George Kiriakou, his brother Peter, and his two cousins grew up at The Wexford Restaurant. As kids, they washed dishes and today, they are the third generation carrying on the family legacy of this friendly neighborhood diner. Situated at the Wexford Heights Shopping Plaza in Scarborough, The Wexford has been serving customers homemade food for more than 55 years. Some of the same customers who walked through the doors when George was a young lad still come here today to eat — or just have a cup of coffee and chat.
“Toronto has become so homogenous, it’s easy to get lost,” says George. “You come in here, and it’s like you are family. We say ‘hi’ to everyone who walks in the door, we talk to them and we listen. People feel a connection when they walk through our doors.”
After immigrating to Canada from Greece in 1958, George’s grandfather and brother started the business. Later, George’s father Anthony (now semi-retired) took the business to another level — expanding the restaurant in the 1980s. Seating went from 50 to more than 200. There is even a private room where local businessmen and women can conduct meetings. Photos of the neighbourhood and local sports heroes adorn the walls, jockeying for space. George points out that the vintage photographs tell the story not just of the restaurant, but also of the neighbourhood.

Hosted a large group for my fathers 92nd birthday. Food and atmosphere was great. The staff was warm and very accommodating.
Typical diner style restaurant. Was clean inside, and portion sizes were very generous. Service was good, with our waitress checking up on us often enough. Sure the cost of some menu items seemed slightly high, but based on the overly generous portions and fresh food, it seems reasonable. Would come back to try some of their other items.
Guy behind cash was very edgy. Bouncing all over the place. Sammy Haggart was in Florida. He is all entertainment. Will be back. Great food.
Went there for breakfast and lunch on two occasions. I had the best salmon sandwich in my life and my friend had the best burger he'd ever had.
As a bus driver, I drive around the city and stop at a lot of restaurants and I find the Wexford's breakfast is head and shoulders above the rest! Service was prompt, portions were large, quality was great. The diner look has an original feeland I felt at home in this friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant as do many of my fellow drivers.
