Flo's Diner

Flo’s Diner 70 Yorkville St. 416 961 4333

Flo’s Diner is on the second floor looking over busy Yorkville. There is a large outdoor patio. This is much appreciated in the summer when you can eat outdoors and not suffer from the street fumes. There was a long line on this Sunday morning but it moved very quickly. We were comfortably situated at a table for two. It was most impressive when the manager inquired if we would like to move to a quiet window seat as one had just become available. We were most impressed. The new server was equally impressive as he quoted our order to us. He had taken the trouble to check with the computer. All the servers were equally efficient and very friendly.

This is obviously the place to go on a Sunday morning. The menu is lengthy and we saw so many tempting items.

The Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich is offered with mozzarella and basil and served on whole grain bread.($8.50) The Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich is filled with tomato and mozzarella.($9.25)

Salad lovers also have a large selection. Flo’s Salad offers a bowl of turkey, ham, cheese, egg, tomato, cucumber, black olives and greens.($9:25) My favorite Nicoise Salad is prepared with tuna, green beans, potato, tomatoes and artichoke hearts.($10,50)

Egg dishes are available in every shape and form. Eggs Blackstone offers grilled tomato and bacon on a toasted English muffin. The eggs are placed on top and covered with Hollandaise Sauce. Fries are included.($5.75 for small or $10.00 for the large,)

Omelettes were tempting me. I thought about the Tuscany Omelette with sun dried tomatoes, basil, mushrooms and mozzarella.($9.75)

Scrambled Eggs with smoked salmon and onions is a favorite.($9.50)

Chicken Fingers were delivered to the next table. There was enough for at least 2 people. It looked so delicious.($9.50

My friend and I both opted for the Vegetarian Burger. It was placed on a pita bun. The burger was enormous and the tomato and dill pickle added so much flavor. Fantastic! ($8.00) We had the option of soup, salad or cole slaw. We had a perfect brunch and were satiated and happy as we set out for our film. If only the film was that pleasing.
