Fast foods like burgers, smoked meat and things from the fryer are predictably well represented, but no longer is the term cheap eats synonymous with just junk food. New this year are an impressive bunch of fresh, health-conscious alternatives that are as nice to your wallet as they are on your waistline.

Here are the best cheap eats in Toronto for 2013.

Kupfert & Kim

This take-out lunch spot in First Canadian Place specializes in wheat-free and meat-free breakfast, lunch and dinner bowls. For $11 tax included the menu offers hearty meals with quinoa or rice packed with edamame, tofu, guacamole and other fresh fare. They have juices, coffee and gluten-free desserts too.

Greek & Co. on Queen

Reviving the genre of old school Greek diners, this quick-service rotisserie near Trinity Bellwoods marinates and then layers pork and chicken gyros from scratch (no mystery meat here) and cooks them on a rotating spit. Gyro or souvlaki pita wraps go for $6.25 to $8 and come loaded with chopped tomatoes, red onions, fries and tzatziki.
