Tulip

A Toronto favorite for years, the Tulip has the look and feel of a diner, but the food is way better. It bills itself as a steakhouse, and the simply grilled steaks are quite good. However, there's an array of other options worth exploring, from stellar burgers and top-notch spaghetti to fried mushrooms and perfect mashed potatoes. Daily specials (like pork chops, and corned beef with cabbage) are reliable too. And in true diner fashion, all the pies are made in-house. A great place for an economical, completely satisfying meal.
