Flo's Diner

Flo’s Diner                     70 Yorkville Ave.                    416 961 4333

This authentic 50’s style diner has a lot to offer. On a hot evening we were delighted to dine on the outdoor patio. It is on the second floor overlooking busy Yorkville Ave. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers great comfort food. The prices are affordable and the place is family friendly. I have had brunch here on a weekend and it is very busy. They do close at 8:0pm so on this Friday evening it was quiet and peaceful. The service was superb.

It s the best Veggie Burger ($8.00) I have ever had. Two diners both felt like a burger on this evening. The soy patty was moist and flavorful. We had the choice of a pita bun or a sesame bun. A dill pickle, tomato and lettuce were on the bun. Of course mustard and ketchup were available. It was such a healthy portion and we loved every bite. We had a choice of coleslaw, salad or fries. The salads were crisp and tasty. Several additional items for the hamburgers are available at a reasonable price. We opted for a portion of Caramelized Onions.($1.50) I wanted to return the next day for another one. It was a cheap, delicious feast.

All Day Breakfast is available from 7:30 am until closing. Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Onion are always on the menu.($10.00) The menu is extensive and many egg dishes are available. My two favorite comfort food dishes of Macaroni and Cheese and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich were very tempting. I will choose those after taking a lengthy exercise class.

3 Egg Omelettes are a popular choice. There are many different fillings listed on the menu. Spinach, Mushroom and Cheddar Omelette tempts me.($10.50)

Caramelized Onion, Feta Cheese and Mushrooms also is worth another trip back to Flo’s.($11.00)

Salads are always tempting on a hot evening. Salad Nicoise is a favorite of mine. Grilled salmon is served with the traditional potato, tomatoes, black olives, artichoke hearts and green beans.($14.00)

Sandwiches are served with a choice of salad or fries. The Grilled Portobello is served with roasted tomato and mozzarella on foccacia bread.($10.00)

Grilled Salmon is served with potatoes and vegetables.($14.00)

We had such difficulty in making a choice because so many dishes sounded tempting.  Delicious food is served no matter what time of day.

It did bring back a lot of memories of the 50’s diners. What fun to step back in the past with the ambiance but have a today great food experience.
