Brunch is meal that my wife and I look đ forward to whenever we have time to spend together. So I had to look for a new place to try, and I found the Rosedale Diner.
A small but quaint place that gives you a homey feeling. The portions given is well worth the price. The staff was very friendly and quick to respond when you need something.
As for the food it was delicious đ. My wife ordered the Peameal bacon đ„ eggs Benedict. Eggs cooked perfectly runny, the holandais sauce was smooth, and the fries burnt just right. And myself I had my favourite Fried Chicken đ and Waffles. Buttermilk & amaretto waffles with maple đ spicy đ¶ syrup which you will find under the waffle as a delicious surprise. And the chicken đ was yummy crispy and juicy. Dip the chicken in the syrup, itâs absolutely delicious đ.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant. And I would definitely come back again.
After watching an episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network I just had to go hunting for the RD.
And disappointed was I not!
A nice, cozy restaurant with great friendly service. The staff were so friendly and helpful that i forgot my phone in their restaurant and the next day when I called them they right away remembered me and had kept it safe and sound. Thanks guys!!
The food here is amazing. It's portions are enough for two people. The prices aren't too high and saying that their not too low either but whatever it is - it's totally worth it.
Had the duck poutine and the sticky pork ribs. Both lived up to their reputation. The duck poutine was rich and full of flavour. The ribs were messy but had a great sweet taste as well.
The RD is must go to place.
I donât venture North of Bloor that often, but recently I had dinner with my friends at Rosedale Diner. I went for their Prix Fixe menu and started with the Duck Liver PatĂ©Â served with pickled red onions, delicious fruit chutney that I spread on crostini. I think I could keep eating that chutney!

To pair with my meal I had the Paloma: grapefruit, tequila, soda, lime and salt. My main was the Steak Frites: a flat iron steak, compound butter and asparagus. I loved the garlicy butter and the steak was very tender. The fries had just the right amount of salt.
My friend Karol had the Duck Poutine which was made with duck confit, Quebec cheese curds, duck gravy and crackling. The prix fixe came with dessert and I opted for the creme brûlée, a classic finisher.
The Prix Fixe starts at $29, and with a large selection of flavourful entrees and mains, the Rosedale Diner is both a satisfying and value meal.
I've been here twice for brunch and both times, ordered the chicken and waffles. I don't eat eggs (preference, not allergy), so this usually means I'm a bit limited in my brunch options. The chicken and waffles was delicious, but both times, I found the music to be far too loud for a mid-morning/ noontime diner. The service was decent; nothing over the top and the waiters came by often enough to get us anything and checked in on us once we had our food.
The diner is a really cool building with a great façade and fun interior. The tables are a little close, so I would recommend eating out with friends you don't mind rubbing elbows with (literally!)
I found the price of $16 for chicken and waffles to be a little much, but otherwise have no real complaints!
This place was featured on "Diners Drive Ins and Dives," with TV food hostest "Guy" so.. Went to try it out. Their steak and lamb special were absolutely delicious. There was nothing to complain about.

Food and server: 4.5
Speed of service: 2.5
Therefore overall score: 3.5
We decided to try the Summerlicious lunch menu at the Rosedale Diner today. We arrived at 1 pm, and only one table in the restaurant was occupied. We thought that service would be reasonably quick, but we were wrong. About 20 minutes for the appetizer to arrive, and another 20 minutes for the main. The server apologized, saying that the kitchen was swamped with orders from the patio. Too long, in my opinion.
The food, however, was very good. I had the Israeli Hummus appetizer and the Smoked Brisket Sandwich. The hummus was "authentic", and the brisket was flavourful. I finished with a very delightful Chocolate Brownie.
SWMBO chose to start with the Brie a la Shum, bringing together a nice combination of baked brie and rhubarb preserve. The next course was Duck Poutine, maybe not as hot as it should have been@, but still tasty. For dessert she had the Creme Brûlée, which she said was one of the best she has ever had.
All in all, a very mixed result.
An Amazing Institution. The Rosedale Diner is like your favourite sweater on the perfect autumn afternoon- cozy, familiar and it makes you feel good. The atmosphere, decor, friendly staff and fun music all contribute to the Diner being one of my favourite places in Toronto. I have been here countless times over the years and every time end up staying way longer than I expected so I can enjoy the whole experience- homemade desserts, delicious fresh coffee and often a good chat with my server. I have always loved my meal at the Diner and it has hands down the best burger I've ever had. My husband often eats the hearty pasta or sticky pork ribs, and I have probably tried every cocktail on their list.
Take my word for it- go for a gorgeous stroll in this beautiful neighbourhood and end at the Rosedale Diner. You won't regret it.
If you watched DDD and come to try their poutine au canard, I believe you would love the rebel poutine at rebel house down the street as well.

Get over yourselves, people.. The most recent review from @rayj is ridiculous. If a restaurant doesn't "cater" to your vegetarian needs (and note the "cater" rather than serve what's on their menu), then go somewhere else. I see this crap all the time. Lots of restaurants serve solely meat or vegetarian items, and I wouldn't expect, once I've sat down at a place and perused the menu, that there should be particular options that serve me. If you don't like it, leave, and don't feel the need to bash the place online to justify your unmitigated anger. The Rosedale Diner has been a staple of the Rosedale neighbourhood for over thirty years, and has remained consistently tasty and friendly to its regulars (I'm one of them, I know). If only there was an urbanspoon or a yelp for terrible, entitled customers, which Rosedale has no shortage of. As a Rosedale resident for over two decades, I can state honestly that this neighbourhood has some of the whiniest people I've ever come across, and the fact that the Rosedale Diner has stayed alive in a neighbourhood this snobby says a lot. The food is overall excellent, and the servers are overall very nice. All of you who feel the need to complain about a place for not catering to children (seriously?) or that you had to move tables? It's a ma-and-pa restaurant. Get over yourselves.
