1 Kitchen Toronto serves up fresh, local, and sustainably sourced farm-to-table cuisine. The restaurant is a zero-waste operation, which spotlights the team’s commitment to preserving the beauty and bounty of nature. And then there’s the bar, where cold-pressed juices form the base of cocktails. The wine list highlights unique and iconic selections – many biodynamic or organic – you’ll also find handcrafted cocktails and Bluestone Lane coffee.
Light-filled and open, 1 Kitchen Toronto has a built-in feeling updated for today, in a glass-walled conservatory-like space with a vaulted wood ceiling and curved trusses hung with greenery. It’s a place that’s comfortable by nature, where you can eat mindfully and eat well, and savour the flavours that come straight from the Garden Pavilion.more...See more text
In 2010, a former mechanic shop on Bathurst was transformed into a cozy diner featuring comfort food and friendly service as part of the newly built Thompson Toronto Hotel. Today, the Thompson Diner is the heartbeat of Toronto’s Fashion District. It combines full bar service and a 24-hour menu with booth and bench seating, making it a hotspot, especially after all the bars in the neighbourhood have closed for the night. “That’s probably one of our busiest times,” says Jeff Waters, the general manager at Thompson Toronto. “It’s a great time to work.”
Jeff joined the Thompson Diner four years after it opened and brought with him more than two decades of hospitality management experience, from culinary skills to event planning. "The Thompson Diner is a unique dining destination for Toronto," says Jeff, who is proud to be part of the team as well as the King West community, where the Thompson Toronto Hotel’s trendy entertainment complex is located (at Wellington and Bathurst). "It really is an all welcoming restaurant that embodies the spirit and energy of the city."

I really like the food here. It's very indulgent. Sometimes there is a line to get in to this place which sucks, but it's open late and worth the wait. I add goat cheese and bacon to the mac and cheese and boy is it worth the extra cost!
Thompson Diner has been a favourite late night spot for many Torontonians. Open until 3 am, the diner is known for its diverse offerings, from poutine to Peking duck.
Open late, Thompson Diner is known for its elevated diner food, and dessert! The chocolate cake is double trouble, with moist layers of delicious fudge frosting! The whole thing is topped off with even more fudge frosting and freshly cut strawberries.
Located on the ground floor of the luxe-Thompson Hotel, the Thompson Diner is frequented by sophisticated diners, looking for a burger (or mac and cheese). It’s known for its signature cocktails, like the boozy milkshakes, and the comfort food menu. The Thompson Diner is chic, comfortable and serves up some delicious diner cuisine!
