ZET'S Restaurant

The 38 Best Restaurants in Toronto, Canada | Eater

"This Greek American diner has been situated right outside Toronto Pearson International Airport since 1971, when founder Spyro Sventzouris opened the doors to what was quite literally the only restaurant in the area at that time. Now run by Sventzouris’s grandson Platon, the restaurant remains popular (expect lines but minimal wait times, thanks to swift, efficient, cafeteria-style service). The no-frills, generous portions are humble and honest, the kind of sustenance you want after subsisting on subpar airplane food for a few hours. Even diners not coming off the runway should make a visit to check out the best-selling chicken souvlaki: one pound of chicken skewered and served with the usual suspects like roasted potatoes, rice, Greek salad, a homestyle dinner roll, and tzatziki. Also, try the New York Strip dinner, likely the cheapest steak you’ll find in the city. Know before you go: You’ll find all kinds of characters at Zet’s, which makes for incredible people-watching." - Tiffany Leigh
