Absolutely best experience at Donlands Dinner. Came back twice during our 5 day stay in Toronto and will be back again next time we visit. The food was amazing and the service and atmosphere were top notch. We would highly recommend this place!!!

We went there for our 46 anniversary dinner as my partner wanted the liver and onions (no pic), with mashed potatoes.

I had the banquet burger, fully loaded and it was great! cooked to perfection and very flavourful. I had the home fries because I'm not a fan of coated French fries. Our waitress was perfect and honest. Ask for Shie, as in Cheyenne.

A beautiful old decor and and convenient parking. Check it out.

Great little classic greasy spoon diner. The benedicts are great as they give you 3 eggs. Steak was actually well cooked (unusual for a brunch spot) and fairly tasty. The layout is a treat, with murals and homages to the great 50s and 60s and fairly roomy. Great atmosphere, easy orders and plenty of selection make for an overall solid spot.
