The restaurant was comfortably laid out with a mix of booths and tables. Our waitress was attentive and efficient with our orders and came around frequently to top up our coffee and water. The value you get here is great since any restaurant you go to these days easily costs $20+ per person for a mediocre breakfast. That is not the case here as you get a hearty omelette with a side of home fries and 2 slices of toasts for under $15! We were all very happy with our choice and will come back to support this local business.

Didn't seem too interested in our 4 person party. Took prefers brought the items but didn't come back until are plates were empty. Never asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. The chicken was very nice with the almond crusting.

This diner has been here for ages in Toronto and is somewhat of a landmark…read more And For good reason. The decor is old but has that diner vibe. Their menu is extensive with all day breakfast and various diner meals. Your typical greasy spoon diner that really delivers I came on a weekday for lunch and they were very busy. Luckily I didn't have to wait to be seated. I ordered 1. Montreal corned beef Benedict 2. Mint tea The food was average. Nothing to write home about But It did come very fast though I think you come for more of the nostalgia It did live up to their reputation It is a recommendation from me to come visit And If I was in the area, I would return, maybe order something else that would be more satisfactory. All in all, this establishment is a well deserved success story with all your diner greasy spoon vibes, food and environment.

Dear Patron's I visited the Belsize pub on a quiet Tuesday…read moreafternoon this past Summer.. I sat at the bar and chatted with the kind chatty bartender. I can't remember her name, but she was full of information and fun facts. I come from the restaurant industry and love food and good service more than anything. Creating an experience for someone is very rewarding !! I am from Vancouver and have lived abroad for years. I am a fan of mind blowing burgers. I am normally let down when I order a burger in Canada --- Vancouver especially. Canadians struggle with cooking kickass burgers. I could go on and on about it , but I'll spare you the dramatics. I asked the lovely waitress about the burger and how I'd only order it if was cooked on the medium rare side. (How a burger should always be cooked ) She explained that there beef was sirloin ground And will have cooked medium rare for me!!! WHAT HAPPENED NEXT nearly knocked me off my stool!! Holy Sh*t !!!! This burger trumped any burger I've ever had and then some. Everything was perfect about it. The simple ingredients were placed with care and super fresh. The bun was toasted yet soft inside , the seasoning and love in the burger totally rocked. So everyone. Please try a burger or anything for that matter At the Belsize. I was one of my best meals of the year and a great way to experience Toronto!! Sincerely Cameron W

I got the 6oz steak salad with portabella mushroom and it was delicious. I really enjoyed it with the pickled onions, it paired well with the blue cheese.

This is a little hidden gem in Vaughn, the staff here are phenomenal! We requested to be seated…read moreoutside and the team even thought it was a pretty busy morning set up a new table for us upon request. I ordered the three eggs with toast and home fries, and this was just a simple and delicious meal, my eggs I like over easy, but the whites cooked all the way through the the yolks runny, which is what they did, the fries were crunchy and had an interesting flavour profile, I don't know what it reminds me of but it was a great blend of spices. The potato's were fried and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly what your craving for in your breakfast fries. I ordered the rye toast, this had a little more butter than I would have liked. I also liked that our meals came with ketchup without having to ask for it. I was a little disappointed in the orange juice, I thought it was going to be freshly but it wasn't. But dessert more than made up for it. We had a delightful cheese cake topped with strawberries, this was the perfect ending to our meal. The staff went above and beyond my expectations during the pandemic, our server was an older gentle man, he didn't use anything to write our orders down, but everything came to us as we ordered it, we were impressed with this man. The hostess was polite and the restaurant was decorated to have a 60's feel which came through with all of the unique pieces on the wall. This place is a definite top pick for me!

They're clear plastic but very cloudy looking. The menus have seen better days - definitely need new ones. I came with my husband and child, and split 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks. The waitress entered in the wrong protein choice for my meal and went to make the change, but my husband insisted in also eating & paying for the protein that was already made. This all came up to over $50! Very pricey for 2 breakfast meals... I couldn't eat the potatoes as they just tasted bland and overcooked. A ton of breakfast joints have popped up recently, and with the competition, Panagio's needs some upgrades to keep up. Staff were very friendly, and overall how can you go wrong with breakfast. It just wasn't anything special enough to make me want to come back over other places.

Their patio is like a little hidden gem but we elected to sit inside. The booths inside are huge. We ordered appetizers to share as it was late on a Sunday. We had the pork tacos, shrimp dumplings and the peanut chicken satay noodle salad. We did order the potatoe skins but they ran out of that item. The shrimp dumplings are yummy. The pork tacos was good but missing a flavour (recommended a slaw to help). The best dish is the peanut chicken satay noodle salad. Crunchy, peanuty and limey. All the flavours to make the salad fresh and tasty. Overall, a good eatery to try out. Just note parking is quite limited and the dishes are pricey.

To be fair- we were by for dinner on a weekend and this neighbourhood is known for being very quiet…read moreon the weekends so in terms of atmosphere- it was very quiet, vibe almost non existent- very comparable to dinning in a hotel restaurant. The interior is well decorated with banquet seating and chairs throughout. I imagine if it was busier it would be quite a happening spot. Service was attentive and food came out quickly (again it was not busy at all so would be shocked if it didn't). In terms of the menu- as a pescatarian who likes healthier options there wasn't lots items that stood out, in terms of protein items it would be limited to their salmon, poke bowl or shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, the salmon on beet salad was nothing memorable but also not bad at all. The truffle fries not the best either, the fried cauliflower was DELICIOUS but buttered, fried and drenched in a sweet sauce so definitely not healthy. My friends did love the tartar and commented on how well the steak was cooked. We finished with the chocolate cake and the carrot cake. The chocolate cake was super gooey- good but again nothing special. The carrot cake though was AMAZING. Would I come back? Probably not as there are better options out there but I'm glad I tried it!
