I met my boyfriend on Queens Quay after work and headed up Bathurst towards King Street West. The Thompson Diner caught our eye. The lighting seemed cozy from the outside and we craved comfort food.
There was a parking lot across the street, which is refreshing for such a chaotic neighbourhood with tons of construction. This diner took us both away.
He had the West coast burger, which came on a wooden board with in a cute small fries basket on the side. The burger looked delicious with all the spinach, cheese, tomatoes, and more! It was such a large burger that he had to cut it up into bitesized pieces!
I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. I have to make a correction n that you get a massive veal-and-pork meatball on top of the spaghetti it was the perfect portion size. The dish was flavourful, with the right amount of cheese that complemented the fresh tomato sauce.
For dessert, we split the pecan pie. It was so buttery good. It is the best pecan pie that I have ever had. It came with vanilla bean ice cream.
The food is so good. I'd come back for the pecan pie alone! The setting is nice with booths everywhere. You can even sit at the bar and watch the game. I will definitely go back here. It made our date night even more memorable.
