Centre 55 - Ted Reeve

What is Centre 55 - Ted Reeve? Anchoring the corner of Main and Gerrard in the Upper Beaches and Danforth corridor, this civic address is not a restaurant, but rather a storied community pairing of Community Centre 55 and the historic Ted Reeve Community Arena. Serving the neighbourhood since 1975, the venue trades fine dining for grassroots community spirit, characterized by the hum of the Zamboni, chilled arena air, and echoes from the ice pad. There is no formal dining room, bar, or patio here; seating is strictly spectator bleachers and arena benches.

Centre 55 - Ted Reeve Menu & What to Order Dining here is limited strictly to the arena's old-school concession counter, focused entirely on nostalgic canteen staples built to warm up shivering parents and athletes. The offerings cover quintessential rink classics: steaming cups of drip coffee, rich hot chocolate, salted french fries, and foil-wrapped ballpark hot dogs. Dietary accommodations are limited to standard pre-packaged convenience snacks and bottled drinks. If you are catching a local hockey game or figure skating session, an order of piping-hot fries paired with a hot chocolate is the undisputed rinkside standard.

Know Before You Go As an athletic and community facility rather than an eatery, table reservations do not exist, though ice rentals must be secured in advance through CatchCorner or directly with staff. The complex sits an easy walk from both Main Street subway station and the Danforth GO station, though the on-site parking lot fills rapidly during weekend minor hockey tournaments. The arena operates ice times from 7:00 a.m. to midnight daily all year, while Community Centre 55 administrative offices operate daytime weekday hours.
