Categories:

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Bloor-West Village, Swansea
I've been to a lot of greasy spoons, but when I walked in here this morning, around 9:30 with friends in tow, there was something different about the vibe. It was very comfortable and welcoming.
The waitress was very friendly, without being too…More »
2. The George Street Diner
We'd been driving by this place for years, so finally decided to check it out. We like old diners, greasy spoons and breakfast!
We both had the Canadian Breakfast, mine without bacon, my wife's with. It included 2 Omega-3 eggs, home fries, baked…More »
3. Avenue Diner
(3.5 stars)
Went for breakfast, 9:30 on a Tuesday, with 3 friends. Service was friendly and attentive, and we all enjoyed our assorted breakfasts. Fried eggs, and my veggie omelet were all good. Home fries slightly above average. Coffee was…More »

Forgot to rate this place when we ate here ages ago. I hadn't been here for 20 years, but it used to be a regular place when I lived in the area.
i like the true diner vibe of this place with an open kitchen and counter. I remember the food as being…More »
6. Aris Place
Toronto, ON M6R 2L6
(416) 533-0100
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhoods: High Park, Roncesvalles
9:40 on a Monday morning. Veggie omelet was just OK, whole wheat toast was that Wonder brown stuff, and the home fries were fried on a grill or in oil that was old or rancid. I didn't have any bacon, so I can't comment, but Daniel F. seems to know…More »
7. Patrician Grill
Maybe my expectations were too high...it's a greasy spoon after all.
This visit was for breakfast...9:30 on a Monday. Bad first impression...no decaf coffee, unless you count instant. The tea was lukewarm. The veggie omelette was decent, except…More »

Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
I pretty much agree with the 2 and 3 star reviews above. The only point I'll add is this - there are probably only 2 reasons to go to Mars at this location.
First, you've never been there before, and want to be able to say you have. The second is…More »
9. Dairy Freeze
This place was listed as one of the top 12 greasy spoons on blogTO's list. Really? Did the fine folks at blogTO just throw darts?
The food wasn't terrible, but there's plenty to exclude this place from such a list. Ordering at the counter is one…More »

Categories:
Diners,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
Yearning for the days that you could eat your breakfast with a side of tobacco smoke? Yearn no more. The proprietor (and/or some of his friends) stand on the sidewalk right outside the open doorway and smoke in between orders. Ooops, is that the…More »
