want fresh, great tasting food, this is the restaurant. My favourite sandwich is a Tuscon sandwich and tomato soup. They also provide free coffee.

Y all got to try this place the food is AMAZING!!!

Been meaning to try this store for the longest time however since they are only open on the weekdays it s a little difficult to find time. However this is definitely love at first taste. The whole foods and the freshness of each bite really made the trip worth it.

Great panini, love the tomato soup

Delicious healthy fresh food and very filling.

Great price for good healthy quick food

Fresh food and friendly staff. Well run establishment. No disapppontments.

Food is of good quality and big thumbs up for the staff who are very kind

One of the best restaurant for a quick bite and corporate lunches. This specific location is very good, clean and super friendly. Their choice of bread are good and the vegetables, sauces spreads are all fresh.

love the sirloin steak sandwich

Great for freshly made, salad bowls, sandwiches or wraps.

Fantastic, fresh sandwiches and wraps!

After eating in the area for over several years. This restaurant has one of the best lunch options in the corner of woodbine and 7. From fresh soups to fresh salads this place has all the great healthy options made right in front of you and for a reasonable price. Ive never been disappointed having lunch here. I think this place gets better over the years. Great place to go.

Love this place, chicken avocado wrap and soups are amazing

Great family run sandwich place with delicious sandwiches and friendly staff

Staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Prices are reasonable, portions are huge and ingredients are clean and fresh. Its very apparent that the owners care about the quality of food and the satisfaction of their customers. Would definitely recommend!

My second time trying their food here and I absolutely love it. The sandwiches are flavourful and very filling, and they also come with a side soup or salad option (both of which are delicious aswell). The owners/workers are very welcoming and friendly and even offered us complimentary coffee. I dont live in the area, but this is definitely a place Id come back to time and time again :)

We ordered delivery from here for lunch one day while working from home. The food came packed nicely so that the paninis were still hot and not soggy at all. We also got a lemon chicken bowl and an avocado bowl - they were huge. The bowl actually lasted my mom a few meals. They were really generous with good ingredients like brussel sprouts too. My favourite is the smoked salmon panini with avocado spread, brie cheese and zucchini. Its a different combination that works, and its super filling! Will definitely order from here again.

A little pricey but really delicious. Will return

Im glad sandwich shops like this have lasted through the pandemic. Great selection of deletable sandwiches and delicious soups! Seared Tuna Sandwich hits all the right notes.

So delicious. Amazing Gluten Free options for lunch at work or on the go. I will be back!

All their soups are amazing!

Very delicious sandwiches. Their soups are good. All in all food quality is very good.

Tight.

Great sandwiches.

Absolutely delicious!

Fresh food! Healthy, and filling. Great experience. Highly recommend!

Ive been a customer since 2012....mississauga location and now woodbine location

Fresh and delicious. Great lunch spot. Steak sandwich is amazing.

Best sandwiches around, as fresh as it can get, 10/10 would highly recommend

after trying over 10 of their sandwiches, its hard to critique, they are all so flavourful. soups hit the spot, complementary coffee seals the deal.

What a great lunch spot. Been going since the original owners and the new variety of eats is even better! They need more locations, all fresh made daily everything at very reasonable prices!

Great choice if you are craving a healthy-ish lunch. The striploin with roasted peppers sandwich is my go-to. I ve tried quite a few of the others, even vegetarian, and I ve never been disappointed. For those who work in the area, it is super easy to order in advance and pick up.

Excellent food and fast service

Love this place for big healthy salads. They have sandwiches and soups as well but nothing it s hard to find a place that does a big salad right, Porta Via is one of those places.

Limited menu and no mods allowed Makes no sense Cant sub your wrap for a panini bun, not even by paying extra Cant sub the protein for the sandwiches and wraps Especially for vegetarians the options are narrow

Do not go with ceasar lettuce as your base. Lettuce is stored pre-sliced for days in a single-portion plastic container. Everything is pre-cooked and stored refrigerated. All grilled items (zucchini, roasted garlic, roasted pepper, roasted brussel sprouts, etc) and your meat choice are all served to you fridge-cold. Honestly, a pre-packaged salad container from a grocery store is likely fresher than what I got, costs less, and actually tastes better. btw, the fork on the photo is a single-use plastic utensil.

My go to lunch spot. In markham.

Excellent. Great sandwiches, soups and salads, reasonable prices, good service, immaculately clean. Wish there were more branches around.

You can always expect a fresh, delicious, and healthy meal here from their friendly staff. Only problem is theres only one of these restaurants. Thank you !

Porta Via makes pretty fancy wraps and sandwiches, soups and salads from scratch in an upscale fast food setting. Ive never been disappointed. Obviously ideal for a quick lunch. So prepared to pay a premium for the quality, though!

Great sandwiches and amazing tomato soup!

Best place to get a healthy lunch thats fully customizable and has great options for any diet including vegetarian and vegan. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. Love this lunch spot.

Always friendly service, the ingredients are always fresh and albit a bit pricey to some for salad, I think the freshness and the portion more than makes up for it! Their variations of dressing is also incredible!!

The food is amazing here so is the staff. Sebastian and his family are great people. Everything is made at their location from scratch with premium ingredients. We ordered 2 panning platters for our customers (10 people) and everyone loved the food. Definitely recommend this place.

Unbelievable fresh food. Chicken Avocado wrap is my personal favorite. You can choose, soup or salad both solid options. Support small businesses and this one is great!!

Delicious, fresh, healthy food at an amazing price! I highly recommend this place. Wait times arent long at all, even when they are busy. I love how their wraps are so big and come with quite a sizeable mixed salad (or soup). Really good customer service. Clean, positive atmosphere. I recommend the chicken avocado wrap!

Great menu, polite & helpful service, worth every penny. You can tell the employees value their craft. Highly recommend

Amazing Food! Quality & Quantity ...

Great food! With complimentary coffee!

Great lunch spot for a healthy and tasty meal. Friendly service and free coffee!

Awesome food, great service!

Great place for fancy sandwiches and salad

Love the sandwiches soup here

Great healthy sandwiches, and the staff are always trying to make you feel welcome and your experience great.

Delicious, healthy, handmade to order, gourmet sandwiches. Staff are friendly, and prices are amazing for what you get.

My first time here, everything was very high quality and tasted very good. I highly recommend.

Healthy choice for lunch/dinner if you are on a low carb diet.

Excellent Lunch Place.. Great Sandwiches!

Fast service, fresh ingredients and good food!

Awesome service as usual. When you dont even have to say what you want as they can pull it from memory, it always makes you feel special. Food was great as ever.

Good as a local restaurant for worl lunch time.

Great place if you want a healthy option for lunch. Prices are okay but the portions are very good for the price. Lots of variety and choice if you want salads and sandwiches. The ingredients are fresh and the service is quick.

Awesome sandwiches

Fresh, nutritious, consistently so for the past seven years.

Awesome fresh sandwiches and salads.

Great place for a quick lunch - good fresh food

Don t be discouraged by the line, it moves fast. Plan for take away as seating is limited.

Amazing food. Best sandwiches and salads I have ever tasted. Everything is fresh & natural.

Delicious food, very reasonably priced for the amazing quality food served. Great place to grab lunch and dine-in or take-out! Highly recommended!

amazing sandwiches! I only wish they were open on weekends so I could share with family and friends. 100% recommend!

My go to spot for a fresh sandwich or salad for work lunch. Good variety to choose from and made fresh on the spot. Healthy! Staff are very friendly.

Reasonably priced and good food. The soup served was awesome!

Amazing food if you want something away from fast food but not too fancy, very affordable. Gets really busy at lunch. Super mix salad is great.

Food is clean and the servers are polite.

Soup and sandwich spot with a bit of a unique take

This is a great option to eat healthy food that is tasty, great portion size and the coffee is the best tasting coffee out there and it is free! Dont be bothered by the line up as they serve up patrons fast and with a smile!

Fresh well prepared food at a reasonable price.

The only salad place I have ever found that is not sad and boring or has a few options to choose from. This place is like a salad heaven! Its little pricey but the portions are huge. And you have a big variety to choose from. You choose your greens, your protein, you nuts, your sauces, and a big range of spicy condiments that I like to choose from.

The food here is amazing, very tasty and healthy

Great place for a healthy lunch! Tasty soup and sandwiches. Pricey though for what you get

Delicious sandwhiches and salads.

Amazing salads. I get the kale salad with 7 toppings. $12 something total. Its the best meal of my day. I eat here 4 times or so a week. Owners are very particular about cleanliness, good service, and fair portions. I recommend everybody to eat here. Totally worth every dime for the quality of food and the portion you receive.

Delicious food good portions and healthy!

amazing food

Great food and nice people.

I frequently order them for catering at my office, but also go and grab lunch there on occasion. The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly!

Decent and healthy food in general, but really bland dressings, and pretty overpriced.

Great sandwiches. But really pricey.

Excellent Soup & Sandwich!! Its like Panera.

Awesome - easy to order, delivery came right on time. Food was hot and delicious. Was a hit at our meeting

Amazing veriety and extremely

Great food, reasonable prices, but not the friendliest staff...

For lunch today, I ordered the Spicy Sirloin & Salsa Verde Panini. You receive your choice of salad or soup. I chose to have a salad. I was surprised I could only eat half of my sandwich. Definitely value for the money. The beef was very tender, not chewy. The salad was very fresh and had a light dressing. The cashier also offered me a complimentary coffee. Not sure if that is for everyone all the time? Or a one time thing since this is my first visit? Either way, the gesture was nice.

Amazing food very healthy less expensive alternative to whole foods

Amazing place. Very friendly staff, healthy food that makes you feel satisfied

Calling this fast food wouldnt be fair - its excellent food served quickly. The tuna carpaccio is really good

My first time being here and I am completely impressed! This is the best, healthiest place Ive ever been to. Right when you walk in the place looks clean and fresh, the staff was more than happy to explain the menu to us. We ordered the grilled veggie and the avocado chicken wraps with a side of their vegan roasted tomato and sweet potato soup. The food is wholesome, flavourful, and I left feeling energetic and fully satisfied. Amazing location to visit for lunch!

I absolutely love their sandwiches and wraps. Porta Via has some delicious healthy options you can pair with salad or soup. Great pitstop for lunch.

Great lunch spot. They have a good selection of gourmet sandwiches with fresh ingredients and real meat, I was very surprised with it. Their sandwich also comes with soup and coffee. I also found the staff very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice and clean. Id definitely go back.

I ve gone here for lunch many times over the last couple of years and the food and service has always been consistently great! Highly recommend.

Always fresh ingredients and seasonal soup. They have options to make customizable salads, wraps, and paninis. The servers have always been patient and helpful.

I used to work in the neighborhood and came here quite often.. even though there are many lunch establishments available in the area This place proves that healthy eating can taste amazing! Simple menu, fresh ingredients, great variety and focus on customer service kept me returning for some great meals. Plus - they focus on people with dietary requirements. Something thats lacking in many restaurants today... Granted the meal could get a little costly i.e. (the $10 mark) for a sandwich with soup/salad, I found it way more worthwhile than visiting a typical cookie cutter, run of the mill, Subway franchise. Totally encourage you to visit.... They do have odd store hours though so check first.

This place has some of the tastiest food around. Have it your way or pick from a great assortment of sandwiches and salads.

Great spot for lunch.

A good selection of high quality sandwiches and wraps. The sandwich and salad combo makes a great lunch. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

Great food. Everything on the menu is good. Pricing is very reasonable.

Great lunch option for those with a hankering for salads, good sandwiches and bowls. Staff are very friendly and will provide recommendations if you ask

Great flavour, quality and service. As a vegan I certainly appreciate all of the options at this restaurant. All dressings are made in house and staff are knowledgeable of ingredients. Bread options are ace bakery which also offer vegan options. They have meat and dairy options also; healthy options for many diets. The tomato soup is also one of the best Ive had that isnt homemade. They do have nuts in their selection though so not advisable for anyone with a nut allergy.

Fantastic healthy food

Very clean location and the staff are amazing. They were very helpful with my orders and service was fast. Their website is easy to navigate and makes ordering ahead of time a breeze. Food is delicious! The variety of salads and sandwiches makes Porta Via great for business meetings.

Healthy alternative to Quiznos or subway. A little bit more expensive but the food is great.

Really good fresh food

Healthy options, and quick service. Oh, and free coffee with lunch!

Super fresh good sandwiches.

Very clean and healthy. Great place for lunch

Excellent Lunch Menu.

I love Porta Via, everything is awesome!!!

Friendly staff with healthy choices for soups, salads and sandwiches. Big fan of the steak sandwiches

Fast service, wide selection of menu options, yum!

Great sandwiches. Lunch is a little on the pricey side, but it is great food.

Great healthy salad options and soups.
