What User doesn't like about Downsview Restaurant:
This resto was built in 1952 and I don't think it has changed since. Turkey on high bread with graveyard. Hot hamburger and the fish and chips on Friday. Reminds me of small town ontario dinner. View all feedback. What User likes about Downsview Restaurant:
Not sure where the image shown came from but it is NOT the Downsview Restaurant. The owners are an older couple who are both charming as is the retro-appeal of the banquets and the jukeboxes at the tables ! ... a trip down memory lane and an early breakfast ! ... open at 6am. View all feedback.

Few of these places exist anymore, a classic, actual greasy spoon restaurant, rather than some vaguely hipster recreation of one. Breakfast special is a...

Downsview Restaurant, established in 1952, maintains its nostalgic charm with retro decor and a straightforward menu. With a dedicated base of loyal customers, this small diner offers scrumptious homemade dishes cooked with care. From classic turkey sandwiches to hearty fries and gravy, the food is both delicious and reasonably priced. The owners, a charming older couple, provide a friendly atmosphere for a trip down memory lane. Conveniently located on Keele Street, this hidden gem is a must-visit for those seeking quality, wholesome food in a cozy setting.
