| - If I had to choose one diner in Toronto that I could call a regular hang out, it would be the George Street Diner. I remember going there back in the day when It was called the "Florida Tea Room."
Location has something to do with my love of this diner - it is located right across the street from my condo (I could see into the restaurant from my living room, so I knew when a booth is available and there is no line up at the door :). I don't think my renters take similar advantage of that view now!
All of their breakfast options are hearty - eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, omelettes, frittatas, etc. Most come with an option to have Irish Soda bread on the side. My only real knock against the menu is that they don't offer many low fat, low sugar, low sodium and high protein options. They do, however, offer fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juices.
The diner is consistently busy on Saturday and Sunday mornings/early afternoon and there can be a fairly long wait for a booth. Sitting at the lunch counter can be fun, if you are into that kinda thing. Oh, and if you are a Leafs fan, they filmed the "Stand Witness" video here :)
