And another one… For the past week there have been plenty of rumours circulating regarding the fate of the Foundation, but yesterday . The Foundation Eatery will close their doors on February 26, 2017.
The Foundation has been serving up affordable vegetarian dishes for about 15 years. Their blaring hip-hop, artwork, casual atmosphere and nacho platters have made for a true neighbourhood staple, one that has maintained a devout clinetele through Mount Pleasant’s transition from shabby to chic.
Let's talk about those nachos for a second. They were cheap, the portions were huge and they had the proper technique of layering the cheese and the chips (this is key!). For a restaurant that has been consistently referred to as “hipster” over the years, these nachos were free of pretention. Delicious, simple, honest and affordable, everything you want from a neighbourhood restaurant.
Whether you loved it or hated it, it's always sad to see a local spot go. Goodbye bathrooms plastered with stickers, goodbye green paint. Goodbye Foundation, you will be missed.
The Foundation is located at 2301 Main St. Enjoy it until February 26th.
