a month agoSmashing 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!

4 months agoI love a good local greasy spoon. Firstly, the space is tiny, just a few booths and counter seats. And it’s no frills - a straightforward menu of diner classics cooked behind the counter. But the staff are friendly and the food is tasty and that’s all that matters. The smoked meat sandwiches were fantastic. Watching the potatoes being cooked, we couldn’t help but order a side of home fries. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back when we’re in the area.

4 months agoOld style Diner and nothing greasy about this spoon. Ordered bacon & eggs and steak & eggs. Meaty bacon and a perfectly cooked, tender breakfast steak. Generous portions. The coffee is easy to take and the service is friendly. A few booths, one table for two and counter seating. One of those little gems with family tradition. Sorry it took me so long to find it.

2 months agoIt's fantastic to still see an old school diner in Downtown Toronto! I wasn't expecting to be in Toronto, but it turned out I had enough time to try this place. The coffee was great. The eggs, bacon and hash browns were perfect. Everyone working there was super friendly. Just great service. If you are ever in the Queen West - Spadina area, give this place a try.

2 months agoCool little spot just off Spadina and Queen - the kind of place you’d make a regular haunt. Breakfast and service were both good. I would say this is a “no frills” type of place. It’s dated, but in a charming way. A bit expensive as breakfasts go, but I enjoyed the experience.
