| - Majority of the populous knows to usually go to the Keg for a good steak, but that its small and overpriced. What most of Toronto or the GTA don't know that the Tulip is the place to go for a steak. This little unassuming regular looking diner is where you can get a 24 oz porter house for I think its $32.95 .... versus the keg who charges roughly the same or more for a 12 oz for the same price or more.
Now that I got your attention, a few things to note firstly:
This is a diner in every sense of the word, the booths are comfortable and you can get a table for 8 comfortably (obviously you should make a reservation).
I recommend you come with your buddies that are meat eaters, but don't take your dates her cause like I said this is a diner in every sense of the word. But folks that want a cozy neighborhood feel with a diner in the sense like the one you'd see on Seinfeld that makes an amazing steak --- this is that joint. This is that hidden joint where I'd make the trek from Markham to downtown Toronto.
You don't have to order the behemoth of a 24 oz porter house, they definitely have more manageable sizes ranging from 8oz, 10oz, 12oz up to 20oz and 24oz --- I just feel I get my moneys worth and I make sure I don't bother eating lunch before coming here for dinner.
I've been going here for roughly 4-5 years I make the pilgrimage about twice a year minimum. I don't know who or if its more than one person who cooks the steaks, but they get my medium rare right EVERY TIME, every freaking time its perfect.
So perfect that I decided to move onto rare steak, cause medium rare just wasn't as juicy as I once found it. I told the waiter if I'm eating rare steak for the first time -- if I don't like it can you guys cook it till medium rare, no problem. You can even ask them to warm up your steak, cause sometimes I talk a bit much with friends trying to get through this behemoth.
You need to get the add on peppercorn sauce, its home made and a perfect companion to your steak, unless you're an HP guy then to each their own.
But you need to check if they have enough made cause so many people order steak here --- I've been saying the last 4 times I'm gonna try the burger here cause I hear its good... never happens gimme steak.
Sides I'd recommend the fries or my new favorite home fries (think of it like pan made hash browns vs fried hash browns) and get yourself a large plate of mushrooms to share amongst all of you.
They also have a tradition of giving you a plate of pre-buttered ... well pre-margarined bread, the bread tastes fresh and nothing special - but it has that fluffy old style kind bread like its homemade, never asked.
One other thing if you still have space in your bottomless pit you might want to share a slice of their strawberry cheesecake amongst your guests cause I assume everyones full.
I'm NOT a dessert person (unless it comes to chocolate cake thats my kryptonite) but this was so effin good. Guess what its homemade as well.
Its a good joint to eat lay back talk amongst your buddies and just chill out, they
serve beer here too.
I would give the steak 4 STARS OUT OF 5, but since most care about decor I'm giving this place a 3.5 stars out of 5
STEAKS AMAZING, GOTTA EAT HERE ONCE --- you know how it is some might agree others might not.
Oh one more thing you get big flat steaks here, not those thick 1 or 2 inch steaks that most restaurants use to disguise their small size. So if you like the charred outside thick steaks then this might not be your type of steak joint.
