    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.

    Just real delicious food made as you watch. 1000 points for keeping the place clean and orderly and the AC perfect when it's that tiny and busy!! I sat next to the open kitchen and just expected to die of heat but it was perfect!

    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!

    The Montreal steak is delicious, and you see how everything is made! The portions are generous, and the price is fair. However, the space is pretty crammed, and the service is professional but not particularly hospitable. Perhaps a second visit could improve my rating.

    Old 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.
