The tulip like most describe is a no frills diner that serves up various cuts of steaks and other classic diner menu items. The tulip’s atmosphere is outdated. Looks like it hasn’t been touched up ever. Same appearance from when I was there over ten years ago.The food was good. The portions enormous and quite good value for the money paying. The proteins were definitely the highlight of the meals. The mashed potatoes had a glue consistently and the home fries were your standard diner fare. Two meals with salads, mains and desserts were 68$! Not bad when one is a 24oz porter!The service was great. The place wasn’t very busy so the server was very attentive. If you want a cheap steak fix and are in the east end, it’s a worth to try.
You want a hearty filling traditional no frills breakfast? Look no further. Restaurants have come and gone but this Leslieville landmark has stuck around since 1929 for a reason. Don’t go in thinking you are going to be doing some fine dining. This place is a diner. And proud of it. For me, it’s a breakfast or brunch must do. I haven’t been for dinner but I’m willing to bet the steaks and pork chops are super yummy.Usually there is a bit of a line up for breakfast but this morning, it was all clear and we got a window seat! I noticed that they’ve got booths now in the front area which is a nice addition. Our waiter was quick to the table to take our orders and back again with beverages before we knew it. You know how sometimes you are in the middle of talking with your buds and you suddenly realize that it’s been way too long and where the hell is your food? Not here. The food showed up before we ever starting thinking about how long it was gonna be before it got there. Yay! Poached eggs were done properly and back bacon looked juicy and not overdone. I ordered the chopped sirloin (my favourite so I always skip over the 6oz and go for the 9oz) and eggs. It comes with a generous portion of home fries along with a side of toast and will run you about $12 (under $10 for the 6oz version). We could have done with a coffee re-fill sooner than it happened but once the wait staff noticed, the refills kept a comin’.Most people opt for the Tulip Big Breakfast and I get why. 3 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacon strips, 2 pieces of peameal bacon, 2 buttermilk pancakes, home fries and toast for under $10! Insane! The place is cozy and sunny, the food is satisfying and tasty and the service is spot on. What more could you ask for on a Saturday morning when you are feeling a smidge hungover ? Nothin’ I tells ya. Nothin’. thelongandtheshortofit.ca
Best steak in town right here. This has to be the best steak in Toronto right here. Marination and aging of the steak is perfect. Sure Keg has a good steak and Barberian’s can do some things well but Tulip has it nailed. Sometimes I think Tulip’s steak tastes even better than blonde pussy. And that is saying something
Delicious old school Toronto gem huge portions of great food. You cannot go wrong with prime rib dinner or of course any of the extra thick steaks. Decor is meh but it’s an old greasy spoon and the prices and portions can’t be beat
Good food. Old school restaurant with huge portions, my brothers favorite. They age they’re own steaks in the basement.
I came to the Tulip to have their corned beef on rye but they stopped serving that at 4:00 PM, so i ordered their 6.5 oz burger. The grease was pooled on the burger patty, and after soaking up the excess grease with a napkin found the bottom half of the bun was wet and soggy!My sister ordered the Friday night special Sheppard’s Pie! Big mistake! It was made from what appeared to be ground up cooked meat with a very thin layer of mashed potatoes on top. She picked away at it and could only eat about a quarter of it. Another patron nearby ordered the same thing and couldn’t eat it – it was horrible!Disappointed.
Good. It was a great place for steak but lots of great steak places have opened up but was there recently and it still is good and priced great.
