Walk through the metal framed doors of The Senator Restaurant and step back into a dining room from a bygone era. There’s a
vintage Coca-Cola machine to your right. The laminate bar is coloured eggshell
and matches with the tabletops, as does the burgundy leather of the barstools
and banquets. Faded checkerboard floors lead you towards the cozy cubicles
where a mishmash of patrons have been noshing on utilitarian diner classics for
generations.
After 85 years of continuous service, The Senator remains
the oldest restaurant in Toronto. Established in 1929 in a small house at 249
Victoria Street, the historic eatery has seen decades of development come and
go, but little has changed within its four walls. A place of nostalgia for
many. A place likely unknown to many more. Bob Sniderman rescued the restaurant
from demolition when he took over in 1984, but stuck to its humble origins…
until now.
