People's Food is awesome. It's really tiny, so it can be hard to get a place to sit on a weekend morning. And once you do, the food is nothing more than what you would expect from a typical greasy spoon - all day breakfast, burgers, sandwiches,…More »

I am quite committed to People's Foods as my local diner. Happily committed, I should add. And yet, sometimes temptation leads us astray. And so my wandering eye led me to the Avenue Diner.

It's got that classic diner look, which I always enjoy.…More »

 3. Vesta Lunch

474 Dupont St
Toronto, ON M5R 1W6
Canada

I have no idea how many stars to give to Vesta lunch. Were you actually to go there at lunchtime, in the full light of day, you would find it greasy, dirty, uncomfortable and disgusting. One star. And yet, at 3am with a belly full of liquor, Vesta…More »

I have been to Senior's Dining Nook, once, on the day of Michael Jackson's funeral. The room was vaguely cadaverous and smelled of leaky propane lines. I dined alone on a club sandwich.

The sole other patron - one of the eponymous Seniors - sat at…More »

 5. Mars Food

432 College St
Toronto, ON M5T 1T3
Canada
(416) 921-6332

At 3am on the night of Nuit Blanch, after walking a hundred miles in the bitter cold, surrounded by assholes, bullshit, and everything else that accompanies the Nuit Blanche experience, Mars Food was like paradise.

Food was standard diner food,…More »

 6. Fran's Restaurant

20 College St
Toronto, ON M5G 1K2
Canada
(416) 923-9867

Category: Diners

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  3/7/2011

Fran's is a very large diner that is open 24 hours a day. The food is greasy enough to be satisfying late at night, but OK enough to eat during the day time without being shocked. They are licensed. You can go here late at night and get bacon and…More »

 7. Flo's Diner

70 Yorkville Ave
Toronto, ON M5R 1B9
Canada
(416) 961-4333

Categories: Diners, Breakfast & Brunch, Burgers

Neighbourhood: Yorkville

2.0 star rating
  3/7/2011

The notable thing about Flo's is that it's a reminder of what Yorkville used to be like fifty years ago, before it became a luxury shopping neighbourhood. As much as Yorkville has changed around it, Flo's appears to be exactly the same as it would…More »

Kensington Market (8)

I used to think that Kensington Market was useless and full of rats. Now I know that, yes it is full of rats, but it is also pretty great. Here are some places:
