A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13).

Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

Early bird breakfast is from $11-15 and available Monday to Friday from 8am - 10am Ambiance - I was the only customer on a weekday morning so it was quiet. Ample parking space in a large parking lot. It was dimly lit but I took a booth seat close to the main entrance so there was enough lighting. Service - the service was fair. I got seated quickly and was given the menu shortly after. I asked for water with no ice but I guess she misheard me. I was trying to say I haven't been to symposium before and wanted to ask for recommendations. She only heard the first part before I could finish my question. She told me all of the breakfast items are very good and left me to the menu. After she took my order, food came quickly and came to check on me a few times. Food - I got the early bird 3 egg omlette with green peppers and ham. You have up to 2 choices. Chose rye bread. It also came with a side of home fries. The food was good. It was seasoned adequately for my taste so no additional condiments were required.

The Jerk Chicken Mac N Cheese is a nice balance of sweet, spicy and salty with the cheese roux pairing well with tender chunks of chicken!

Tip: The roast beef is here for a limited time. It's delicious. Get it!…read more Years ago, I spent a lot of time in Aurora. Before Yelp was a thing in my world, I dined at this Swiss Chalet, which is in the same box store plaza as Best Buy, LCBO, and Dollarama. Last Saturday, I returned to this plaza. It has changed a lot over the decades. Gone was the Starbucks that I used to frequent. However, this Swiss Chalet endures and I'm glad. I decided to do takeout for dinner. I've never done takeout from this place. I like firsts. I ordered online to get Scene points and these items: - Roast beef dinner, with veggies, garlic green beans, chalet sauce, and a roll - Apple pie slice My pie slice of choice is lemon meringue. I saw that apple was new, so I changed things up. I got a notification that my order would be ready in fifteen minutes. It allowed me to get bubble tea from Gong Cha across from this restaurant. There was lots of parking in front of this eatery, including designated spots for curbside pickup. I ended up parking in a regular spot and walked in. The takeout spot is on the left. I noticed a man sitting down, waiting for his order. He looked comfy! I waited till a man came out of the kitchen. I said that I had a pickup order and rattled off my first name. He took my two items from an insulated bag and handed them to me. So great! I thanked the man and wished him a great day. He reciprocated. I headed to my car and placed my items in my own insulated bag. I then drove home to have dinner. My food remained hot. I loved the roast beef so much. It was tender and flavourful. The beef gravy was amazing with rich beef flavour. I wish that I got that as the side sauce than the chalet sauce for chicken. I ended up sopping up the gravy with the roll and dipping it into my chalet sauce. This dinner came with veggies that I enjoy. They were perfectly done. I also loved the garlic green beans, which is one of my favourite sides. It looked like staff threw them on top of everything as if it were a massive garnish. I will say that mixing everything together made everything taste even better. Who knew?! The apple pie was fabulous to cap off my meal. I got huge chunks of apple with the right amount of cinnamon flavour. I loved it. I don't think I've had a pie slice that I didn't like from Swiss Chalet. I had a great experience. I wish that the roast beef was on the menu all the time. It's yummy. I'm salivating. I want more. (215)
