You’ll feel very acquainted with Lakeview Diner, whether snuggled in a vintage booth or perched atop a swivel bar stool.
It’s one of Hollywood’s top hot spots in Toronto; the 1930’s building loved by filmmakers, with classic (and very familiar) moments shot in this very diner.
You’ll feel a part of the set as Lakeview serves up a classic menu with its apple pies, cornflake fried chicken and disco poutines.
What Popular Movies Were Filmed Here?
COCKTAIL: Tom Cruise and Elisabeth Shue (“May I suggest some ketchup for your fries?”)
SHAPE OF WATER: Sally Hawkins and Doug Jones (“Yes, Pies for Breakfast…”)
CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN: Lindsay Lohan and Adam Garcia (“I want a deluxe hamburger platter!”)
HAIRSPRAY: John Travolta and Nikki Blonsky (“Ma! Don’t listen to a word she says!”)
WHAT MAKES IT SO VINTAGE?
The wood paneling, brown cushions and tiled hexagon floors hold the diner’s historical integrity. Only subtle changes have been made over the years, very prudently, and have kept true to the original charm, cementing it as a true legacy.
Open 24 hours all week (except for film shoots), you’ll ponder having an old fashioned Mudslide Milkshake for breakfast.
