White Lily Diner is a restaurant in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.^[5]^[6]^[7]

The restaurant is known for their all-day diner offerings, as well as rotating daily flavour varieties of doughnuts prepared by the restaurant's pastry chef Rachelle Cornish.^[3]

The owners cited the diner concept of U.S. restaurant chain Waffle House as an inspiration for White Lily Diner's concept and some menu items, such as the patty melt.^[8]

Recognition

The business was named a Bib Gourmand restaurant by the Michelin Guide in 2023.^[9]

It was also awarded a Michelin Green Star at the 2023 Michelin ceremony, with the recognition coming due to many of the ingredients in the restaurant's dishes being grown at the owners' organic farm, White Lily Farms.^[1] The farm, located in the Toronto suburb of Uxbridge,^[8] also provides ingredients it produces to several restaurants in the Toronto-area, in addition to the diner.^[2]
