Gale's Menu (stepping out of the 21st Century) ~ Toronto

I was thrilled to join a friend and his family at Gale's today. This tiny diner is reputed to be the cheapest eats in Toronto. Prices on the menu have not changed in decades, lunch for four was just over $10. The service was friendly and the food was good. The place was full almost the entire time we were there.

 

From The Toronto Star: "Besides being a contender for the title of Toronto's cheapest luncheonette, Gale's Snack Bar is also one of the oldest and tiniest. The eatery has been slinging diner staples at Eastern and Carlaw Aves. in Toronto for 80 years. It has been decades since there have been renovations at Gale's, and years since the menu prices were raised. "My father has always wanted our prices to be low so that people can afford the food," explains Eda Chan, daughter of owner David Chan. Eda and David have operated Gale's Snack Bar for 35 years, but never bothered to change the restaurant's name."
