While these Toronto diners maintain an authentically vintage vibe, they’ve evolved to include fresh, wholesome foods and globally inspired dishes. [Image credit: iStock.com/nickfree]

The Lakeview

1
1132 Dundas St W, Toronto ON M6J 1X2

The funky 1950s diner vibe makes up for the fact that Lakeview Restaurant doesn’t actually have a view of the lake. That it's open 24/7 makes it even more appealing. You can choose to sit at a table and feast on comfort foods or relax at the bar with a drink. $4 Caesars and deep-friend mac ‘n’ cheese balls are just the type of comfort grub to get you through any night.
