Ritz Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

Absolute hidden gem in East York! Ritz has Americana vibes with a Filipino twist. Everything was kept in great condition despite the age of this diner! I highly recommend the dasilog and tapsilog. These are Filipino breakfast items that are served with rice. Dasilog is fried tilapia with and side of vinegar dressing that you drizzle over. The skin is so crispy and the fish is fried perfectly. The saltiness of the fish went really well with the rice!

The tapsilog is stir fried beef and the beef was tender and incredibly saucy. Also works super well with a side of rice. There are greens on the plate too to cut into the savory flavor. The portions are more on the smaller side but the quality of the food is there. You can tell the cooking is with care.

The cassava cake was honestly the best I’ve had in the city. It was phenomenal and had a buttery top as well as the best soft texture. They sell it to go as well!

Such a great spot, reasonable pricing, and homey 50s/60s atmosphere! I definitely ate...

Diner is located at the north-west corner of Donlands and Gamble. There are two parking spots on Gamble right outside the diner. (Bring some change to feed the parking metres.) You step inside and see the original decor that includes cosy booths. Canadian and Filipino breakfast and lunch served until 4PM every day except Monday. We ordered 2 eggs over easy, brown toast, home fries, and crispy bacon. The bacon was VERY good with no fat at all. The meanudo (pork and vegetable stew) served on white rice with freshly cooked green beans, carrots and broccoli. It was super tasty and came with a tangy side sauce. We also had a side order of dasilog (fried milkfish), which had bones but no big deal and it came with a white vinegar dip. Plus, had the buttermilk pancakes, which were fluffy and delicious. For dessert, we ordered the homemade lechon flan. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Coffee was good. Service was...

Such a charming little spot, which does seem a bit run down, but! I guess that's what gives this place its appeal in some way. It seems more retro and very old-school if anything, with its 1970's milkshake machines and its dated radio which seemed to still work surprisingly, and jukebox machines that they had at each table - for display only!

The Filipina server I assumed was one of the owners, and she was very friendly and helpful with portion suggestions, and told us that most items are good enough for 1 person. We had the lumpia, and the kare kare with steamed rice on the side. For dessert, a leche flan. Overall, everything was pretty decent! The bok choy was definitely fresh and the peanut butter sauce was reminiscent to that of Max's in Vaughan I will say bc it's more on the peanut buttery side.

I enjoyed our dine in experience here and would recommend it to people who just want something...
