Bronze – Bright Eye Brewing

A North Shore favourite, Bright Eye Brewing makes yet another one of our best of lists.

The brewery has become a staple in the area for its amazing pizzas and tasty craft beers.

But something else people love about this joint is that their food is reasonably priced. 

Some of their menu items under $20 include their Cup-A Noods, which features locally made ramen noodles, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Korean Fried Chicken Drums and their Kimchi and Pork Gyozas.

You can also try out one of their tasty ground brisket and short rib burgers for under $20, including their Bright Eye Burger which is topped with provolone, prosciutto, pickled red onion and their house aioli or the Throwback Burger which has American cheese, onions, pickles and their House Aioli.
