“A local diner style family restaurant in Scarborough! We’re from the area and did not know this place existed. If you’re looking for a good meal for breakfast, or lunch/brunch, check this place out! We came hungry after our workout :)

The place was clean and spacious and you could tell everyone from the servers to the customers were all pretty close knit and customers frequented the restaurant.

We got the Twist combo and another egg and sausage platter and both did not disappoint. They are known for their home fries which we can attest to—don’t skip on those!

Compared to other brunch spots, Sammy’s was fairly priced for what we got and our bill was just under $30! Can’t go wrong with that! We’ll be back again!“

“Every time I visit Toronto, one of my must-do stops is New York Fries. The poutine is top-tier: rich, flavorful, and always consistent. The fries are crispy, the gravy is savory and satisfying, and the cheese curds are delicious.

The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and fast—even during busy rushes.

New York Fries has become a bit of a tradition for me when I’m in Toronto. It’s comforting to know that some things never change—especially when they’re this delicious. Highly recommend to anyone craving real-deal poutine or just seriously great fries.“

“Nice friendly atmosphere for a great dinner or breakfast.“

“In Dec 2023 we had a party with around 10 people, everything was very good and we started to be regular customers.

In Oct 2025 we had a party with around 50 people and then we were sure that this was the right place to hold our events.

Lily, as well as her team, gives their best, the service, the food, the atmosphere, the decoration.

We thank this team for all the attention and affection with which we are always received.

“Food is utterly awesome. Servers so friendly. 👍“

“First time eating at this location and I can confidently say that this was the best experience I’ve ever had at a Swiss Chalet. It was a bit tricky to find the door (as the usual path from 700 University was locked for the weekend) but we eventually found it after walking a few steps down from University Ave, west side. As soon as you enter, the restaurant has a cozy feel but is still bright due to the ample windows. Everything was clean and in order. The food was absolutely delicious, everything was hot and fresh, especially the Chalet Sauce! Our server Remy was exceptionally kind, pleasant, and attentive to our requests - haven’t had such a great experience service-wise in a while! We really appreciated it and it made a difference in how much we enjoyed our meal. Thank you Swiss Chalet and thank you Remy! We’ll be back soon.“

“Went there for dinner over the weekend. It's a large restaurant and easy to get a table. The restaurant bills itself as a hot pot restaurant and that is what the four of us had. The hotpot ingredients were good. Not spectacular. In hindsight, a different soup base would have been better tasting. We had the kitchen stir fry the lobster for an extra cost and it was very well done, as was the clay pot rice dish that came with the set dinner. Also with the dinner was a plate of chicken wings and french fries which was very tasty with whole dried peppers in a Szechuan style stir fry style. All of us thought that the kitchen cooked food was very good and better than the hot pot. The exception may be the deep fried milk which was ok and was served too soon as we were still munching through our food. The raw eggs that several of us ordered too a bit long to arrive at the table. Other than that, the service was quite good. We all said that next time we go back, that we will only get the items from the kitchen as it was quite well done.“

“Sorry I can’t take all the photos because I was soo busy eating food. The food was flavorful, with the Thakali Khana and momos being highlights. The Samosa Chaat and Chicken Chilli were well-spiced, and the biryani was delicious. For dessert, the Gulab Jamun was too good, and the ice cream refreshing. Service was quick and friendly and everyone is so humble in there. Must visit place and taste like home❣️❣️“

“Perfect! Best breakfast ever.“

“Atmosphere and staff were great. Food was terrible and tasteless. Potatoes were ice cold, fish dried out and vegetables over cooked. Many years ago ( when it was licsyed near the front of the mall) my family & I use to eat there frequently and the food was delicious.“
