Welcome to the cyber address of Shanghai Cowgirl (our real location is available along with a map below). Here you can take a little tour of Toronto's hippest Rock N' Roll diner. Unfortunately the technology to simulate the smell of bacon frying is still in development so we suggest you fry some yourself while surfing to enhance the experience, better ... more
Shanghai Cowgirl is a great restaurant for simple and delicious food. The grilled cheese sandwiches are especially great. Atmosphere and service are top-notch and the prices are reasonable.

Open daily; late-night Fri.-Sat. Entrees:... more
What do you get when you cross The Green Hornet’s Kato with Evel Knievel and Kung Fu fighting? A show on NBC’s new fall lineup? Not exactly, but you do get the inspiration behind Shanghai Cowgirl – a classic-style deco diner on Queen West’s ever-hip strip. Not only does its name evoke images of “bad” chick flicks like Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill, but its menu is as schizophrenic as Sybil; the... more
So its name may make it sound like a less than desirable place to eat, and the unassuming décor doesn't exactly scream out "come inside!" - but there is no place like it for comfort food in Toronto. Its famous spiced-up, triple-decker grilled cheese selection is just the start, as there is a whole section of the menu devoted to "Things Mom Used to Make." Staying open late on weekends and being... more
