This is a gem of a spot! We came here for lunch. When we arrived there was a few minutes wait as it's a small restaurant. There is outdoor seating but the skies were threatening rain. Everything on the menu was appealing so we decided to try a few things to share. Oh my goodness was it delicious! Quality, fresh ingredients with generous portions. We tried the sweet potato salad, pimento cheese with sourdough toast pickles, farm salad buttermilk biscuits with jam. Our eyes were bigger than our stomach so we brought the rest home. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Do yourself a favour and eat here. Doesn't hurt that it's now been added to the Michelin Guide for Toronto!

Outstanding fresh food with bold flavour combinations. The OG patty melt was delicious. My companions ordered the chicken and dumplings and smoked turkey and loved it as well. One waitress very efficiently handled all the tables and patio. Impressive

I have not been east of the Don in many years but had the chance to use GOOGLE REVIEWS to see which restaurants along Queen East had some great ones....and I can understand why T HE WHITE LILY was one of the highest. A great little shopfront in the gentrifying area which serves up some beautiful food with terrific HOMEMADE cooking and flavours. Warmly greeted by the ebullient HAYLEY who recommended the delicious (and FILLING!! STEAK AND EGGS on hash browns($28 and some tangy chutney made in-house. The steak was a gorgeous 8 oz. and cooked perfectly to my request as were the eggs. I was too late for the cruller donuts but did manage to get a cinnamon. A bit on the high side for pricing but the quality of the food from the kitchen makes it worthwhile.

Amazing food as always. Love every item on their menu but prepare to wait as they don’t take reservations, only walk ins.

We did a takeout lunch today, but could also have eaten on their lovely front patio. The extensive menu for takeout, pantry items, wine, etc. is available on their website. The food here is always amazingly fresh and flavourful!
