    This place can get pretty busy, but we went at a good time and got seated right away. It is very small, but that's to be expected of a classic "hole in the wall" diner. I love this kind of place. I believe the sign said Since 1959. Classic. Original. At the counter, the grill is so close that you could help make your own breakfast. She had a classic breakfast (scramble and bacon). I had a BLT. Excellent. We normally like our bacon a bit more crispy, but with it being so busy, we didn't want to bother them with any special requests. The food was excellent and well priced. ($32, included tip). We will definitely visit this place again.

    In Toronto just for the day so had to try a peameal bacon sandwich, poutine, and Montreal smoked meat. This little place had it all, and I loved it! My friend had the chicken salad sandwich and said it might have been the best she ever had. I definitely recommend if you can get in - is not a big place.

    Fantastic food. The staff was hilarious. They gave my daughter a free drink for her birthday. Such a gem in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the city.

    BRUH this is the best little breakfast spot in the city as far as I’m concerned. Loved the prices, loved the banter from the employees and customers, loved the speed that everything came out at, loved that you could see them make it, and especially loved the food in general. You can taste the experience, and the love. They’re doing something so right here, and I loved the feeling of being at home! We will be back!

    Smashing IT! So glad to have found an authentic diner in Toronto. Avenue Open Kitchen is basically the last of it's kind. Great atmosphere. Great diner vibes and banter. I ordered the Chicken Club with Fries and the Fries reminded me back in the day when diner's where popular in Toronto. The Chicken was seasoned and tender. It almost had a tab bit of a Greek twist to it which I love! The Coffee is spectacular! Nestled in a real cozy side street off of Spadina and Brant Street. If you're look for some great food at some great prices then look no further than Avenue Open Kitchen! The Diner will remind you of home!
