White Lily Diner is a restaurant in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[3][4][5]

The restaurant is known for their all-day diner offerings, as well as rotating daily flavour varieties of doughnuts.[6]

The founders cited the diner concept of U.S. restaurant chain Waffle House as an inspiration for White Lily Diner's own model and some menu items, such as the patty melt.[7]

The restaurant also serves a variety of doughnuts, rotating between 2 and 3 flavour varieties every day. The doughnut flavours were first conceptualized by the restaurant's original pastry chef, Rachelle Cornish, and have continued to be made under successor chefs.[6]

In fall 2024 the then-owners, Ben Denham and Ashley Lloyd, sold the restaurant to an Gajan Panchadcharam, who pledged not to alter the restaurant's successful concept. The restaurant retained its Michelin Green Star and Bib Gourmand in the next Guide update following the sale.[8][9]
