This USED to be one of my favourite spots in the city...but I think they've changed chefs or something, because the food isn't what it used to be. Still good for latenight snacks and milkshakes, but skip it for brunch.
This historic diner with 24 hour brunch,sandwich, burger,breakfast and more has a warm feel.

The Lakeview Restaurant is a piece of Toronto history. Open since the 1930s and the backdrop for some feature films, it closed in 2008, but not for long. When reopened, it dropped part of the original name but kept enough charm to woo back the original patrons. The black and white photographs on the website prove that it is not too modern, yet it chooses an IPod over the more classic Jukebox.... more
