Authentic diners have achieved dinosaur status in the city. Within the last few years, popular greasy spoons have been forced to close their doors with only a few surviving members, one of them is the Patrician Grill.
Opened since the late 60s, the Patrician Grill offers no frills in its decor and food. Quick and simple meals are found on the menu in the family-owned and run establishment. Sit at the counter to watch the cooks create your meal or retreat in one of the leather booths while sipping your morning coffee.
All day breakfasts are a popular order, as well as homemade burgers and their classic BLT sandwich, which is cheap and full of flavour. Local business people and college students from nearby George Brown flock here for no-nonsense comfort food. "Eat here, diet at home" is the motto at the Patrician Grill and is practiced daily by its loyal patrons.
