Well… we can let the cat out of the bag now! 🎬☕️🍳
If you’ve been watching Adults and thought Vladi’s Diner looked a wee bit familiar… you’d be right. 👀
Vladi’s is actually our very own George Street Diner in Toronto! ❤️
Our little red diner got a New York makeover for Season 2 and became one of the regular hangouts for Paul, Anton and the gang.
We’ve had plenty of cameras through these doors over the years, and it never gets old seeing our booths, counter and wee diner transformed for the screen.
Hollywood North indeed! 🎥🇨🇦
And yes — when the cameras leave, Vladi’s turns back into The George Street Diner, and we’ll have the coffee on. ☕️❤️

📣 NEW DINER HOURS
There has been a diner at the corner of George Street and Richmond Street East since 1941, and we’re proud to continue that tradition today.
After trying dinner service a few times, we’ve made the difficult decision to close at 5 PM Wednesday through Friday. Unfortunately, there simply haven’t been enough evening customers to make dinner service viable.
We’re still here serving all your George Street Diner favourites for breakfast, brunch and lunch!
Our new hours:
🍳 Wednesday–Friday: 8 AM–5 PM
☕ Saturday–Sunday: 8 AM–3 PM
🚪 Monday–Tuesday: Closed
Thank you for supporting our little independent diner and helping us keep this special Toronto corner going. We truly appreciate everyone who walks through our doors, and we look forward to welcoming you during our new hours! ❤️
