How much needs to be said about this Roncesvalles institution?  Everybody knows it: it's a great place for a casual meal.  Aris is a real family business, and we feel like a part of the family when we're there.

There's something wonderful about having breakfast made for you, especially "the morning after."  Coffee, eggs and toast arrive and suddenly a hangover is tolerable.  Dirty dishes dissappear, more coffee shows up.  These small miracles are priceless.  But, at Aris, it will cost you a mere $5.  It is hard getting a seat Saturday or Sunday morning - before 9:00 is your best bet.

Recently the Aris staff successfully petitioned the Toronto Archives to display historic photos of the area.  Below are a couple examples (admittedly, these are bad photos.)  Be sure to drop by and see them all.
