Leonard’s Restaurant
- 220 Laird Dr. (at Eglinton Ave. E.) • View on map »
- 416-421-9797
The namesake Leonard is long gone, but this Leaside mainstay with unpretentious decor has been serving up family-style grub for decades. Old-fashioned plate fillers include wiener schnitzel, grilled liver and homemade hot turkey and roast beef sandwiches. A fisherman’s plate features fillet of salmon and sole. There’s also a vegetable or chicken stir-fry. No charge for the impromptu history lesson about bygone days when Howard Hughes touched down at the Leaside Aerodrome, which used to stand across the street. Mains $7–$20.
