Story

1860-1929

The house at 249 Victoria Street that was to become the SENATOR, Toronto's oldest restaurant, dates back to the 19th century. The origins of the property can be traced to the earliest records that were kept by the Town of York, when the area east of Yonge St. was a working class residential neighborhood and Dundas was named Wilton. Representative of the homes built in that era is the historic MACKENZIE HOUSE, circa 1859, on Bond Street, now a popular tourist attraction. At the beginning of the last century, Victoria St. developed into a commercial thoroughfare and the centre for the jewelry trade and in 1926 the property was purchased by the Salvation Army.

1984-2005

In this period, the SENATOR expanded from a family restaurant into one of the most renowned hospitality operations in the city. The adjacent property earned worldwide acclaim as the Senator Steakhouse and the Top O'The Senator jazz club from 1989-2005. A sister restaurant to the diner, The Famous, is now in operation in the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Now in our 76TH year of operation in the same location, we honour everyone - our longtime staff, suppliers and clientele alike - who have contributed to our success. We take constant pride in the traditions and commitment to this family business, which will continue on for generations. The SENATOR began as a home and remains one to our many valued friends and customers.

Always wonderful. We enjoyed the patio for the last warm day of the year. Great attentive service and great diner food. The patio will be open through October we were told, weather permitting. The peach French toast was amazing.
Really hit the spot, especially with the old school diner vibe. Love it!
I heard this place had one of the best meatloaves in Toronto and I was not disappointed. Really hit the spot, especially with the old school diner vibe. Love it!
I really like the people that own this place and their staff. It is a quaint breakfast place in the heart of Toronto that you can get a very nice sandwich and breakfast. I love the breakfast sandwich with eggs, peameal bacon and a side of home fries. You can also get honey and homemade strawberry jam in jars. My kind of place
Yes this is it! Sir Elton John’s Favourite Burger! Simple and Delicious food. The staff are amazing and nice. Would Recommend for sure.
GREAT place. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding. The homemade jam for toast was really good. Coffee was great too. Definitely will go back.
Restaurant with a history - read about it on the front page of the menu. As for the food, the pancakes are superb! French toasts are not bad too. And they make their own honey! Very nice service and friendly staff. Very nice experience having brunch here.
