"Stepping into The Lakeview is like stepping into the Toronto of the past. A long, narrow space lined with vinyl banquettes and a bar with round seats, this 24-hour diner has been serving up all-day breakfast, potent Caesars and greasy spoon favorites since 1932. For a greasy spoon, The Lakeview's menu is refreshingly non-greasy, and offers all the classic diner favorites with a few off-beat additions. For instance, you can order a classic Eggs Benedict, or you can opt for the Chicken N'Waffle Benedict, a glorious pile of waffles, crispy cornflake fried chicken, and rivers of hollandaise and authentic maple syrup. The thick-cut Beefeater Onion Rings are a go-to for anytime of day or night (but especially night), and the Deep-Fried Mars Bar served á la mode is every bit the indulgence you'd hope it would be." - Todd Plummer
