Long-running family fixture Esquire Restaurant has expanded from its original Scarborough home on Victoria Park Avenue to a second location on Queen Street West. Operating since 1981, the establishment specializes in traditional Greek street food alongside classic American diner fare, offering a straightforward concept that bridges chicken souvlaki, gyros, and hearty cheeseburgers. Situated right near the intersection of Queen Street West and Bathurst Street within the vibrant downtown club district, the storefront places diners steps from local nightlife venues and entertainment spots.
First-time visitors can expect generous portions of scratch-made Mediterranean staples, including chicken and pork souvlaki dinners, gyros plates, loaded Greek fries, and poutines. Operating with late-night hours well suited for the surrounding nightlife crowd, the casual counter-service and dine-in spot maintains affordable pricing and welcoming service. Advance phone orders are accepted for quick takeout, making it a convenient stop for a casual sit-down meal or late-night bite in the heart of downtown.
