George Kiriakou, his brother Peter, and his two cousins grew up at The Wexford Restaurant. As kids, they washed dishes and today, they are the third generation carrying on the family legacy of this friendly neighborhood diner. Situated at the Wexford Heights Shopping Plaza in Scarborough, The Wexford has been serving customers homemade food for more than 55 years. Some of the same customers who walked through the doors when George was a young lad still come here today to eat — or just have a cup of coffee and chat.

“Toronto has become so homogenous, it’s easy to get lost,” says George. “You come in here, and it’s like you are family. We say ‘hi’ to everyone who walks in the door, we talk to them and we listen. People feel a connection when they walk through our doors.”

After immigrating to Canada from Greece in 1958, George’s grandfather and brother started the business. Later, George’s father Anthony (now semi-retired) took the business to another level — expanding the restaurant in the 1980s. Seating went from 50 to more than 200. There is even a private room where local businessmen and women can conduct meetings. Photos of the neighbourhood and local sports heroes adorn the walls, jockeying for space. George points out that the vintage photographs tell the story not just of the restaurant, but also of the neighbourhood.

You can't ask much more of a restaurant. Consistant, quality, fresh food. Service bang on. Staff and manager who make you feel welcomed and appreciated. We've eaten breakfast there more times than I can count, and will continue to look forward to our Saturday morning breakfasts at The Wexford.

We stopped in for the All Day Breakfast. The food arrived so quickly, that I barely had time to start in on the coffee. The food portions were more than adequate, the quality was excellent, and the coffee was certainly a good cup. The staff overlapped in service, and the coffee was replenished well before the first cup was consumed. Quite a place.

Best breakfast in the city. I have been going their for years. Always busy, always friendly, always fast. Most importantly the food is real. Fresh squeezed OJ, fresh coffee, They cut their own bacon, soups from scratch, cut their own potatoes. They go through alot of eggs, OJ, coffee, peameal bacon. No comparasion. Opened in 1955 and still going strong as others fall by the wayside. 10 +++++
