I saw this place after glancing around Google maps looking for an original breakfast place. This diner is fantastic. The service was brilliant, incredibly kind and happy staff. I loved that it was cooked in front of you. I went for steak and eggs, my partner went for the French toast with bacon. We had coffee to drink. It was a good medium steak, I did ask for the rarer side of medium, but it still tasted great. Lovely calm atmosphere that felt very intimate. It is cash only and we spent about 50 cad here. I think if you are from Europe this is a quintessential diner experience.

For all the decades I've been in this neighbourhood yesterday was the first time I made it to the Avenue Diner. In the past whenever I walked by it was always packed with customers or I didn't have the time to stop for something to eat. Vintage diner decor with the walls covered in celebrity photos, many of whom I am unfamiliar with. Service is quick and friendly and just after 1 o'clock on a Thursday there was lots of seating available. The tuna club was great and I also ordered an order of fries. Sanpellegrino s.p.a. drinks available. This gem is scheduled to close at the end of 2024 and I hope to revisit it before it's demolished for new condo development at the corner of Avenue Rd and Davenport. 25-30 pp. Cash only, ATM on site. Limited pay parking on surrounding streets available. Closed Mondays. Weekdays 11-3, Weekends 9:30-3.

As classic a diner as it gets. Food was very good. Cash only but there’s an ATM there. Beautiful artwork of the neighbourhood over the last 50ish years and a ton of signed headshots from assorted celebrities who have visited over the years. Approximately 10 Green P parking spaces right on Avenue Rd and no doubt others nearby.

I found this place randomly and it became in one of my very favourite for breakfast. I had the western omelette and my boyfriend the bacon and eggs y everything was spectacular and really cheap! And the surprise for both of us was the coffee, really good.
